  • throttle body plates-larger one

    for those who do your own throttle body modding...where do you get the larger butterfly plates from??

    thanks!

    All the ones Vin and I did we just tapered to the plate. I did a knife edged throttle plate for shits and giggles and the bitch came out nice! I even cut my finger on the bitch...lol. Anyways, I'm not sure if anyone has found one yet but you could look for a plate out of another car with the same holes but a larger diameter.

      I used a plate form another t-body.

      The neon 420a engines have a 52mm plate.

        I hear the Geo Storm GSI has a TB that is swapable with the saturns.

        It is a whole lot bigger to. You do have to make a custom bracket for the trottle cable though.

        Someone correct me if I am wrong.

          Yes the Geo Storm/Isuzu Impulse TB will bolt up to a Saturn intake. Its 65mm at the bore and 57mm at the plate. For best results you will have to port your intake. You will have to make a new throttle cable bracket.

            Depends on if the car was a SOHC or DOHC I believe.

            My Geo Storm TB is only ~53.5mm at the plate.
            I did a light knife-edging and cut down the screws on mine.
            Along with the new bracket, it swapped right on, not a single problem.

                      I hope you're not planning to put a big bore tb on a stock motor. It is pointless. Yes geo storms have a swapable plate, and it does require some modding, a buddy of mine did it on a 94 SL2 and it looks close to factory. Very cool if you want that sleeper look.

                        Whats the stock diameter of the throttle plate?

                          50mm is stock. Tapering the TB is usless and pointless. Done it and has NO effect.
