I pan on doing the TB Mod and porting the Black Elbow before the TB. How or what can I use to make It as clean as possible without hacking It?

 

That black plastic elbow? I wouldnt start grinding that up. Use JB Weld on the holes where the throttle plates were.

 

I just used a mini die-grinder to take out the lip on the inside corner. I did'nt notice any power increase though. CJ

 

There's no real point in porting that besides basic smoothing. I doubt there will be any measurable gains.

 

smoothing it wont matter because it still has to go through the TB.... there is absolutely NO point in doing this

I did it because I was bored....

Used a dremel, a sanding drum, and after I was done, I caught fire to it. Made it smooth as stock, without that lip. It may not have done anything... but who cares? It was 20 minutes of SOMETHING to do.

 

next time youve got 20 minutes......could you come wash my car please?

 

I can't see you getting any power gains out of it. That intake pipe is already bigger than any other one I can rembember seing on a car. It's even bigger than those aluminum pipes that cold air kits come with on honda's, isn't it?

 

J-B weld in the air flow area , what if it is sucked in to the motor ? The holes can be pluged from the out side with screws -bolts -plugs ect that can never get sucked in , Make the end of the screw ,bolt ect flush with the throttle bore with a die grinder . J B weld can work out , there is no question about that.

 

I couldn't have worded It better myself

 

An even if you port the TB it still has to go through the AFM
