Help me decide which ported TB
 
I'm having trouble deciding between the Jantzer ported stock TB or the one from The Powder Pro. They both look the same to me. What do ya'll think? Also, I'm not getting it coated or anything.

CayenneRedV6 11-12-2008 11:02 AM

I just noticed that it looks like the Jantzer TB gets epoxied, I don't want that so I guess I'm going with The Powder Pro. That was easy. lol

BobDoLe 11-12-2008 11:37 AM

my jantzer was not epoxied.

CayenneRedV6 11-12-2008 01:42 PM

Well, I guess I'll have to call them and ask because the ones I was looking at had epoxy on them. So, I guess the question still stands then which one would ya'll go with assuming the Jantzer isn't epoxied.

i went with bo white

i got mine ported from powder pro, sean does amazing work... i also got mine powdercoated as well which looks awesome.

CayenneRedV6 11-12-2008 07:21 PM

I was looking at these two because they are both about the same price, around $70 and I tought I read that Bo White didn't do them any more. I'm starting to lean toward Powder Pro because I have read more about how good they are lately.

Just got mine back from RevXtreme (CNC ported). I'm VERY happy. Fantastic throttle response. Don't know about power gains though since I did LT headers at same time.

$129 plus core. Same day turn around...just factor shipping time & cost.

CayenneRedV6 11-12-2008 08:50 PM

Yeah I looked at those and they do look bad ass. Thats just more than I wanted to spend. If you factor in shipping to RevXtreme and back then thats about $160.

Just received mine back from Sean at Powder Pro AKA SilverGhost. He did a great job. Good guy to deal with also.

CayenneRedV6 11-12-2008 09:40 PM

Man this is tuff. So now i guess the question is is the extra cost of the RevXtreme TB worth it?

noriceinside 11-12-2008 10:10 PM

i went with jantzer and couldnt be happier. in the end is was only 60 bucks plus shipping.

CayenneRedV6 11-13-2008 11:21 AM

I'm realy digging the claims that RevXtreme made about HP gains with there TB. I may just have to spend the extra bank and go with that one. Thanks for the help.

SilverGhost 11-13-2008 10:54 PM

Thanks for the props guys:)

I am not sure how a CNC program could be any better. Some porters use a lathe to remove the ridge but the rest needs to be done by hand.

I am far from an expert on CNC machines though, I don't know what their capabilities are exactly in terms of shaping and blending the bowl of the TB of that would still need to be done by hand.

jsteele90 11-14-2008 12:27 AM

what about shaner throttle bodies they do great work too

Lithium 11-14-2008 12:53 AM

i went with jantzer as well...really nice job.

99blancoSS 11-14-2008 06:13 AM

The Jantzer is not epoxied. Many many Jantzer Tb's are on the road with happy customers and great results. I carry the RevX cnc'ed version as well.

i CNC will be more consistent, that is why 95% of all heads are done on one...

If anyone wants to shoot over a rev extreme i will flow test that vs. my bo white p&p and there will be no more guessing...

obviously i will send it back when finished :)

SilverGhost 11-14-2008 05:06 PM

Understood. On the flipside, porting a stock TB is far from rocket science. Its practice and persistence and having a good eye/hand more than anything. I believe my work to be rather consistent:)
