just thought i would let the guys running the big gear know that i happened to see new accel 1000cfm billet tpi throttle bodies selling cheap 139.00 on a certain auction site, not my sale or anything just seems cheap, thought i would pass the info on.

leesvet

That IS cheap...
I wonder what the deal is. Nothing worth a crap leaves 50% or more laying on the table.

1000cfm is a 52mm. The stock 48 is 700 IIRC. The 'brand' 52's sell for $350 or more.

Lee, a 1000cfm throttle body is 58mm. That is a terrific price if it is for real.

yep and billet even not just cheap casting like most are. my only concern is that the upper and lower plates dont seem to be included and i assume the top plate is probably no big deal as its possibly just a normal design but i am wondering what it takes for the bottom plate.

aklim

What plates are you referring to? Are you talking about the plate that says "Tune Port Injection"? If so you can transfer that across or get a blank plate or one like mine that says "Lingenfelter Performance Engineering"" and the bottom plate sounds like the IAC manifold. If so, it is transferable. Usually both are not included.

Are those what you are talking about?

ladystoy69

yes those are what i was talking about, i know there not usually included and swap over but at first glance the totally differant look of the billet one made it apear as if it took something special/differant, but now after looking and comparing it to stock gaskets i see that it is the same.

Some like to spend up on a shiny new housing to go with their new TB

How are you going to hook up the plastic air intake tube ??

aklim

Buy the adapter?

JackDidley

Didnt see that in the ebay ad.

DHobbs

Its not in the ebay ad. Its separate.

ladystoy69

dont like dealing with the auction site, here is a direct store link to the throttle body. CLICK HERE

as for the snout to air hose adapter (for lack of better term), it would be like this shows.


so basically something like this , looks easily fabricated..

aklim

Look at the gasket. It would have to be oval and your bolt holes would be slightly different but not easily doable.

JackDidley

The complete kit looks pretty nice. I am not at the power level to need 1000 cfm. I still have the original with 165k miles. I know it will give me problems eventually. It would be nice to get a good deal like that.

JackDidley

Jegs sells the kit for $469.99.

ladystoy69

mhmm , so like 1/2 price once you gather up all parts for a kit(thats figuring that nice billet iac housing and a nice custom top plate too).
would love to get it for my hsr 383 setup but thats on hold atm.
so many projects

blackozvet

there is a guy selling them on aussie ebay for $225 (he started higher !) plus $30 shipping, they must be heavy !!
