brianpaul98 Posted June 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 Argh, just pulled out my core parts to send you and it looks like I only have the intake manifold. I will need to find a whole TB assembly first.... No hurry this will be going on for a while. I'm just trying to get them done as time permits.

dmyers151 Posted June 19, 2012 Report Share Posted June 19, 2012 Did my box ever show up? I don't recall when it went out, but I'm pretty sure I could've hand delivered on foot by now, haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darnit, sorry about that. I thought I sent you a message but I guess I dropped the ball on that one. Yes your package is here and it arrived last week. I'll be getting a few more intakes from other members and want to have them all together so I can bore them out at the same time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmyers151 Posted June 19, 2012 Report Share Posted June 19, 2012 No worries, I'd forgotten actually. I was going through my wallet and found the shipping receipt which reminded me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianpaul98 Posted July 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2012 It's been a few weeks since I had a chance to work on anything due to family visiting and I just wanted to give everyone an update on the 52MM throttle body's. Today I finished up all the flaps and now it's just a matter of hand fitting everything together. Anyone who is just waiting on the 52mm without the whole setup let me know, I should have a few ready to go by the end of this week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brianpaul98 Posted August 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2012 I'm glad your happy with the 52mm TB and the rest of your parts should be arriving shortly. If you need anything else just let me know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianpaul98 Posted August 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2012 (edited) Hello everyone, I'm sorry for the delay's with the 52mm setups but dammit if life doesn't always get in the way. I have been able to really devote a good deal of time to these setups this past week and here are a few new pictures. HERE ARE 6 TB's ALL FINISHED UP AND READY TO GO http://i917.photobucket.com/albums/ad20/brianarnone2009/52MM%20Throttle%20Bodys/52MMTB1.jpg THESE ARE ABOUT HALF THE MIXER HOUSINGS I MACHINED OUT THAT ARE JUST WAITING ON TOUCH UP PORTING AND GLASS BEADING. BELOW IS WHAT IT WILL LOOK LIKE WHEN IT'S DONE. http://i917.photobucket.com/albums/ad20/brianarnone2009/52MM%20Throttle%20Bodys/52MMMixers.jpg HERE IS A COMPLETED MIXER HOUSING READY TO GO. THAT DIVIDER IS A LOT SHARPER THAN IT LOOKS. http://i917.photobucket.com/albums/ad20/brianarnone2009/52MM%20Throttle%20Bodys/52MMMixerComplete1.jpg IN THE PAST I WOULD KNIFE EDGE THE DIVIDER AND TAPER THE INLET BY HAND BUT THAT IS VERY LABOR INTENSIVE. I RECENTLY MADE A FIXTURE TO TAPER BORE THEM AND THEN KNIFE EDGE THE DIVIDER SO NOW IT TAKES LESS THAN HALF THE TIME AND GIVES MUCH BETTER RESULTS. http://i917.photobucket.com/albums/ad20/brianarnone2009/52MM%20Throttle%20Bodys/52MMMixerComplete2.jpg I'M ALSO THROWING IN SOME STAINLESS ALLEN SCREWS TO SPRUCE THINGS UP A BIT. IF YOU HAVE THE 52MM TB AND JUST WANT ONE OF THE MIXER HOUSINGS THEY ARE $50.00 PLUS SHIPPING. http://i917.photobucket.com/albums/ad20/brianarnone2009/52MM%20Throttle%20Bodys/52MMMixerComplete3.jpg I know they're not the prettiest pictures but I just wanted to let everyone see that the 52mm TB's are ready to go and the mixers are ready for the finish touch ups and then glass beading. I have all the intakes bored out and ready for the final blending and port work for those who wanted it. These setups will be ready to ship out within the next week so everyone who is ready let me know.

brianpaul98 Posted September 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2012 I have two 52mm TB's for sale. The first one has some pitting on the bottom where the coolant flows through. I don't know where this came from probably someone sent it in as a core somewhere along the line. Anyway it's perfectly usable and sort of an unseen ugly once it's bolted on. This will in no way affect the tb's ability to seal or hurt the performance of the unit. http://i917.photobucket.com/albums/ad20/brianarnone2009/52MM%20Throttle%20Bodys/52MM1.jpg http://i917.photobucket.com/albums/ad20/brianarnone2009/52MM%20Throttle%20Bodys/52MM2.jpg $125.00 plus shipping and Paypal to the first one who wants it The other 52mm TB is a pretty nice black powder coated unit that I got back in a parts lot from a certain turbo deal that went south. http://i917.photobucket.com/albums/ad20/brianarnone2009/52MM%20Throttle%20Bodys/52MMBlack1.jpg http://i917.photobucket.com/albums/ad20/brianarnone2009/52MM%20Throttle%20Bodys/52MMBlack2.jpg I'd like to get $140.00 plus shipping and Paypal for this part so I can recoup some of my losses. If anyone would like to make a package deal out of these just let me know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WBS87 Posted December 23, 2012 Report Share Posted December 23, 2012 Hi there, would you ship one of these to New Zealand please?

