Question upgraded 70mm Throttlebody.

Hi all ,


I have brought myself a very nice looking aluminium 70mm throttle body , (6mm bigger than standard )

It will fit all GD EJ20 ENGINES.


Just posting to see if anyone would be interested in these? The larger order we could get the cheaper they would cost to make!

I thought the GD throttle body WAS 70mm

That's what size Samco I ordered a couple of months ago and was a perfect fit

Just measured this on here and it is 71mm .... Will check the standard one on the car tom ...

You would have had the hose for the outside ..... this is the inlet size

You wouldn't need a remap ( So i am told ) but I am no scoobie expert tbh.

To benefit from this you would need other mods to notice gain yes

Hi ,

Right a ball part figure is going to be £150 as there is a lot of work involved!

This include's all parts anodised any colour... not including the stainless shaft through the middle , the butterfly or the spring...

Let us know what you think

That would be the outside diameter of the throttle body?

I Think classic throttle bodies were 59 mm inner diameter, and can be CNC machined out to 64 mm and a new butterfly fitted, to give several ( 30% was quoted ) more air flow potential!
I recall there is a step in the inside of the throttle body which narrows the diameter?

EDIT:
DOH... I Think Mine Is a GC Engine Type so NOT the sort you are doing!!!



Question on these new ones - do all the usual sensors, water hoses, cables and emissions stuff still fit? Are they direct bolt on ( apart from possible remap ? )
I have a short throttle body that I cut down by 10mm to fit a big STiV TMIC to my 94 classic. So could be looking for new throttle body ( wider internally prefferred! ) if it fits and all std bits fit to it!

My car is classic wagon import 1994 ish, with throttle cable on n/s of throttle body - would this fit?

Hi all .


I have a lovely red manifold at the factory ready to test these on...


As soon as I get back from my Holiday, I will be able to test my sample one on them to see if anything needs to be modified or not,

These have larger bore on im cookie so they will allow more air to get through, creating more power,

I am hoping to get the first batch ready for me to take to the shootout end of May but there is lots of parts to make so I may be pushing it..


Should be able to answer everyones questions soon,

Chris

Hi,

We didn't really get a lot of interest in them so it kind of pushed them to the back of the queue , but I think these will be a good item to start making.. are you after one then ?
