the rare rare "racing" throttle body,ie; RXTB1 is for sale
<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/711/rxtb3.jpg"></center><p>
My RXSTB1 is complete and going on my car. This leaves RXTB1 without a home. Would cost upwards of $1200 to have one of these made. But I'm willing to let this one go for less than half price at $475 including shipping plus exchange for a 95.5 or later throttle body core. Compare that to buying an "S" throttle body for +/- $100 then having it converted to an SXTB for $310.
The SXTB flows at 707CFM and the RXTB non-S flows at 755CFM. The only throttle body that flows more is my RSXTB1 at 800+CFM.
Butterfly plate screws have been ground flush and diffuser reliefs ground into primary and secondary butterfly shafts. Inlet flange has been knife-edged so no step remains with S3 silicone hose or stock gasket. Up until the throttle body I just finished the RXTB1 was the highest-flowing TB I've ever created.
Price includes new gasket and shipping to lower 48.

Hey mance, query for you...
If we had the SXTB done buy you, could we make it perform "similar" (note that I know nothing we do could make it work out like yours... so this would NOT be classified as a DIY RSXTB =P) to your RSXTB by cutting that center wall out? Or is there more work in there besides just the center wall being removed internally...
Just curious. I got a STB sitting in my closet awaiting "monsterization"... but I've been curious about that.
Thanks,

Decisions . . . would be nice having that on my P&P intake manifold once I get it done. Will
also be going the ram air route shortly. Right now I have the S3 throttle body. I think a few of you guys upgraded from S3 throttle body to XTB / SXTB. What were your impressions? If I remember correctly S3 flows at 450CFM.
Well if I decide on this its off to the junk yard to find another throttle body and off to ebay with the S3!! Mance why can't you hold off on stuff like this for another 2 months! =)
