Figured I'd write up a thread on this b.c I was pleased to see my ported throttle body, that I ported over 2 years ago, was shining like the day I did it, after removing it.
This is a virtually easy mod to do, maybe gain a few horses and you'll almost never need to clean it again, b.c polishing it smooth and shiny won't allow any carbon to stick to it.
The process: 3 10mm bolts hold it in, the gasket is reusable and just a couple connectors, plugs removed and dislodge the throttle wire ball and it's off. Next, I dremeled some meat off from inside the TB. Then I smoothed all the lines over and made the transitions smooth and then I polished it nice and shiny. I removed my TB today and it was virtually carbon free. Just a little touch up was needed. I also delved a little deeper and the screws that hold the plate in, I removed and sanded down so they don't don't stick out so much. They probably stuck out 2mm or so. Now its nice and flush to the plate bar. Every little bit counts!!
