You can get an AFX 55mm here: http://www.howellautomotive.com/How...duct_info.php?cPath=142_38_88&products_id=297

Or you can try the jeep throttle body mod if you want to save a few bucks. Find that here: http://www.dimensia.com:81/jimbo/JeepTBfor2gnt.html

Woah woah woah... Don't be confussing this guy with shitty parts now! First off THE JEEP 60mm TB does not work! metal jim is some sort of a GOD to get it to. There are MASSIVE spring problems with the jeep tb, and its essentually NEAR impossible to get it to work.

The Jeep throttle body is not as bad as you make it sound. There are LOTS of things you need to do right, the first time, to keep from having lots of problems that will require a complete dismantling of it all over again. But if you take your time, research what these problems are and the fixes, and aren't afraid of a little work this mod has the potential to be well worth the money.

I've made four of them myself. The spring issue is by far the toughest obstacle because of the spring rate needed to shut the plate and getting nice smooth action is also key. For the average person with limited tools and intelligence you're better off buying one from someone else who already pieced it together. Or consider a company that makes larger throttle bodies if you don't trust the seller.

Keep in mind though that the stock upper intake manifold opening is 52mm which means a 4mm lip all the way around the circumference of the throttle body. Turbulence=bad. You may want to consider having it ported to match the new throttle body of your choice.

p.s. I'm not making anymore at this time nor have any plans to make any in the near future, please don't ask.

so if i got a 60mm throttle bod, and i ported and polished my intake manifold...would i need to match them up...

 

[Dark_Racer]

get the intake manifold ported for 60mm to match the 60mm tb. And the stock mount ups for the p&p intake manifold will match up to the 60mm tb

But remember, that if you then port the Intake manifold to 60mm, you now have a lip at the intake ports on the head, which will then cause turbulence. Then you have to port the head. It never ends
