Default Wanna Get a Throttle Body...

I saw that Alphawerks makes 60 mm throttle bodies and I wuz wondering what size the stocker is and what else would need to be done when installing it, if anything. Will the ECU recognize it ar will it just run rich until I get it dyno'd?

55mm is the stock. Anyone know if a any v-6 solaras or camrys have bigger tb and it would work on ours. Are any of them drive by wire? I am guessing a lot of the 02-up camrys would have drive by wire since the tc has the same engine and its drive by wire.

For the price they charge for it, you'll probably be better off having a local machine shop port out the factory one. I know someone else on the forum here has that done ( although hes was free )

My guess would be that with only a 5mm difference you shouldnt need to worry about any extra tuning. You would probably pick up a bit of responce and a little bit more power as a result. A bigger TB is generally something you would want to add after most other bolt on mods though, as it will support their gains and make them more noticeable.
