Best Ebay 92mm throttlebody?
Best Ebay 92mm throttlebody? Anyone with a 92 Ebay throttlebody know the best one that is least likely to have an issue? I'm having a ported Fast 92 intake setup installed in April and need a TB to match. Please don't bring up Nick William or PTM or whoever else because I refuse to get gouged for a few extra hundred dollars because someone put their name on it for what amounts to a metal disc sitting inside another metal tube.
The setup would be with an 85mm MAF with the adapter for a 98 Z28.
Thanks for any info!

There's more to the Nick Williams TB's than just a name. You're paying for a quality piece that's going to do what it should, be easy to tune, and drive great in lower RPM situations. I've been seeing lately where certain tuners won't tune cars that run the ebay TB's. There are a few threads out there regarding what needed to be modified or fixed on the ebay onesto make them work better.

Verdad Gallardo Your tuner had no issues getting everything, even the low RPM driving, dialed in using this TB? So right out of the box, this TB works perfect? I had never heard of the Warr Performance TB's before. I just know that people have had a lot of issues with the Ebay TB's, and many of them can be fixed to work good, but it requires some modifications.
I am still flabbergasted at the prices of dumbass TBs. They cost more than a lot of carburetors which have a lot more intricate castings, moving parts, and more assembly.
Luckily I got a good cheap one from Ballistic Speed before they went out of business or whatever happened to them. $150 and works great.

I understand that guys that bought these TBs have had to modify them to work, & because theres sooo many selling these cheap TBs its hard to decide who to buy from. I paid $120 & 0 issues!
I like how people wanna compare builds when they got chinese parts on their own cars lol!
Yep, when I said "no issues" that means I didn't have to modify, grind, drill a lil hole in the throttle plate for it to work & no my tuner didn't say "well this chinese TB is a problem!"

According to my logic if you change the tb and you then need idle tuning that there is a problem wuth the tb......not the tuning.
I used an ebay unit on an ls3 intake manifold in a turbo setup that ran 8s.
Out of precaution I opened up the IAC opening and ported it smooth. I had to modify the IAC sensor mounting hole to accept an ls1 sensor. Not sure if other sensors are available in a smaller diameter.
Was 1-2 of work in total. Only tool used was a die grinder with a nice carbide on it.
Good to hear there are better options out there now.

lol i like how people like to act like a "nick williams" throttle body is anything more then a ported tb. We were doing ported tb's in my buddies basement 8 years ago with knife edge finishes and precision tapers on his mill and lathe. Just like the pat g cams being nothing more then a guy behind a computer coming up with profiles for people.
