[butters607]

i was searching around randomly today and stumbled upon this throttle body i know there had been some talk of prices on some so here ya go and like it says its not stock its re-bored 2mm larger than stock! http://www.proflowdesign.com/tbtoy.htm

I doubt they do the TBW throttle bodies.

i dont know would have to ask just another option for people

 

[Torspd]

I'd assume that they do. It says on their site FJ/Xrunner.
What is the diameter of our TB again. I forgot.

ok update i just talked to them on the phone the throttle body is 250$, 150$ core they do have them in stock rdy to ship this is just the intake im not sure what else you would need gaskets etc.

 

[blastap]

its just an o-ring and your set

 

[butters607]

ok just thought id mention it so we could have some more options for the trucks!

 

[Torspd]

Isn't the stock one 68 mm?
Good finding Butters

If it is, then this will add an addifional 216.66mm squared of area. Don't know how much that will benefit, until someone does a dyno. Probably help the F/I trucks the most. So who is going to buy one?

I thought about doing this a while back and looked into it - There is like no meat on our stocker lol.

I have a spare I can send out, see how it comes back... lol

interesting. what would be the benifits? sounds like a nice deal

I've had it bookmarked for awhile, thinking about doing it. I will have an extra throttle body here this week hopefully.

bigger hole, so you can shove more air through it. :top:

update update i have talked to them on the phone again they say that they have seen increases in the higher rpm range mostly up to 10 for n/a and up to 40 h.p. f/i tested on a mitsubishi v6

 

[zrgray]

Hmmm... don't think 40 hp really sounds realistic for us even with f/i. Would like to see what kinda gains it would make.

 

[ntinhri]

I dont understand.. intake and other side is all the same size, how would you gain anything with a 2" sections 2mm bigger?

 

[Tapp]

mmmmm... this could be a nice mod for us F.I. guys..

buddy has a turboed Taco(96) had his throttle body bored..and saw some very nice Gains!!!

 

[butters607]

yea im not sure it would have to be tested thats just what i was told!

the throttle body should be a restriction in the system.So making it bigger will be less of a restriction.

They didn't put the 2uz throttle body on the TRD Xrunner for no reason.
Aside from that, referrencing to other cars. When a lot of Mustang guys put a big supercharger on, or smaller pulleys, that is always one of the mods they do. Increase the volume of air into the motor and decrease the restriction of it at the same time. Just common sense really. I've been wanting to do this for a long time as well. Just getting the 2uz swapped requires a ton more money. This is the next alternative.
I have a spare one right now as well. Maybe I should do it also. hmmm
