ported TB installed
ported TB installed I ordered a Ported TB by Jantzer through Chris at CC Performace great product and service and i got it in only a few days. I didnt opt for them to paint it or anythin and when i got it I decided i would paint it myself. took it a part scuffed it up and cleaned it and then sprayed 3 coats of a a night black metallic enamel a really cool color i think. It looks black on the cap but its more like a really dark gray kinda like the dark carbon color GM has on there trucks. I then sprayed 4 coats of clear and let it sit overnight.
So today i get home from church and start at it get the old TB off transfer the sensors over and went to put it on got the 3 bolts started. then started tightening the 2nd one and it just snapped in half. fun fun so my Dad and I play with it a bit to see if we could back it out tried all our plyers and wrenches nothing could get ahold of it. so we got out the dremel and cut a groove in it and able to get it out that way very lucky we didnt have to do more.
So went and got some mroe bolts and a 2ft 5/16 fuel line hose to bypass the coolant going into the TB got everything bolted back on and it does seem to run better and have better response when i hit the gas ill take it to the track in a week or two and see if its enough to drop me that .11 to get into the 12s.
well here is some pictures enjoy.
