Ported throttle body

Some pics of mine, did the back today



Font for good measure



Nearly forgot to top up coolant afterwards

I did mine on Friday night at DH's place. Yours looks good, good job. Haven't driven it yet, but it had been started up. Idles like a bit of a pig and sticks at about 1300 revs a little bit when maneuvering. at full throttle though should be a right old laugh

did you do the back?  its quite bumpy there got loads off.
Carbide burr's slice ali like butter took seconds done quite a few of these now, does help to be The Engineering manager

Yeah back too. I used a hand file haha, took a while and gotta admit, idle is probably like it is due to the fact I got a bit too keen on some parts. If I had used a dremel then I would have had no probs at all.

Gives you an idea how much came out of the back

Can't really see too well on those pics, but looks about the same as mine. Just like the inside of a bog roll, smooth with no humps

prob took too much off around butterfly if idling wierd, mine idles just as before i smoothed mine but throttle response is much better esp. from low revs.

Yeah that is the problem. It's because I used a hand file rather than a dremel.
