I know this topic has been beat to death, but I cant find an answer for my question. I started porting my throttle body yesterday and finished the blade and shaft with no problem. The problem I ran into is that a dremel just doesnt seem to work when porting the actual throttle body. Any advice on tips for the dremel, or other tools that will make this easier? Thanks in advance.

I use an air grinder with a spiral type bit. You can buy them at any hardware store or any farm and home. It looks like a spiral cone.

Carbide burs work the best, and take half the time. It's worth paying somebody over trying to port a TB with a dremel.

Tools make the job gentlemen.

I know its cheap to get it ported, but Im the kind of guy that likes to do things himself. This is actually for my jeep tb that Im working on while my TA is in the shop. Im mainly just trying to remove this big reduction post blade in that tb. Besides, thats $50 is going towards my cam swap Thanks a lot for the info.

Thats my plan. Talk about get more than you pay for. Almost can't wait to take the car off the road... almost.

like its been said b4 why pay someone when you can do it yourself? besides your learning by doing it on your own

I've done a couple. Air grinder and a carbide bit sand paper drum to finish it off. Why pay someone if you can do it yourself and not have to put the car down for a week.

So you dont Fu(k it up, because you did something wrong or you did more harm than good. $50 bucks isnt bad considering they know what to port and what not to. there is even a company that uses a CNC on them that looks awesome, But something like $120 bucks.

i love doing **** myself but i had to really step back and say it was worth the 50 dollars i spent. i knew it was worth it bc you got somebody doing it that has done a ton of them. you are paying for their knowledge and past experience, something a first timer doesn't have. besides for what we spend on other **** whats another 50?? thanks again damian.

I used the sanding drums on the dremel and never had a problem.
