Default Throttle body

Does anyone make a larger throttle body for our cars?

use the search it has been dicussed, but.....

our throttle bodies are already at max flow for our 1.5's. If you find the previous discussion, you'll find the formula that you need to use. It works out that a bigger TB won't do much. You best hope would be to ask on the Echo forums where they can lead you to a polished TB that helps a little.

I'll do a search and see if I can find the thread if you need.

Even though the link to the echodrivers forum didn't work, you can run a search there. A guy over there spent countless hours polishing and reworking his stock throttle body. Then having it ceramic coated. In the end, based on flow numbers he figures it was good for maybe 2 hp. And that was just an estimate. No proof on a dyno.
