I ported my spare Cobalt SS TC intake and Throttle Body. Notice I didnt remove any material from the speed bump area of the intake. Also ported throttle body and installed a knife edged blade with countersunk flathead screws w Locktite. Also portmatched the head. I used the new LNF intake gasket as a template.








Also made the intake pretty. This was done with a couple light coats of yellow Rustoleum which sticks to anything ,2 coats of clear Plasti Dip and a light coat of VHT HI temp clear. Pretty HUH ?

 

Intersting. Throw that sucker on there and show us what she can do

 

I allready have the old one off and have the car ripped apart anyways to put a new clutch master cylinder and ZZP adjustable rod in but the weather FN sucks

 

I have another Throttle Body completely disassembled and I am knife edging the throttle blade shaft on that one.

 

looks great , but wonder if their is any gain to be had .

 

I think BYT picked up about 8 HP from his

 

i still gotta install mine. i have a ported intake mani ant tb laying around. lol. im so lazy.

 

Nice job

 

Its not to hard. the whole R&R should take less than 2 hours

 

was that 8hp at 26psi or 8hp at 15psi?

 

Im not sure. Have to find the thread

 

Looks great man, definitely interested in the results.

 

Second me in on that... have looked high and low for results on such modifications but can't find anything. Can't wait to hear how it all plays out! Good job btw.

 

Yea, I cant prove it made power or didn't so I let it die. I should do a better comparrison one day so we all know.

You need to do a lil more on the TB. You want to "funnel" shape the very top to almost make it like a velocity stack at the opening and I would def stay away from the blade area plus a couple inches, Oscar went crazy on his and the car didn't run for **** after.

Im still going to finish my lil fixture that will allow me to mill the rod thinner like I do on the WRX ones:




Looking good tho, like that you're playing with ideas

 

byt's looks smoother or is it just with the angle and flash?

 

yep I basically smoothed out the machine marks and opened the inlet up and smoothed out the exit but stayed away from the area where the blade sits
