1zz Throttle Body - what needs to be done to it - Page 2 - Toyota Yaris Forums

chongopants · 11-14-2009, 12:04 PM

Well all we need is a comprehensive how-to on buying...modifying...and installing... the TB until someone sells it specifically for that reason (which is an incredible idea btw)... So I can say I am very much intersted in that if anyone decides to do it... Just coming from vehicles that didn't have a TB that is near the same...

If you are not doing head work (bigger valves, porting, different cam) and improving intake manifold too ....how does this improve anything?

Sounds like a waste of time. Or is it mental HP youre gaining?

there's several people on this forum who have done the swap and noticed a difference. Not a mental difference.

I did the chip swap.

Interesting. The one I purchase from Garm worked flawlessly from the initial install. I did however use a cheap BOMZ intake which made fiting over the throttle body(which is larger) MUCH easier.

Example: you put an intake on the car and you dyno. More horsepower. More air going in requires more fuel = more power (even if it's a little bit).

This is true for a Yaris -- or your Boxster.

I've been running this Throttle for more than a Year, no problems. I do recommend it. If you have any doubts get one!!!! LOL

I am going to slap my 1ZZ on my box this weekend.. did some things to it first:

Shaved and Polished the bore, Knife edged the leading edge of the throttle plate, wrinkle finish paint and TRD engraved plate.
