iBoost Posted December 28, 2010 Report Share Posted December 28, 2010 What benefit would a N/A throttle body net you on a T-5 Also what size is the N/A throttle 3 inch correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRACStar Posted December 28, 2010 Report Share Posted December 28, 2010 Better tip in/throttle response, there is a bit of debate on wether or not it may be too much low end flow with a 960 plate, the 850 N/A plates have a small baffle that restricts flow a bit. And yes the N/A is 3" O.D., actual plate is a bit under IIRC, all I do know is the outside of the factory turbo TB fits in the air path of the N/A's TB with room to spare. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lookforjoe Posted December 28, 2010 Report Share Posted December 28, 2010 Worth doing as one of those incremental changes to improve overall performance have to shave the manifold inlet shave the 960 throttle plate edges and gasket match the intake ports while you have the manifold off. ....and replace your entire PCV while you have that off... :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just had the PCV system replaced, but I've had the throttle body and intake for a while I'm getting ready to send the intake to the powder coaters to have the color changed to red. So I should send it to a machine shop to have the intake matched to the throttle body then? What do mean by gasket match the ports? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRACStar Posted December 28, 2010 Report Share Posted December 28, 2010 So should the plate be changed or just look to get a 960 N/A throttle body? Just the plate, the 960 TB has the TPS in the wrong position. You need a 850N/A TB and a 960 plate, if you don't need it right now and are patient they do pop up from time to time in for sale already assembled. And to add on to Hussein's post, if you do all of those steps trim down the mounting screws also(their about 1/2" too long). And gasket matching is just what it sounds like, lay the gasket against the flange at the end of the runners and you'll see that the gasket opening is larger than the runners. Mark the outline of the gasket with something (dye,marker,a scribe) and remove material until it matches. Keep in mind you do not want a polished finish on the intake side you want to leave it a little rough to create turbulence in the chamber and help atomize the fuel.

lookforjoe Posted December 28, 2010 Report Share Posted December 28, 2010 I'll keep my eye open for one. Thanks 960 TB works just fine. The TPS switch just points towards the pass side instead of the drivers' - just need to re-orient the harness connector. All the 870 linkage parts have to be transferred.

If you're going to pay to have the intake coated - grind off all the casting lines & clean up the excess weight around the inlet first... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TorqueSteer Posted December 28, 2010 Report Share Posted December 28, 2010 You don't absolutely need a 960 plate in the NA TB if you can't find one. When I installed the NA throttle body, I removed the plastic wedge from the plate and filled in the holes with solder and a torch. I initially did some lab testing to ensure that it would hold up and after 6 months of actual use, its holding up fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
db130 Posted December 28, 2010 Report Share Posted December 28, 2010 i have a limited quantity of 960 tb plates available(according to my dealer contact, they are no longer available although i don't know how true that is). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried mt dremel and a mouse sander I couldn't get it like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Betty Posted December 29, 2010 Report Share Posted December 29, 2010 I'll keep my eye open for one. Thanks Hey, there's a bunch of NA's at crazy rays in jessup. If you want me to pick you up one let me know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
