Anybody rock an OBX throttle body?
If so can you share some feed back on it.
I'm looking at a 74mm one on ebay an it's less then $200 new.
Compared to Skunk2 70mm throttle body that cost extremely close to $400!
**** that.

no because its obx...buy quality parts and you can expect quality reliability....

bdl and hybird racing also make TB's

 

I generally agree with what Russ is saying but I must say that there are certain parts that OBX makes that are far superior to stuff that is on the market. I know their RH was pretty good and also their lsd's. They also had the mugen replica twinloop that were very good quality... but the rest of their stuff I would personally stay away from!

hybrid racing TB looks top!

 

I may be off topic but I was woundering which header is better and louder to getting skunk2 header or buddyclub header?

 

buddy club header is one of the best you can get...

 

skunk2 will be good as well, especially the new mega power one that is out for the 06+ SI's...good to pair it with either a 2.5 or 3 inch exhaust

 

The Hybrid Racing throttle body is over $400!
There's also Blox & BDL that make tb's
Little cheaper, but i know nothing of they're reliability.
Why are these parts so damn expensive if they only work right after a certain peak in power?

 

i ran a bdl on a car.. worked just fine., im not a huge obx fan.. their race headers were a decent buy tho.. buddy club sounds like sex when paired up with a skunk2 60 cat back

 

maxbore

 

this is a boring service not a tb

 

you gotta pay to play homie

 

iv known a few people use them. they work fine.
def dont stick like the BDL tb.
although the HR is nice but high $. and you cant take the cruise control off of it, only teh bracket part which is lame.

 

Thanks.
I'm going max bore maxbore. This is what someone got on EPhatch.

 

the taper is crucial

 

exactly. why buy an aftermarket throttle body that will probably stick when you can bore out your stock one for a fraction of the price.

 

yes but this would mean you would need to have an extra TB during the time yours is out getting bored...or another car to drive...

 

What is taper?

 

I'm using a blox 74mm tb on my car right now! Is pretty good I feel more torque and feel that my high-end has improve. But I just can't figure you how to fix my idle because is idling at 2000rpm. :[

 

good trothle

 

taper created velocity and to be honest tb's aren't going to get you anything at all unless your motor is exceeding the amount of flow it already has. so tb on a bolt on motor build is a waste. putting a velocity stack on your intake pipe has more of an effect.

 

Well im building a K20Z1 turbo, shootin for 370-400whp

 

kinda useless.. turbo gona be punching air thru there.. i never replace the stock tb when building anything less than 500whp goal, and typical don't replace it ever to be honest. ill put a bored and tapered unit on a na car to help because the engine is creating suction to pull in air rather than a turbo thats going to push air in no matter what.

 

500whp?
I've been told going 100hp over stock is when it actually makes a difference.
