adapter from stock 3 bolt Throttle body to 4 bolt 3 " Throttle body from Whiteblock

Nice work Josh!

2fast242gt · 08-21-2009, 09:28 PM

looks cool, but is that mildsteel?

sdturbo · 08-21-2009, 09:37 PM

Yes its mild steel because I am able to buy tighter radius bends in steel vs aluminum. He wanted to change some stuff around so it was shipped unfinished. They are usually powder coated and include a throttle spool.

I don't see why it would matter.

2fast242gt · 08-21-2009, 09:43 PM

it doesnt, i was just thinking aluminum so you dont have to worry about rust inside the adapter. since the intake sees condensation. but powdercoating would solve that.

sdturbo · 08-21-2009, 09:59 PM

Rust would not be much on an issue on the inside. Along with that condensation is some oil film.

B-dub · 08-21-2009, 10:15 PM

Nice work Josh! Looks great.

DNAsEqUeNcE · 08-21-2009, 11:07 PM

Sweet! Now we can run that TB that I had a tough time getting off with the wrong tools

The Aspirator · 08-22-2009, 08:48 AM

Cool beans, someone should have done this a long time ago! Does it require porting the manifold? I would assume so, it'd be cool to see how much.

MrBill · 08-22-2009, 09:28 AM

and what's the magic price?

badvlvo · 08-22-2009, 09:58 AM

Nice.

What is the ID of the 3 bolt flange?

thelostartof · 08-23-2009, 06:07 PM

like 2.25

the 4 bolt flange is around 2.5 IIRC

sdturbo · 08-25-2009, 09:33 PM

2.5 on the 3 bolt and ~2.75 on the 4 bolt.

These are now up on the site and forsale. Please visit Yoshifab.com and buy yours today!

thebornotaku · 08-25-2009, 09:57 PM

what exactly is the benefit of this? are the whiteblock throttle bodies a larger diameter or something?

sdturbo · 08-25-2009, 10:13 PM

Yes, they come in a couple different sizes. 16v is about the same as a stock 8v at 2.2", 850 and 960 are 2.6" but the 850 has a restrictor on the throttle plate. (may only be in NA models)

badvlvo · 08-25-2009, 11:15 PM

Buy this now! I won't until I have a use for it.

mike240dl · 08-25-2009, 11:19 PM
