PRICE REDUCTION
http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c276/sonichuskerdu/105_0683.jpg
Here we go again!
The top bar is removed, the tb bored and ported, and a new ANODIZED AND LASER ETCHED butterfly installed. The bore size is 58mm.
New price is $120 plus a 30$ core charge. ($150)
The cores need to be in good shape, last time I was unable to use 2 of them.
They need to be free of rust ,and still have the tps installed. Last time people tried to remove them themselves and they hacked up the tb. If I recieve a unusable tb I'll ship it back at your expense, or the tb will not count as a core. Whichever is more convienant.
I need 10 tb's in my hands before I can begin, and for those who are willing I will still accept extra tb's for a discount of 30$ each. up to 3 tb's per individual.
a deposit of $60 will be required to get on the group buy.

how many tb's to get one done free?
capitalcrew
07-14-2008, 09:54 PM
Limit of three throttle bodies to be sent in. In other words, you don't get one free. Did you read it at all?
4U2QUIK
07-14-2008, 10:19 PM
but you still can get up to 75$ off. which would basically limit this offer to the first 3 people. since i need 9 more tb's.
and they can come off of the vct zetec contours.
mellowness65
07-14-2008, 10:36 PM
yeah i got 3 in the basement at the moment from trying to collect for the last gb, but I don't have the other $65 and was hoping that if i could find some tb's on the cheap that'd work
edit: how much was the little gasket thing to go with it?
4U2QUIK
07-15-2008, 12:20 AM
did i forget to mention that the gaskets are included this time?

and the butterfly's will be anodized and laser engraved.

Befor the old site went down I recall that the idle speed is raised with these, is that still the case? I would be very interested in one if the idle remains the same without toying with it.
Zx2 Frost
07-15-2008, 08:18 AM
Idle is raised a little, but nothing major.
4U2QUIK
07-15-2008, 09:21 AM
and a little is a good thing because it smoothes out the idle, and makes it a lot nicer to drive.

How much is nothing major? I have an ATX that idles great so I was hoping that would not change. I used to have a Gude that idled at 1100 and hated it (just for reference)
Thanks,

Quik, if I send you my TB, will I beable to get the same one back (for some reasons other tb's make my intake rub on the hood)? I also did some minor dremel work to it...will that be a problem?
4U2QUIK
07-15-2008, 02:43 PM
I reduce the height of the tb's just for that reason.
also what's the dremel work? I don't like to work on tb's that have been messed with. especially ones that have been ported out with a dremel or a die grinder. it causes all kinds of greif.
Jaybird
07-15-2008, 03:02 PM
I dremeled out the bump inside. No biggie, I can obtain another one. As soon as that happens I am in (I will pm you when I am ready to send)

Hey I'll go to the scrapyard this weekend sometime. Are the TB's the same in sedans as they are in the ZX2's (for reference). Maybe I can find a few at pull n save.....
4U2QUIK
07-17-2008, 01:31 PM
I dont think so, but you can grab them off of the vct zetec contours which are common in the junk yards.
mellowness65
07-17-2008, 06:21 PM
^you may want to specify that it'd be only the bigger tb that came on them as some contours had that smaller tb you said was junk
J_Mob
07-17-2008, 07:11 PM
^Ok.
I'm just going to take my Torx and a few other hand tools and grab any that look like the one on my ZX2 (I'm gonna check the import/mazda section too). When I get home, I'll compare them....if they're not the same I'll take em back and tell them they didn't work:)
It will help me kill a few hours tomorrow afternoon.

the non vct contours are the smaller ones.
J_Mob
07-18-2008, 11:28 AM
So after 3 different scrapyards, I finally found two of the VCT zetec contours (not a single zx2, and the one vct sedan had the head and manifolds gone). So I pull them, go to pay. 90 freeking dollars. I told them to pi** off. They were all corroded and oxidized anyways.
It's gonna be harder then I thought to find some extra TB's I'm thinking. I can't take mine off the zx2 without having a replacement. Hmmmm...........(thinking)
Jaybird
07-22-2008, 05:18 AM
Just curious about something. Is anyone filing in the small hole made by boring out the tb? If so what are you using and how are you smoothing the finish out? If not, wouldn't this create a leak?
4U2QUIK
07-22-2008, 10:34 AM
the throttle cable bracket screw fills the hole. just add a little rtv to make sure it dosen't leak. It's never been a problem for anyone.

here's a little help. not that I would condone doing something like this, but....
most self pull yards sell car doors for around $40. go get a cadillac door remove the door panel and fill it with as many parts as you can fit in the door and replace the panel and then go pay for the door and walk right out.

Hehe...yeah I though of something along those lines. The ones I found were pretty corroded anyways. There is not a lot of VCT cars at the local scrapyards for some reason. Lots of eagle talons, mitsubishi eclipse, and honda civics though. Especially front end and rollovers. hmmm.

BTW. I dib #1 lol no dibs j/k
you can get one without sending a core, but you'll have to pay the core charge. Which is $30 I believe. So it would be 120$ for the Bored TB and $30 for the core.
just bought tb #4, itll be here in 2 or 3 days so I'll send em to you then
put me on the list 8)
ok, once i get em all I'll add you to the list.

Paypal is the best choice for me.
