Throttle Body

[barberben]

Hey guys. The chicken is really coming along! I love this car. I am looking for a 75mm or larger throttle body for my SC. The stock one looks tiny compared to the huge CAI and 73mm throttle body. I saw some guys talking about a company that was sellin them for 75+shipping, but I haven't called them yet. I thought I'd throw it out to all of you first. Thanks.

What's the info on the 75+ shipping guy?

It was professional products TB on ebay, you have to get the part # then look that up on ebay. it was not listed under vehicle.

He's right. Go to eBay and search "Professional Products 69232". It's coming straight from PP and it's 85.00 + shipping. The same one sells on Summit and JC Whitney for 162.00 + shipping. I ordered one last night. It should be a nice addition to everything else I've done. All I need to do now is make me a cold air divider.

Thanks for the link!
I ordered one just now.

[Surgin]

69232 is the polished, 69233 is the satin and that one is 75.00 plus shipping.

Good luck.

I bought the polished one.

Make sure you guys search for the issues others have had with the PP TB's. That way, you'll know what to expect and can take care of the problems before installation (if any).

They work fine, but oftentimes need a little tweaking to fix manufacturing bloopers. I had to enlarge the mounting holes and drill the idle air adjustment hole further down.

So that 75mm tb will fit my 91 style inlet plenum without having to mess with it?
Someone told me a 75mm tb wont fit my inlet plenum that s why am asking.

Thanks in advance

It will mount to it, but there will be a large lip exposed to the airflow. The hole in the plenum is only about 60mm in diameter. If you want to take better advantage of the larger TB, you need to grind the plenum to blend the transition from 75mm to 60mm.

If you want to take FULL advantage of the larger TB, you need to construct a new plenum with a much larger internal diameter, so there is no "necking down" at all. The guy whose screen name is Flex can do that.

I also saw the professional product TB. Thought there had to be something wrong with it for sure if it was only going for $75. Glad to hear some of you guys are using them and they need slight tweaking. I'll def be ordering one of these

Ironworker, how much did the one through spinning-wheels cost you?

[barberben]

I ordered this and still haven't gotten it yet. From what I've read, PP's eBay customer service kinda sucks. Anybody else have experience with them?
