blox 76mm vs 90mm ebay throttle body
Need some help with a decession.
Im at a cross road where I'm going do to some TB and manifold work.
So I found a local seller selling a blox throttle body for 200 I ask him if he would sell for 150.
He said "not right now"
so I said let me know by the end of the night and I will buy right away.
He did not let me know so I bought the cheap ebay throttle body.
Now he says he will sell for 150 witch I think is a great deal.
because sensors will pop right on,it will bolt right on,and even the cable should fit or need only slight mod.
The ebay one needs everything moded,all sensors,the manifold itself,a gasket and most likely the cable wheel too and will end up costing me a bunch to install.
Should I buy the blox too and then make a decession when I have both witch one to sell ?
I would hate to let a nice fitting one pass for a crazy job.

Even the 90mm ebay one I think only has about a 80mm blade I think they are rated by the od of the bore not the bore/blade it self.
Not sure if the blox 76 is rated by the bore/blade or the od.
Heard that.
I've been trying to get a hold of him for a while.
If he don't return a message I think I'm going to buy some intake piping instead.

ICAV is not needed.
Idle may be a little higher or a little lower with weather or engine temp.
Or you can do some moding and mount it anywhere to use a icav. It does not have to be mounted on the throttle body.
Not really a big issue.
I'm not looking for a caddilac,I'm looking to go faster.
The blox would be the easyiest to pop on to have a bigger TB.
