Finally modding!

more material off the throttle body so that it will look a bit more like the one i posted a pic of.

I'm not looking for pretty, I'm looking for practical.

 

[crazzywolfie]

i like both

 

[dodge dude94]

But it'll be covered.


And since when do you like pretty?! Have you looked at either of your trucks lately?

 

[crazzywolfie]

it is still nice to know it is clean and pretty.

under my hood is pretty. my trucks got a rat rod feel to them

 

[dodge dude94]

Eh, I'll try the sanding bit and if that doesn't do it I'll leave it alone. I'll be using the hone to hopefully bevel the edges of the bores a bit too.

And rat rod? Please.

 

[crazzywolfie]

did you look at the hole that the s bolt threads into? it goes all the way through the TB. my friend just pointed that out to me. fire up the die grinder and cut the rest of that horn off

 

[dodge dude94]

har har..I wondered how far down that went. I guess I'll be cutting that off next weekend.

 

[crazzywolfie]

you should be able to look through the hole with the s bolt out. i don't know how you mist that since you had it all apart. should have about 3/4"-1" of material for the bolt to bite into which is more than enough.

 

[dodge dude94]

I looked and didn't see anything but that doesn't mean anything. lol

[dodge dude94]

You only replace the butterflies if you bore to 52mm. For the 50 you don't need them.

 

[jbmobbs]

Do u buy or make them?

[dodge dude94]

That I do not know. Most people that have 52mm TBs didn't make them themselves, they just bought the TB.


The stock TB is actually 50mm below the throttle plates, but the bores are tapered on the top side shrinking the size down before the plates.
