[cliffybabe]

Ok i've bought a big bore throtle body off Ste (top bloke)

The throtle body has no in and out water supply on it part number 4, the 2 pipe are missing



Is this ok to run without it on my car??? Ste had a joiner pipe between the 2 i just wanted to check that this was cool

Thanks

One more question my throtle body has 2 Vacum hose's coming out of the right hand side of the unit, pipe's 3 and 4 listed below,



Is it ok to replum this pipe to alough me to use this throtle body??

Thanks

its all a common vaccuum hose, you can use normal vaccuum hose and fittings to join the vaccuum hose to you TB inlets. No leaks allowed though!!

[mikey-t]

hmmmmm i may be investing in a similar throt` soon

[cliffybabe]

Ste its the nuts mate, I cant belive what a difference it makes

[Morat]

Is this on a 320 or a 325?

[stuartgallafant]

cliffy, i'll be round later for a little tester!!!

[Project_E30]

What car is the larger Throttle Body from?

Also, do you have to open up the inlet manifold to match?

[reggid]

here is a pic of my old throtle body on the left and my new one on the right

what are the sizes (ID) of each? and where did you get the bigger one?

[cliffybabe]

Moart: This has gone onto a early lump 325 mate I think u should be able o fit it on a 320, ask Sal

Stu: Ur always welcome mate

Project E30: Its a straight forward bolt on mate ( dont forget a new gasket fromt the stealer a whopping 38p ), As for the body its self its a normal one bore'd out I believe (Sal would be the guy to ask)

Reggid: I've got the size differences at home ill post them up later for ya

I got the throtle body from Ste who had it on his touring he bought from Sal, Best person to see for one would be the zone shop.

[Morat]

Would it help on a later 325i? I've got a plastic bumper 325i from 1988. It has the early ICV tho if thats any use..

It should help, The car feels alot more responcive, Contact Sal at the zone shop

[Project_E30]

What I dont get is if you dont have to open out the inlet manifold where the TB attaches to then how can it flow more air?

Also what do you do with the coolent pipes if your not heating the manifold?

The hole on the inlet is bigger than the normail throtle body i think, As for the cooling pipes u just connect them together and job done.

[Project_E30]

So the airbox side is opened out but the side between the butterfly and the inlet manifold remain untouched?

How much of a difference would you have said this made and have you done anything else to the car?
