Ported Throttle Body

FSTJACK · Sep 17, 2006

The Red Truck is going to DC Thursday so Chris Jensen can do a custom tune on it.
I have been thinking about this since I talked to Tony Sawyer (Stinker) and he ported the throttle body on Joann's truck, he emailed me some pics. He said there was a definate improvement in response and power.
Well this needs to be done before the tune is done, so I field stripped, and attacked it today.
I am thinking about port matching the intake manifold also, but I am not sure if I will have time. This also needs to be done before the tune. I would really like to do this before the tune is done, as it will change things once it is tuned. __________________

Rice Eater · Sep 17, 2006

how much would one expect to pay to have a TB ported? Can any millworker do it or is it a specialized thing?

When was the last time you dyno'd the truck mike?

a while....the only changes before we hit the hose will be wires, plugs and the TB....

the plugs did not look good...to much leaded fuel maybe...?

It is a specialized thing that has to be done by hand.
If it is not done correctly you can scrap the Throttle Body. I had a High Performance Carburetor and Fuel Injection business for many years and I did a lot of custom work.

I am thinking about doing more of these if anybody is interested. I would not know what to charge. Probably in the $300.00 to $400.00 range.

Mind you just thinking, I am unemployed and I kinda like it that way ! ! !

David, I will not be able to stick it to much of anybody with the Red truck. It will have just a few goodies and a tune as it is my daily driver. It is just fun to drive, I love these trucks. It puts a big grin on my face every time I get in it.

The Silver truck will be a major force in the Viper truck world.

Here is a link to the other thread about the Silver truck.

Hey Jack you use a Bridgeport Mill (or something similar) to port the throttle body? I want to so that myself, but I want to know whether I have access to the right equipment. Also do you have to change the butterflys when finished? Thanks.

Nah, he did it by hand with grinder / and other stuff. The section where the butterfly seats is untouched.

I think I will try it when I have time, port it with a dremel. Hopefully I will have some time soon.

A dremel is not the right equipment for this job. If you do not have a lot of experiance doing this you can turn the throttle body into junk.

This is not as easy as it might seem, it take many hours with the correct burrs, disks, grinders, polishers and flappers. And experiance and knowledge on where and how deep to go, the blend angles, what not to touch, etc. These throttle bodies are flowed at idle and if it is not reassembled correctly it creates massive problems with the idle air flow and the TPS reading.

This is truly not a job for someone that does not have a great deal of experiance in air flow porting work and working with base plates and throttle bodies, in how to correctly disassemble and reset up the unit.
