Ported throttle body discussion
#62
ive been talking to some guys over on the club4g.org forum and this is what we discussed...here
im confused then, why was there all the talk of "needing" to port the IM's inlet side to match? when yours is on there without the IM ported and its working fine...

Needing is the wrong word, its not needed to port the IM's inlet to get the throttle body to work. It will work regardless. HOWEVER, you should do it cause the IM's inlet is now smaller then the throttle body so without porting it, it will cause a restriction in airflow. Regardless it's an easy job and you can do it yourself.
Couple of points though, when you buy you new TB make sure it comes with the TPS. If you try and swap the Ralliart's TPS onto the TB it will not work. You need the 3.8l TB and TPS. Also if you search ebay for PAM's Auto they have 3.8l throttle bodies for roughly $130 and if you offer something lower like $110 he will normally go for it.

the TB will bolt on the intake manfifold, but you will have 5mm restriction cause the intakemanifold inlet its 60mm and the TB its 65mm, its simple to understand. Im even surprise the TB opens, i mean, 5mm its a lot the throttle plate can get stuck in there...
