Hi,

I am planning to port my throttle body this week.
I have read lots of positives for doing this, but are there any negatives, ie gas mileage, noise etc...?

Thanks,

Paul.

I haven't noticed any negatives since I had mine done as far as I'm concerned. I had the "mods" done with my porting (bump stop etc). Gas mileage seems better if anything. It's cheaper than a lid, and I noticed a ton more benefit from it. It's the single best benefit per $ spent that I've done so far.

The only thing different I noticed after porting would be that if you rev the motor a little with the hood up, it makes a slight whistling sound (kinda like a supercharger). It's nothing you hear while driving tho.

Even by some miracle you didn't like it, you can usually pick up a used TB without sensors for like $40 and go back to stock.

if you dont mess up doing the porting then you will be fine just go slow take your time and follow the step by step instructions.

I did my own, and you just need to watch out for where the blade sits when closed.

Took me about 2.5 hours and I was done.

Thanks for the replys,

No negative things posted.
I will be porting this as soon as I've finished painting my calipers.

Nothing negative at all. Except maybe that the pedal will feel heavier It's nice to have the throttle open all the way (90*0. Make sure you do the bump stop mod too. There are many porters (Bo White, Mark Shaner, New Era Performance, etc.) if you run into problems.
