got bored... and like usuall started thinking about cheap/free mods and went to work...

first i decided to play around a little, never doing this before i figured gotta start somewhere!!!

so i opened up the sc inlet to get a place to start...



















now after getting rid of the lip i stopped... remember while experimenting you can easily mess up really bad... so to keep it simple i chose to remove minimal material...


then it was time to work on throttle body...






before polish...





































after polish



























throttle body installed...






















so what do you guys think???


i didnt polish or finish sc yet... im waiting for a port and polish kit i ordered to come in... it still needs work as you can see... but i think im done with the throttle body for now... ( i removed alot of material in order to get it to match port with sc )

 

looks like some pretty good work.

 

thanks

hmmm no-one else? q's? concerns? coments? when i did a search i had found not to many people had done this... thought i would get more hits...

 

Whil you're at it, fill in the S/C Silencer ports

 

you mean like this...
















did that probably a mon or two ago... and YES it was still in place just were i left it (some said it would fall out cause engine damage)

 

Did it get alot louder?

 

ya know its not that much louder when WOT... its alot louder at partial throttle... you can hear it even while accelerating in vaccum... not loud but can hear it now...

 

nice work. did you notice a big improvememnt in power or better gas mileage at all

 

Very interested in plugging the holes.... Explain... what were the effects?

 

did you prep any thing befor you put that steel hard in? or can you just apply ? looks like you just used brake cleaner is that right? any thing else? looks real good

 

that right i just used it to clean the area... heres a link... its not a how to it just explains what i did...

see link^^^

 

nice... i think im going to port my stock tb

 

nice job! good pics too

 

Looks great!!!

How much time did it take?

 

looks like u need a new butterfly in there. a lot of space between it and tb.

 

 

that area was not touched... have you ever seen a stock lsj TB?

 

i guess i haven't. that's lame it's like that. mine's smooth and no holes.

 

Well nobody really asked anything... Was it worth the time at all? Anything to gain from this?

 

Did mine last week (TB P&P) and noticed the throttle responce pick up a little on the low end. Top end hard to tell. Will be doing the inlet of the SC next rained out weekend. Not trying to Thread jack Hungry just wanted to post up mine as well. Since yours was where I got the idea.
