Bored out throttle body review
Been reading up on boring throttle bodies and I had a extra one laying around and with my resources at work a friend said he would do it for free. As I read online stock bore is 60mm at the top and 53mm at the bottom. Theres a hump I guess robs some power so he took it out but he ran into a tad problem. He ate threw bits and had to go 63mm at the bottom. No biggie.
So I took some Sand paper (polishing) an smoothed everything out inside and polished it so a chrome shine. I tore the whole thing apart cleans it and put it all back together.
Today I did the install. Whoah what a difference!!! Smoother throttle better accel and she idles little high but super steady.
Cool thing now you mash the gas she whistles to haha.
Here's some pics.
I buffed the sh** out of this thing on the inside.
