throttle body

[blaze]

just lookin at throttle bodys on ebay does it give u a notiable power gain is it worth 250 odd bucks? its a super size 1

not too bad if you have a good exhaust, headers and intake. It'll give much better pick up and response.

Might be able to do better than $250 though.

yeah how many mm is it? I think a V8 throttle body is adequate (Which you can get from about $100 from holden), until you start doing major upgrades.

its 70mm . just looked at me old 1 than looks pretty easy to fit just dunno how i gonna get the throttle lead to sit rite any1 ever installed 1?

V8 throttles bolt on the VN-VR engines, not too sure for VS and onwards.

Thats right, a v8 throttle body only fits the vn to vr engines. Ecotec's TB is only 1 mm bigger than v8 anyway. You wont add any more power with bigger TB, only more throttle response and you might find youll loose some bottom end power.

Unless you force induce or mildly work the engine its a waste of money.
