Q45 Throttlebody

[88silhouette]

gday guys

waiting for my mate to drop my digital camera back

in meantime, ive gotten a q45 t/b by mail

when the butterfly is fully closed, should it be perpendicular (90degrees) with the tunnel inside the t/b, or on an angle??

i know that may sound hard to get your head around.

the one i have, the butterflky when fully shut is on an angle. i want to know if this is correct or not

cheers, mark

How much of an angle? It should seal, the butterfly is not actually round, it is a very slight oval with machined edges at a slight angle so that when it is closed, it does not stick and can open easily.

Also some of them have some type of weired wax pellet idel control i think, well mine had something weired on it for idel control, so that could be holding it open if it isnt fully closed.

f**k it, ill justwait to get photos and post up

"the butterfly is not actually round, it is a very slight oval with machined edges at a slight angle so that when it is closed, it does not stick and can open easily."

after reading that, definitely makes sense that it looks the way it does

im worrying about nothing

if it seals then there is no problem.

is this a simple upgrade for power?

How hard is this to do? simply take of the throttle body and bolt this one on?
