Are the throttle bodies from a NA the same as the Turbo? I want to get a throttle body modded but I need my rx-7 as a daily driver, I was curious if I could pick one off of the local junk yards, have the mods done and slap it on to my car. Reason I ask is cause ther is never a Turbo model in the Junkyards where I live.

the turbo ones are close, basically they are upside down. i dont think it would work, you could try. i'm in sunnyvale too

Is it really always sunny in Sunnyvale?



You can pick up a used TB on Ebay pretty cheap, I got one for $10.

No kidding Mike! your in sunnyvale? You wouldn't happen to be that White FC TII that I keep seeing driving on Hollenbeck and Mathilda ave? I want my car to sound like that one.



Damn I wish I would have known that sooner, then I could have tried to meet with you, I got about a week left before I move down to LA to work for Disney Animation Studios.



hehe oh well. Dude I heard that FC again just now!!!! that exhaust note, and BOV!!!

Nemesis, for most of the time yes, it's sunny although we had a pretty wet winter this year, rain, rain, and hell more rain. Oh an lets not for get wind to, but now its Sunny, I think we might get a cloudy day once a week. I'm not to wild of about the weather here in Cali, I like variety I'm an Alaskan Boy, just moved down here to get schooled and get a job in what I want to do. Which if you read the previous post, I got it!!

Whoaa, theres a difference between the two diff TB's? Well i know one is turbo but if you have an N/A i thought it didnt matter, cause all ur doin is takin out the butterfly thingies anyways?

nope i thats not mine, i think i know who it is though

True but I also plan to knife edge the interior walls of the TB and polish the surface to a mirror finish, this helps produce less turbulant air flowing through the TB. It isn't a big performance gain but it helps.

Oh. I was gonna do taht to mine too, and swap into my new engine when i get it but as it ook it off my blown engine had another surprise for me. Rust all over the interior side of the tb butterflies and all over the inside of the tb. :(

rust? usually its just carbon
