Hi guys,
found this website called maxbore; they bore throttle bodies and it looks legit.
Do any of you guys have any experiance with them and the results?
They say the use a larger Butterfly so the car can idle like stock. This is a concern of mine because I don't want a huge idle.
Thanks guys any response appreciated. =]

 

Don't know about maxbore's work, I had mine done by KMS (I think). It idles and drives fine. I have a spare TB and I was thinking about dropping it off at maxbore while I am there next week.

 

Yes, Maxbore is legit. He's been around for several years. I had my GSR TB bored to 64mm back in '04. Turn-around time was only a couple days. The butterfly valve had a nice tight fit without sticking. I've always recommended him.

Damn those walls look thin lol

 

Another vouch for Maxbore here.

Feels and idles like stock.

 

Maxbore did mine as well, really happy with their work etc.

 

+1 for Maxbore

 

Maxbore is legit. They were on here for a while, I had them do mine way back in the day too so they've been doing it for a while with good pricing, turnaround and product.

 

maxbore did 3 tb for me and my buds back in the days, very good work

 

If your trying to stay around 68-70mm why go with maxbore when you can buy an omnipower throttle body for $99 shipped to your door?

 

How much does Maxbore charge?

 

Looks stock, OEM quality.

 

Any dyno comparisons before and after boring?

 

maxbore is good **** he does good work and turn around is very fast

 

So does the omnipower unit :-)

anywhere from 105-225. but 225 is for the TB and manifold port matching.

 

+1 Heard good things about Maxbore but I have a Omni Power 68mm and very happy with it and stock apprearance.

 

That's not bad at all, my diy dremel port job aint cuttin it no more

 

i think thats with an adaptor bore too. i think its only like 155 for b series TB and mani.

 

I have a d16a6 manifold, there are no aftermarket tb for it

 

maxbore did mine.. great work and great turn around.

 

Another happy person for maxbore here, quality work and great turn around time, have pics of before and after too

 

x2 price wise id go with omnipower, also nice thing is you dont have to send any TB out and have to worry about shipping complications.

 

MaxBore was around when aftermarket TB's were a lot more expensive to buy and having your stock one bored was a less expensive alternative to going larger, with stock TB reliability.

Aftermarket TB's often had sticking problems and screws that randomly fell out of the throttle plates, messing up motors. It's also rare to find a test that shows any significant gains from going to a larger TB on most builds you see here, so spending the money on an expensive TB didn't make sense. MaxBore was quite popular until all the Chinese rip off parts started to flood the market and drop the price.
