port & polished throttle body (ALL EXPLAINED PAGE 4)
hi everyone.
as you know i port & polish a lot of VTS and VTR throttlebodys to sell on sax-p and also on ebay.
just thought i had to share this with you as i am so shocked!
since i dropped the vts engine in my vtr i ported & poloshed the throttlebody. today i stuck a standard one back on and took it for a blast.
i can honestly say that i am gob-smacked with how much slower my car feels! throttle response it uber shit and it has got very poor power in lower revs. it feels like there is something restricting the revs!
(compared to havuing the p&p throttle body on)
I can guarentee that my figure of 166bhp on my cammed vts has DEFINATLY been helped by having a port & polished throttlebody included in my spec.

slighly off topic but you cant guarantee that figure of 166 @ the fly the wheels figure you can
Always thought the inlet system on teh saxo's was pretty decent, but good ot hear it can be improved cheaply to

Suppose the map would be slightly out with the standard body on. Which begs the question why you have a standard one back on

lol it was easy £££
a mate of mine asked me if i could port & polish his throttlebody for him so i said yer. he arrived at my house a bit later than usual and i only had 30mins before i had to get changed to go out so i just said we would do a swap.
then when i get chance ill port & polished what WAS his standard throttlebody.
that fu**er is gonna be the fastest iv ever ported & polished a throttlebody lol cause its shite as standard!
