need help.

im on the rpw site and cant find were the bored out throttle body is for a 380. ive checked the parts by make and model aswell as by type.

help appreciated

Mytsgt95,

I'm not sure RPW do a bored out (or larger diameter) throttle body for the 380.

I know they do one for 3rd gen Magnas, but nothing I can see for a 380.

Nearest I can find is this mention of a thermo block kit half way down their 380 mod page:

2. Throttle Body Thermo Block Kit
The stock throttle body, being a fly by wire unit, is water heated. Fitment of a RPW thermo block gasket will reduce heat soak into the inlet manifold. This is recomended to be fitted with the matching inlet manifold thermo block as a package. This will provide reductions of approx 40% heat soak on the inlet manifold compared to stock setup.

The thermoblock kit reduces heat soak and this allows the engine to maintain maximun ignition timing with max throttle response. Average price fitted is around $175.00 for the thermo block gaskets..

The 380 mod page is at http://www.rpw.com.au/shop/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=202&Itemid=51

KJ.

It used to be on their website, I've had it for quite a while now.

Maybe they stopped doing them as a few people had CEL issues although I didn't. I know McHenry had real dramas with his & sent it back.

Maybe send them an email.

well ive sent them an email. now i play the waiting game.

They had issues with some cars throwing up the check engine light, so they have removed them from there site. To be honest i wouldnt give RPW 1 cent of my money and Dan theres other things that you could put your money towards that will yeild more power if that is what you are after.

i havent had any issues with rpw as of yet.

Give you a word of advice, back to back testing on the donkey engine with a stock but hiflowed 65mm TB and my bored out to nearly 71mm TB has showed that the bored out TB gave no noticable power increases at all and wasnt worth the effort it took.

As for RPW, you must like paying extra for there "repackaging" of items that can be bought for cheaper from elsewhere. Myself and another member on here have caught them out time and time again with the BS they spin BUT if your happy buying form them then dont let me turn you off ;)
