Default 93+ throttle body on Renix?
I have a spare TB that I was going to have bored, but haven't gotten to it. I'd like to use that style on my Renix, and I was told you can make the switch.

Anyone have any info for me?

TPS sensor is different, TPS mounting is different, butterfly shaft is different.

This is what I did when I put a 99+ intake and throttle body on my Renix stroker.

Dealing with the TPS is the hard part... You just use a spacer/adapter to bolt the throttle body on. Or just drill and tap the intake manifold.

Nope. Never done it sorry. I would think it would be as easy as buying the gasket, laying it on the manifold and marking your holes.

Easier to bore, easier to find, no goofy notch preventing me from making my own snorkle.

Ah, do you have to get a new butterfly when you are done boring it? This and injectors are the next things on my list...

Check out Hesco Performance. They make an adapter plate to bolt an HO tb onto the Renix manifold.
