Default Nick Williams Throttle Body or Not???


I’m afraid I have my doubts about this being a real Nick Williams Throttle Body. I have searched and found no markings on it other than the .100” stamped on throttle plate . The seller told me it was an early production Nick Williams TB that’s why it has the .100” designation . I measured the tb with my gauge and it is in fact 92mm. Please let me know if I’ve been had with a eBay Chinese knock off ! Lol

Looks similar to my NW TB. Maybe give him a call.

Looks pretty similar. I had an early nick Williams 92mm from I think 2006 and it didn’t have the .100” on it.

You won't be able to, he sells to distributors only. These throttle bodies are just a side business, the shop is actually called something else on the store front and there is no contact info for the general public.

Yes and that’s what really makes me suspicious that it’s not real because of that stamping .

It’s hard to tell because the lack of markings. I just bought a new 102 and the only marking it has is a made in the USA inside an eagle but no Nick Williams anywhere on it.

Isn't it Williams performance? Talked to nick on Friday, pretty sure it was the right place.

Anyways it doesn't look right to me. I don't think they make a 100mm, also, they don't drill holes in the TB.

Ok . I heard from the man himself Nick Williams . I sent his company an email last night with some pics and he got back to me right away! He told me it was one of his units . The .100” was a fluke that was stamped on the stock used to make the throttle plate . It is .100 thick. So all is good😊

I was unsure as well about the hole in plate. If you check out these throttle body’s online you’ll see that small hole just like there’s one on mine. So that’s normal .
