WTB: Velocity Sport Tuning 16V Over Bore Throttle Body

[gatorhator]

Ok you rare parts hoarders, I really need one of these. Please PM me with what you have.

As the title states. I am in need of an big bore throttle body for a 16V engine. Please send me an IM with price and condition and a picture if possible.

Due to several emails while my address was posted of - "hey I have one, please send payment via Western Union cause my Paypal account is messed up." Please PM me with what you may have and I will forward you my email address then.

Thanks

Jim

I don't know what this "over bore throttle body" is, but if you're looking for a large throttle body, www.bahnbrenner.com has mustang throttle bodies which are 3" in diameter.

I am trying to have as stock looking of an engine as possible so I am looking for the 16V throttle body that Velocity bored out. They also did a VR6 one but it doesn't look good on a 16V Scirocco 50mm intake, atleast to me it doesn't.

Somebody had to have one on the shelf they aren't using.

There is not that much of an improvement with the TB you seek to make it that important to your build. It is small and barely noticeable, and only at the very top-end, maybe. We had installed the one we had along with the intake cam mod, so it was prolly the cam we felt more than the TB. When you come upon one buy it, but I wouldn't be waiting for just that part. It is worth more in it's rarity as a part than what it is worth in what it actually does for the motor.

Stop bumping this thread! It's getting annoying! If you want a bigger throttle body get one from an Audi 5000 or something! No one sells this velocity crap your looking for and if it was actually a decent product it would probably still be in production. Give up and stop hogging the forum up with a wanted ad that you posted in the wrong forum to begin with

It'll do no good as he has TWO in the classifieds that he bumps at the same time so they are right there together. I suppose if you miss the first one, the very next post will catch your eye.

As I have already told him, the performance bump is hardly worth it and the rarity would be nice, but not really needed as only a few people will have any idea what it actually is, or was.

Agreed it's in the wrong forum, but there's a better chance someone in here will have one then in the standard Mk2 classifieds.

And you don't know what you're talking about regarding the product. It was a very neat piece, made in small quantities by a good company that is no longer in business.

[gatorhator]

Thanks for backing me up and the bump

[gatorhator]

Still looking for one.

I owned a Velocity TB over a decade ago..and it was rare then.

It was tested by European car and made about 3hp. You won't win any races just because of it. If you are chasing a #, it will help.. but they weren't cheap, even back then.

For what it is worth, a good machine shop can make you one. It isn't brain surgery.


I had a TB for my R32 bored to 80mm by a local machine shop 5 years ago.

Seriously.. just take a TB to a machine shop and tell them to bore it and make a bigger plate.

You can have it done to whatever mm you want. More than likely this will cost the same or less than what a hoarder will want for a 'velocity' part anyway.. and you will have it faster.

[gatorhator]

Still looking. After several visits to different machine shops I have one that is going to try. Apparently it is a pain?? to machine due to 2 chambers and the butterflies won't be round when machined.

Help a fellow dubber out.

[ps2375]

If they aren't round, they are doing something wrong.

[redGTInj]

they are not technically "round"

[ps2375]

Yup, I forgot about the angle of the butterfly.

[gatorhator]

Still looking

[PowerDubs]

Well, I can give you the contact info for the machine shop I used. You can ship it to them.

Just be aware, I paid $400 for the machine work to the R32 TB and that was several years ago.

You won't see enough gain to justify the $$$ IMO...as again the Velocity TB only made about 3hp max.

And wasn't the Velocity TB around $350-ish, plus exchange when they were doing them Josh? If you aren't sitting on a motor that dyno's at 198whp everyday (which you aren't ) and you absolutely have to break 200whp and there's nothing left to do, fo'get'a'bout'it!!

[gatorhator]

I am just trying to get as many HP as possible. I just missed a fully bored out TB on Ebay Germany due to it not accepting my bid in the US.

I am wanting this for an engine thats head it 3 angle port and polished with Shrick 267/276 cams and springs. The block has been squared and blue printed with 83.5 pistons, knife edged crank. With a 16V Scirocco 50mm intake that has been ported to matched the head. With TT race header and Jetex 2.5” All Stainless Euro Exhaust System.

This is all going in my mk1 GTI that has been frame off and upgraded in every way I could and wanted to.

I have not dyno the engine but plan on it when my build is complete. I am just shooting for as close to 200HP as possible. Will I hit that, NO, but 185 range would be nice.

Choosing a good management and paying for someone good to tune it properly will make you a lot more power than the TB will. Just sayin'.
