Default Where not to port past on a stock TB



Is this red line where I'm not supposed to port past? I definitely don't want idle issues. Already had them and don't want them again!

Wherever the throttle plate comes in contact with the TB, don't port that part.

I haven't done one, but if there's room to port the back of the TB, you could possibly port-match it to the intake and smooth out the airflow more. Like I say, I haven't done one, so I'm not the expert.

You are correct, up to the red line but not on or past it. There is nothing on the other side of the blade worth messin with.

I WISH that was my TB. I just stole that pic from someone else on this site and added the red line. That picture will be my goal
