boreing out intake manifold for 60mm tb?

okay, so I have a 60mm TB off a ka24e but I was wondering, do I have to bore out my intake manifold to 60mm too before I slap this on?

or can I just slap it on for now? what will happen if I do that?

how much would it cost to bore out the whole thing, or should I just gasket match the opening myself with a dremel?

lemme know guys..I wanna get my TB on :D

whip out that dremel... lol yeah i wouldnt throw it one because if it's not matched to the same size before you throw it on it can actually hinder perfromance...

well putting it on without boring the opening out is like having the stock tb on there... and instead of a dremel use a air die grinder with a carbide tip, makes the whole process very speady..

uh...how about a very fast torquey corded electric drill with lots of grinding stones ehhe

that would work but trust me spend the cash and get a carbide bit it makes the process so much easier then stones casue they just get clogged with the alum..

hwo much would a carbide tip go for?

and can i still use it with a drill?

and so I dont' have to bore it out compeltely...just the opening?

and yea...I'll be trying to clean out the manifold after I finish boring it obviously...try to get any gunk off that's on there with some carb cleaner or something.

oh yea...is it okay to get the MAF wet? cause I've got some gunk in my MAF opening that I wanna clean off but I dunno if I can get the MAF wet or not.

it'll be okay as long as I do it off the car and wait until it's completely dry right?

the bits are about 10-20bucks and yes they will work in a drill.. as far as the maf it not good to get it wet or spray it cause you can damage the hotwires themselves and if you do so you need a new maf

okay, thanks.

these are the only things I could find with "carbide" tips...

and saw baldes...but I dont think you meant those..haha

go to any home depot or ace and they will have them there... they are in the hardware section near al the other drills and bits

Psst.... Go to Princess Auto and buy an electric die grinder for $68. Way faster and easier than trying to use a dremel, especially if you want to start porting cast iron pieces.

I won't be using a dremel.

I just said dremel for an example

I have a very good electric drill that I'll be using.

Just looking at the options,

Electric Drill .. 2,500 rpm, High torque
Dremel ........ 30,000 rpm, Low torque
Die Grinder ... 30,000 rpm, High torque

Out of those three choices, a drill is your worst bet.

well then, I better go out and find my dremel...

as for an air die grinder....got one at work....problem is...I'm not working there anymore..hahaha

Try to stuff some rags or something in there too so you don't drop any junk down the intake. I slapped one on my car without porting, but I only did it because my TPS went out, and instead of just getting the TPS off the other car, I grabbed the whole throttle body. But it won't gain much unless you port it.

And with the carbide cutters it removes metal quickly, but leaves it kinda rough. I usually get it close with the carbide burrs, then finish it off with cartrage (sp?) rolls.

Indy take the top plenum off your intake and walk that somewhere to put it down.

Bit easier than trying to do it in the engine bay

actually a carbide tip at low speeds works quite well on alum even better then at high speeds(10k+)

heh I was planning on removing the manifold. not willing to risk having lil chips of aluminum in my engine. thanks tho.

so a carbide tip with a regular electric drill may still work better than a dremel?

By the sounds of it yes
