XF Throttle body for VL

[bangers]

Can anyone tell me what the story is about this so called XF conversion for a VL
commodore is? Sounds a bit stupid to me. Just curious is all. :hit:

Well i'm kinda confused by your post. It's not really a mod you'd do to n/a's unless your keen on wasting a little bit of time. But basically the xf throttle body is bigger. So you let more air in when you plant your foot.

What more do you want to know?

I'd like to know if it's a matter of just ripping one out and putting one in? Are the actual bodies the same size or is it bigger cuz the hole is bigger?

you have to modify the TPS dont you Bex, hey ive seen some machined trumpeted VL throttle boddies for about $100 on ebay im sure.

Yeah TPS has to be changed over. I've never really looked into it.. I'll find a thread on calaisturbo later if I remember. But theres a pretty detailed thread there I believe.

I think it may have even been covered here? Maybe not in the same depth though.

got a mate who had his car on the dino after he put his exaust on, then he went and put a XF throtle bodie on and there was no improvement at all

what exactly is the TPS??
this cant do anything bad to the engine if it is currently N/A??

actully thats a stupid question but oh well....


xf single throttlebody or twin??

bt1 twin throttle body polished and ported would be much better, yeah?
