3" throttle body...

[Nealevo]

Ok anyone got a 3" throttle body they don't want? might aswell upgrade whilst I'm playing about!!!

[Kingsford G]

I wanted 1 too but no 1 answered.They cost a few quid so u`ll b lucky to get one free.

[T5frankie]

It's finding one in the first place, I took my whole inlet manifold off today ready for the 850r

[Nealevo]

Can you still buy them new??

[Kingsford G]

1 way finding out,call steelers.

[sartain87]

Well as mentioned there is only one way to find out...

If its any use here are the three part numbers direct from VADIS for the 3.0 TB's

What are theses larger tb's fitted to as standard? seems like a nice easy upgrade.

If Im not mistaken the standard is 2.5" and these are 3". Fairly straightforward yes, port the inlet manifold and extend the sensor wires and your done.

There fitted to the 960's 6clyinder engines

[Kingsford G]

Can actually feel the difference with this on?

[timbo]

Have a look on eBay for someone breaking a 960 ? We're I got mine from.

[sartain87]

when i was looking for one, someone on VOC told me that one from any 6 cylinder volvo will fit

[t5 pete]

I think only the 960 uses the 6 clyinder with the 3" body i dont think the t6's used them as they were fly by wire , maybe eairly ones did

How hard would it be to use a universal tb on the t5?

No point when the 960tb does a good job.

[Kingsford G]

Any noticeable difference?

Makes the turbo spool up alot better and earlier too.but can make the car more aggressive.

loving this wee site, Mrs bank aint going to like me shortly!

[960kg]

I have bought a few things from them so don`t be put off because of USA they arrived very quickly and safely...

[rogert5]

Tremendous difference, I am running an 18T with 3" exhaust etc It smoothed out the throttle response

[Kingsford G]

you would know if you drive one with one on

If it improves a responce etc.I can`t c y its no good for autos and u not giving much details y not.

[sartain87]

Do you need anything else apart from the throttle body?
