  • taking off the throttle body

    Okay im trying to get off the throttle body off the festiva, to see if I can swap it onto my Bp engine, but I can't get it to budge.

    I took the 4 bolts out, is there another one hidden somewheres?

    The gasket will hold it on. Lifghtly tap it and it should come free. I'm pretty sure only 4 bolts hold it in.

      Why would you swap a B3 TB to a BP?

      I know the B3 TB looks like it would flow better compared to the B6 but people in this forum have been swapping the B6 tb with the bp, why go smaller? :?

        keep up

        We have been discussing my TPS problem from other threads, I just wanted to see if I could use it while I got my BP in because my engine came from a Auto which has a different TPS.

          What are you talking about when you say BP and TPS?
