Modified Throttle Bodies

[SiCaln]

I spotted this on ebay

Click here

and thought it looked like pretty impressive work so i checked out there site:

www.headtune.co.uk

The work carried out is:

• All casting, pitting & boring marks removed & smoothed

• Internally re-profiled and highly polished

• Obstructive screw-ends ground into spindle

• Perfect horizontal opening of butterfly plate

• Chemically cleaned

• Fully lubricated

Seeing that they have worked on other Toyota models I asked if they would do the same work for our N/As, Vs and GTs.

They said they would for £45 and £7 p&p, but this will go down if we have a bulk buy.

So if anyone is interested, just drop your name down here and ll report and further information i recieve.

cheers Si

may also ask bout intake manifolds, as they do the following for these:

â?¢ Pitting, casting & boring marks smoothed out of runners*

â?¢ Runners widened to match head ports

â?¢ Throttle body fixing area smoothed to regulate airflow

â?¢ All porting work highly polished

â?¢ Chemically cleaned

â?¢ Optionally finished with heat-resistant silver paint

Prices ranging from £50-£150

again, im HIGHLY intrigued, we shall ponder and report back!

jay man im thinkin with the work u and me have planned this could prove rather beneficial to the 100hp chase!!!!!!

Phil.

[SiCaln]

yea I've got a spare, this could be a go-er - i hope so

[Nanglebadger]

defo man!! great work!

Phil.

hmmm i need a spare t/b...

i may be interested..

[SiCaln]

ill wait for them to get back to me, bout availability and the possibility of head work and ill let u know what i hear - sounds like there could be a few interested tho which is good

[SiCaln]

they will also do headwork for us too, but i found this on their site and i think im gna get it done on my spare inlet mani

Spec-R mani

i have asked for a quote but on there they vary from £130-175, so pretty reasonable i reckon, here is the work they carry out

any interest, let me know they also thoroughly clean and degrease, and usually finish in our own black or red heat-resistant gloss colour coat. Other colours (blue, white, silver) are available for an additional fee.

[SiCaln]

yea wasnt gna do the head work but inlet and tbs sound promising to me, not too expensive either

[SiCaln]

got an email back, im gna do it

I cannot quote for the inlet manifold without seeing it first, though the price is likely to be £130 - maybe as low as £100. Throttle body £45, insured return postage £20 for both items.

[Mikey Jay]

I have no inlet mani to modify

Will be a bit pricey to have 4 throttle bodies done methinks....

Worth it though?

[SiCaln]

prob wont need it to be honest squire

[Mikey Jay]

When I convert to open throttle bodies might be worth looking into though, for purposes of efficiency and working well rather than power

[SiCaln]

could well be yea

[SiCaln]
