Pwrtune throttle body plate

[highpocket74]

Over the past week my father-in-law and I installed these throttle body plates in our talons.
With the OEM parts out I compared measurements and got a 0.10” increase in diameter over OEM.
You’ll see in the photos below the increase is on the throttle body side where the plate is bored to match the throttle body bore. Look at the inside notch area.

Overall I’d say the throttle response is better. The Talon feels like it revs quicker and runs smoother. Pwrtune told me 2-4 HP increase which is not much but if you plan on other modifications, it’s still power you won’t get anywhere else.
Nice finish on the machined aluminum too.

We waited a long time before purchasing and installing while adding other accessories. We also found that the boots on my 2019 X and his 2021 X LV were not fully tightened onto the OEM plate. They were not going to fall off but not tight either.

Want even more power on the cheap? You can send the TB out to a company called MaxBore in Florida and have it bored. It's less than $200 to have it done, including new oversize throttle plates, and his turnaround is fast.


BTW..... Andy at PwrTune and his products kick ass. I hurt some feelings last year at the track with a stock motor that had the PwrTune intake, his Talon tunes and an HMF exhaust.

What would this do for it?
Noticeable difference?

I really don't want to get into cam'ing the thing.

Mo Powa! It's very noticeable... I picked up a couple tenths at the track last year after having that TB mod done.

Great information. Thanks HighPocket74 for sharing. I love the idea of moving from rubber to metal throttle body plates. Especially if you are planning to add a S&B Particle separator (added air pressure?). Not sure, but seems to me if you would add a gasket it would make a better seal when you attach your hoses. Again, not sure about this so you might have to experiment. Again, great idea.
