Enlarged Throttle body for VR6


Recommended Posts

I've got one, gas flowed, larger cross section etc. Fitting is easy, just unbolt the old one and bolt the new one on. Not sure it really made much difference - I'm hoping I may see the benefit when I (eventually) get a remap. Either way, I only paid £100 for it, but wouldn't have paid more.

Hi Chris355, like nickbee I also snagged mine for £100. It possibly won't make a huge difference in performance (I'd guess 5-8 BHP max), but it's all the small gains here and there that add up to a large gain. When AMD are selling gas flowed throttle bodies for £250, I thought £100 was a good deal.

I had an AmD throttle body fitted on my previous Vento VR6 -already had their chip.

Appreciate rolling road figs are sensitive to temp / pressure etc, but my car gained 3bhp and 6lbft - 199bhp and 205lbft

Not that much really I guess in terms of £ per bhp, but the driveability was definitely better - the car would pull smoothly from 800rpm in 5th!!

Cheers

Mina