I would obviously have no exchange piece to offer. 52MM Throttle Body w/ New Stainless Knife Edged Throttle Flap and Milled Shaft - $125.00 ($20.00 Core Charge if we use our parts) Yes I can ship one to you and just add the $20.00 for the core charge so it would be $145.00. Would you need a 3 or 4 vacuum port TB? I can ship one to you in a USPS small flat rate box for $16.95 if I don't install the throttle linkage on it. Would you be able to install the linkage once it gets to you? Ok, let me know Brian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WBS87 Posted December 24, 2012 Report Share Posted December 24, 2012 Thanks Brian, I appreciate your prompt response. I'm sure we can fit the throttle linkage. ?t is a three vacuum port. Can I pay through Paypal? There is no rush just let me know when it will be available and how i will need to pay.Regards,Steve Mel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hello Steve, the linkage is very easy to re-install especially if you have your own TB to use as a guide. The only tricky part is winding the throttle return spring several times while holding the linkage together then get it on the shaft. I have 3 vacuum port TB's here and Paypal will be fine. I actually have a complete and ready to go 52mm TB here but what happened was I didn't notice a very small hair line crack near one of the ears that holds on the TPS unit. I guess one of my customers sent me a core that must have gotten bumped in shipping or somewhere during its life. It's not anything that I would consider critical as the small crack does not go all the way through, its just more cosmetic than anything. Once the TPS is bolted on you would never know it was there and it would not affect the operation / adjustment in any way. If you would like to see this one just send me your email address and I'll send you some close up pictures. I would also waive the $20.00 core charge on this unit since it has the defect. If you would rather a different TB that is also not a problem it will just take me a little time to put one together for you. Ok, let me know and have a Very Merry Christmas Brian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianpaul98 Posted December 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 25, 2012 I'd like to wish everyone a Very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. I'm sorry to say that the 52mm TB's I have been building may be the last I will be making due to new life circumstances. If you are on the fence about getting one done this may be the time to send in your parts. http://www.starquest...pic=134808&st=0 If there is anything you need let me know.

brianpaul98 Posted January 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2013 I have two more throttle body's for sale. They are both 4 vacuum port type which is nice if you are running a boost / vacuum gauge and BOV you don't need to T off the line. I'll be posting pictures later on this weekend. Get them while they last, I only have a few more left and won't be making more. $125.00 plus shipping and PP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianpaul98 Posted January 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 (edited) Here is the 52mm 4 port I have ready to go. I have one more I'm making the flap for and then it will also be available. http://i917.photobucket.com/albums/ad20/brianarnone2009/SQC%20Parts%20Blowout/52mm4port1_zps953dc643.jpg http://i917.photobucket.com/albums/ad20/brianarnone2009/SQC%20Parts%20Blowout/52mm4port2_zpsa0ad6479.jpg $125.00 Each I also have several full ported mixer housings left http://i917.photobucket.com/albums/ad20/brianarnone2009/52MM%20Throttle%20Bodys/52MMMixerComplete3.jpg http://i917.photobucket.com/albums/ad20/brianarnone2009/52MM%20Throttle%20Bodys/52MMMixerComplete2.jpg $45.00 each Digging through my mess I found two 52mm intakes that are bored out and just need to be finished up. This one was from a certain turbo guy who I got my parts back from. It's powder coated a silver color with some fuel and coolant staining. It may clean off it may not, I haven't got that far yet. Threads all look good, no porting that I can see. http://i917.photobucket.com/albums/ad20/brianarnone2009/52MM%20Throttle%20Bodys/DSC04311_zps6b677970.jpg http://i917.photobucket.com/albums/ad20/brianarnone2009/52MM%20Throttle%20Bodys/DSC04313_zpsda6d244a.jpg No Core Necessary - $125.00 This one is very clean with no stripped threads. It will be glass beaded and looking like new when its done. Some mild gasket matching was done. http://i917.photobucket.com/albums/ad20/brianarnone2009/52MM%20Throttle%20Bodys/DSC04309_zps5faf811b.jpg http://i917.photobucket.com/albums/ad20/brianarnone2009/52MM%20Throttle%20Bodys/DSC04306_zps83c69620.jpg No Core Necessary - $100.00 Edited January 10, 2013 by brianpaul98 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuze Posted January 10, 2013 Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 (edited) I have the full setup, guys pics don't do it justice. There's a ton of maunal labor in each part and it shows, Brian's an artist with this stuff. Everything maches up perfectly. Only once in a while do things like this come along that address one of the primary issues with making power in a Starion: the size of the TB and mixer. Big intercooler pipes don't matter with a tiny TB. Edited January 11, 2013 by Fuze Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
