random throttle body i found

[98talonNT]

Hey guys, i found this throttle body on ebay. Looks to be a stock tb just ported out to 55mm. He says something about a half shaft mod on it, just wondering if this was worth the money. Im wanting a bigger throttle body, but not sure if the modern performance is the right option. THanks

Good looking throttle body. Looks like he knows what he is doing. Also his feedback seems to be good as well. No one complaining about his products or anything of sorts. I would go for it. Everything should bolt up from your throttle body and it would flow a lot more than the stock one you have right now. I would just take some Choke/Carb cleaner to it when you get it and really spray it down to make sure he got all of the beads out from blasting it. Just as a first precaution.

Yea im definitley considering it. I was going to buy some carb cleaner anyways, so that works out. Thanks for the help

I've never seen that "halfshaft" mod done before. Looks good. At the same time, the air does not just flow over the plate when opened. It also flows under, but it would make for less restriction, so I would imagine it's okay. I would just be a bit concerned at how well (how long) that plate would stay without moving at all.

Also, you might clean this one out with water and let it air dry before installing it. Carb/Brake-cleaner tends to strip paint. Then your new TB might end up looking like ass.

EDIT:
Price isn't that bad, either. Eddie Fierro usually charges $75 to bore a stocker.

This gives me an evil idea... I have a 60mm tb, If I do a half shaft shank... 64mm tb?

i actually purchased that TB. Got it really quick. looks like he did an awesome job. i'll have to clean it out like you said. i'm waiting on a ported and polished intake manifold and then i'll put it on...
