A little Throttle Body modification

[logic_guy]

So a few weeks ago at work, my boss went out and told me to have a clean up of the workshop. After that, sit down and drink tea till he returns :y::y:

I did my job then bought round the VTR.

I stripped the throttle body within 2 minutes and put it on a grinding wheel.

Before, (I changed the butterfly a few weeks ago to for a polished one)

Awful 5/7mm of brass... not very Aero dynamic :geek:

Butterfly out, a good grind around the edge to bring it to a 'Knifes Edge'

Back into the throttle body. A small little sand with the sander on the bar that holds the butterfly in place to remove more material.

Hideous long screws, time for a little grind.

Ground the screws down for more aerodynamic shaping

Took about half an hour to do.

I never noticed any difference on throttle response :(. Waste of time tbh

Makes more of a difference on the MK1 TBs as they have a restrictive "Lip"

And doing it on a 406 v6 coupe tb you can remove loads.
Port matching the inlet to the head aswell helps alot

just think of the few grams you saved there will get to 60 in 0.0001 seconds quicker

What you had to breakfast and whether or not you took a dump before setting off would make more of a difference lol

If you had a hair cut as well, all adds up!
