i had a chat with jim at online performance not too long ago and he recommended buy a larger bore TB it costs less

[amato2]

i didnt know that.....that why i asked about boring cause i thought it would b the cheaper way to having a larger TB

Labour and machining costs involved in boring out your standard throttle body is ridiculous.
Brand new throttle body or finding a larger one that fits your inlet manifold is much, much cheaper.

ummmm, maybe in Australia, where you get raped by any mechanic for even thinking about looking in the direction of your engine...

ANYWAYS - back to the actual questions!


- what are the con's and pro's of boring out my throttle body?

depends on how it is done.

- Would there be a very large difference in responce and power?

depends if it is actually a restriction or not.

- Would it make a difference even though i havent PnP my intake?

yes, but again depends on level of modications.

- Lastly has anyone tried boring out the throttle body on my J30A engine

not me.
