Throttle Body swap

This is a discussion on Throttle Body swap within the 3.1L V6 (LHO) forums, part of the Engine category; I looked at it and it looks exactly the same but with a slightly larger opening of course...

Go for it then. Thats one great price. Should increase air flow by about 17 percent

Installed the new tb, went from a 52mm to a 56mm and yes there is a difference in acceleration but not very much at all. It was worth the $20 I spent on it but I think I am going to find out how much it would cost to get it ported to 60mm. If its more than I would spend at MMS I will buy one from them. I do have a 2003 3.1 motor that has the larger intake manifolds so now my top end is the same as the 3.4 motor. Also I do have a 3" FWI and I noticed at wot it wasnt as throaty but I could hear that it was pulling more air.
