Larger throttle body on M20 325i

[Finny]

Hi again more questions from me! I know i bet ur all sick of me by now!

I have just been looking at the article regarding the shortshifter fittment, i noticed the article about fitting a larger throttle body and how it makes a big difference.

What exactly does it require?

How much work is it?

Do you get the throttle body from another model, or do you modify the existing one?

Just sounds like a good thing to do, and it says its cheap as well(Allways a bonus).

Cheers

You need to click on the Zoneshop button above, make purchase then wait for the postman, you'll get a new big bore throttlebody. Just take off intake bellow then undo 4 bolts for the throttlebody housing and afew othe pipes, then put the new one on and do up the bolts. Then set it up, throttle plate gap should be 0.75mm, then set the TPS. Job done!

The article in the tech' section is for putting a 2.5 throttle body on a 2.0 inlet manifold, a whole different game altogether

There is also a FAQ about 325i bigger throttle body.

That was what i meant.

So have u got one of these bigger throttle bodys then?

Do you think it makes much difference?

I have a 2.0 so it's not really relevant to me, sorry!
