I was wondering how you can modify your stock throttle body to get more hp out of your truck.

 

Toss it and install a high-perf carb...just kidding, don't think there are any mods for TBI.

Instructions How-To Modify Throttle Body Dodge/Jeep: eBay Motors (item 140419875114 end time Aug-21-10 06:21:34 PDT)

I have one on my 97 318 (5.2) and it works great.

LOL! I'm sorry but that sounds like a rip off!

It doesn't specifically say what modifications it tells you to do. If your boring it out a drimel tool will work. But you can't mess with the butterflies or the area around them. If you have access to a mill or even a lathe then you can correctly bore them out. You can buy larger butterflies on ebay once it has been precisely opened up.

I would say don't buy it. And if others have bought it I'm sure you can find it online. Go to www.Google.com and search.

 

RIP OFF...I don't think so! This is my auction on Ebay! I've modified and sold 400+ TB's and the instructions are precise and exact along with a list of all the tools you'll need and pictures of exactly what you have to do and exactly how you have to do it. If you're smart enough to follow instructions and look at pics, then you're capable of modifying you own TB.

 

I only said it sounds like a rip off. 1st the ad doesn't say EXACTLY what modifications is to be done, for all we know the file could just say paint the trottle body. 2nd tons of info all over the Internet on this subject is available for FREE, and not to mention it is a no brainier to do that kind of a job. And to charge for it sounds low. 3rd Ebay is full of scams with this type of info/subject, and with the little info you proved just screams scam/rip off, just like lots others.

Don't get me wrong, I saw your PDF. It is well put together. Great instructions and pics! But if I never saw it I would have still thought it was a scam/rip off, just due to the ad.

I did a similar job to my TB long ago, I just opened it up not all the polishing ect. Yours came out nice!

If your planning on continuing to sell It on Ebay I suggest to say what you are doing to the TB, and not just say modifying it inside the ad. Next add in some before and after photos in the ad. Also lower your price. Like I said you can find all that info on the Internet for free. Also with how ever many you sold by now I'm sure you can find it easily with www.google.com for free.

 

Why would I want to give YOU exact specifications as to HOW to modify a TB in the Ebay description when you seem to already know exactly how to do it? You are correct that it's not a very hard thing to do IF you use the right tools and do it in the right steps. This pdf. file not only tells you what to do but also tells you what NOT to do.

As far as the before and after pics of the TB, the after pic is already there and if you don't know what a stock TB looks like BEFORE you start then you have no business trying to modify one.

Since you've already somewhat modified your TB then you have no need for these instructions, but for you to say or even imply that I'm selling a rip-off product is totally uncalled for and has a tendency to get me a little agitated!

 

First of all I was talking in general for others. I only said it Sounds like a rip off based on your ad. If your ad included a simple phrase like "How To bore out/open up and polish your stock Throttle Body" If your ad included a phrase similar to that then maybe it wouldn't sound like a scam/rip off.

Yes NOW that I have seen your PDF I know it is not a total rip off. But without seeing it I would still think it is a rip off/scam due to no info on the ad.

I am not trying to fight just help others Dodge owners.

And to the OP sorry for the Thread Hijack. I am done. And I ask others to do the same. Lets keep it on the OT, and not a side topic.
