Throttle Body

[markER717]

Okay so i got a new throttle body, its a v8 one and I was wondering how hard is it to change over the plug ons and stuff. Because the new one has none, for like the sensors and stuff, Also the top spring is that hard to take off? will it fly off when I remove it?

Any help appreciated.

its odd it dont have the applicable areas for the sensors as for the springs they wont fly of but you will have to re tension them when putting them back on im not sure why you bought a v8 tb and this is a point of contention so i expect it to be argued but the stock tb flows nearly to the max the engine can take unless you have head mods and rather large internal mods

Its got holes but the other end of the plugs were removed for some reason. Hard to re tention the springs?

after you have taken it off of the original tb put it on the new one and rotate it by hand putting tension on it at the same time fitting the top plate and locking the ends of the spring in where they belong thats how i did mine im sure theirs probably a far easier way anyone care to share lol

i get what ya meen its dead simple to change over the sensors coupe screws in each give the iac a clean wile its out

Well its got the holes right, but the connections that are held in by 'torx' screws(need to borrow from work -.-)which I will just remove and swap with the v6 one, I suppose.

i get what ya meen its dead simple to change over the sensors coupe screws in each give the iac a clean wile its out and a small flat screw driver will work with the torx screws

on everything swapped over, but it runs as rough as guts, like it sounded so bad it actually scared me.. 0.o sounded like the engine was gonna rumble right of the pay. lol So I will put stock one back on I spose hopefully all sensors and that work or mabye thats the problem?
