Slater Posted June 23, 2006 Report Share Posted June 23, 2006 How about using a mustang TB???ThorSure. You could use a 1982 Chevy Chevette TB if you wanted. Just a matter of the bolt pattern matching as well as adapting it to fit the goofy throttle body cable system and the TPS.Seriously though, why bother when you just bore the stock TB and be done with it?The Mustang TB is 70mm if I remember correctly - too big for these engines. You may as well use the NA or 960 TB which is 100% plug and play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would send me your stock Volvo turbo TB and I would bore it (yes I can also bore the intake manifold as well). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nebor Posted June 23, 2006 Report Share Posted June 23, 2006 I'm really looking forward to that Slater. It'll probably be my first QBM purchase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
POOKDIZZLE Posted June 23, 2006 Report Share Posted June 23, 2006 If you hone out the intake after the TB the N/A TB should work then right? Honing tools are reasonable @ $25.00 to $30 so doing it doesn't seem to be that hard :unsure: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

POOKDIZZLE Posted June 23, 2006 Report Share Posted June 23, 2006 I am not going to answer this.A Volvo Master Tech should be able to accomplish this, I didn't mean for you to think some half wit was going to try it :blink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need a machinist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need a machinist.We bore cylinders out on Saabs when customers don't want to get a new engine due to a busted up piston, I was thinking that it would be a similiar thing, no???

Slater Posted June 23, 2006 Report Share Posted June 23, 2006 A Volvo Master Tech should be able to accomplish this, I didn't mean for you to think some half wit was going to try it I meant I am not going to answer this because I have already done so. Please READ carefully and you will find the answer.Also, to address the hone issue yes a hone would work but it may take a while. You have to open up the opening a TON for the NA. If you want to remove 1/2" of solid aliminum that is about 1.5" thick with a hone go for it. I suggest a carbide bit with a sanding drum. It will do the job in about 5 minutes.

And how much would you charge me to do this?"It is not a released product yet, so pricing and ETA has not been finalized. So please don't bombard me with emails and PMs. It will be released when it is ready. It will be very soon but I am not going to commit to dates, period. As far as price all I can say is that it will be VERY competitively priced. Very." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take it to a machine shop that knows what they're doing. They'll be able to port it a safe amount. Then you'll just have to get a butterfly valve that fits properly.
