I’ve not seen this throttle body on a f series before. Would it be worth running on a turbo setup, or should I stick with the oem body? Thsnks

 

Only other throttle body worth running over stock is the SOS throttle body, because it's a reworked stock one. All of the aftermarket throttle bodies seem to have an issue with the butterfly sticking, and just sucking in general. I don't know about the super high-end stuff like 90+ throttle bodies that are custom machined though.

@s2000Junky get in here lol.

 

Chef seems like a lifetime ago since I saw you in a politics thread. Come on over to vintage sometime

So to get to the topic at hand, looks like the map sensor port is blocked off, so you will need to resolve that for starters unless your employing some other method to map airflow to the engine. Blox make some useful stuff that I have used here and there over the years, but its never been crucial finite components like a TB. They are a pretty cheap brand, which I would avoid with regard to a TB if it were me. I would opt for an oem unit or SOS alternately if you want a little more flow. I've got a low mile oem TB in my part bin for sale if your interested fyi.

 

Yeah, I had sold the old s2000 and picked up a gtr. It was fun for a while, but I wanted the little go kart back so I just bought a bone stock 03.
previous s had an inlinepro log manifold setup and this time I’m going with a tubular. Bought a lot that came with the stock intake and that throttle body, but I didn’t have much restriction before with the stock setup, so I probably won’t make any changes there. I’ve already ordered the sos 3bar oem fitted amp. I may just sell this intake and recoup some money that I paid for the kit.
ill hop over to the politics side shortly. I’ll see how many people I can piss off

 

If memory serves, it shouldn't take long.

 

All of the cheap/low end TBs have issues with the plate sticking and most will leak a small amount of pressure at the butterfly rod. Im sure blox's tb is in that category. Find a TB with a brass butterfly and it wont have that problem of sticking.

I had a ballade tb, but sold it quickly in favor of a hypertune tb.
