Hi there,
Iv heard many people on different cars have made a change to there standard throttle body to get that bit more air, im not sure what it is thats done or how its done or eaven if it works or not...

Does anyone know anything about this and spread any light on it?
Might be something I would try if its worth it.

Thanks
Carl

 

Hi, i know pumaspeed.co.uk do a throttle body replacement for the focus i think its about 250 pound and claims to increase bp by 8 to 12 i think but don't quote me on that as i'm not 100% on the figures....

 

Thats only for the 1.8/2.0 i only have a 1.6 but thanks anyway

 

i ported my own standard 1.6 throttle body a few years ago.
made a nice improvement over throttle response but as for power couldnt say how big a gain.
could definatly feel the difference over standard though.
have a flick through the american websites for instructions on how to do.
you will need some chemical metal and a dremel.

Picked up some chemical metal in my dinner and sorted out a dremel so lets hope it all goes well tomoz.

 

Well not as easy as i thought it would be, i think im going to get another throttle body from the scrappy and try it on that incase it mess's up.

Will post pics and see if any one can spread light on what needs to be done.
