I'm building a megasquirted 2270 and would like to get my D-jet 2.0 throttle body opened up to 50mm. Where can I get this done for a decent price?
Thanks, Dean |

Dean,
Call HPH in Redwood City. He had some on the shelf the last time I checked. He will do an exchange with you (if he has them) 650-364-6234 B |

I have an unmodified 1.7 . Would it increase power any and/or cause any problems to bore out the throttle body? It seems to me that is the most restrictive passageway in the intake system.
Any thoughts about this? |

Now, if you was running 2.0L heads and a different cam with some HD springs maybe that would free up 1 hp or 2.... Geoff |
