  Ported & Powder Coated Throttle Body for 98-02 F-Body NEW HIGH FLOW PORTING
The Bauer Racing Engines ported and powder coated throttle body is machine ported and finished by hand. The throttle body comes from the factory with a lip that is used to reduce intake noise. This lip is the major restriction, we machine out the lip which is 70mm to match the size of the throttle plate which is 75mm.The opening in the upper left hand portion of the throttle body is filled with an industrial grade epoxy. The same epoxy is used in intake manifold porting and head porting. Filling this area in helps improve the flow of the throttle body. To achieve maximum throttle opening we have an adjustable throttle stop. This modification allows you to dial in your maximum throttle position on an Autotap and also prevents SES lights. The throttle shaft is sectioned and modified to improve flow. We have found that playing with the shaft does produce extra flow if done the right way. We have also found some extra flow in the throttle body itself and this is part of our new porting. The outside of the throttle body has the casting flash removed. It is then smoothed out and powder coated in the color of your choice. Then the boltholes are spot faced to provide better seating for the attaching bolts while also protecting the powder coated finish. The throttle body is then re-assembled with care. We replace the retainer on the end of the throttle shaft with a new stainless steel one. Then the throttle plate screws are put in place with Loc-tite.

  Ported & Powder Coated Throttle Body for C5 Corvette NEW HIGH FLOW PORTING

The Bauer Racing Engines ported and powder coated throttle body for the C5 Corvette is machine ported and finished by hand. The throttle body like the f-body throttle body has a lip that is used to reduce intake noise from the factory. This lip is bored out so the housing matches the 75mm diameter of the throttle plate. The edge left is then blended into a large smooth radius to increase airflow. We then fill in the PCV hole with epoxy, leaving just enough room for it to still operate while allowing the airflow to increase into the engine. This epoxy is an industrial grade epoxy that is used in intake manifolds and head porting to fill in areas to direct airflow to the most beneficial areas.
The throttle shaft is sectioned; we have found flow in this and some other porting to produce a higher flowing throttle body. For the powder coated versions we do extensive sanding and buffing work on the outer part of the housing to give you the professional finish you are looking for on your Corvette. The last step is to spot face the boltholes. This protects your powder coated finish and provides a flat surface for the bolts to achieve a maximum clamping force on the intake manifold. The throttle body is then re-assembled with care, re-lubing the gear set for the electric motor and placing Loc-Tite on the screws during reassembly. We replace the retainer on the end of the throttle shaft with a new stainless steel one. Then the throttle plate screws are put in place with Loc-Tite. Shipping back to you via UPS ground is included in the price.
C5 units need to do an idle relearn procedure. I have also had customers change some of the IAC settings to help the cold idle also. Please check with us about this and the compatibility with Granatelli aftermarket MAF sensors.

  Powder Coated Brakes
We offer powder coating of brake calipers, brackets and rotors.

The calipers are disassembled if not other wise shipped that way. The calipers and mounting brackets are smoothed out to remove the casting marks, this is done to give a show car like finish. Then the powder coat color of your choice is applied. Everything is test fitted to make sure that it will work properly. We suggest that you have a GM rebuild kit for the front calipers for final assembly. The parts are shipped back to you disassembled. We send them back disassembled with simple instructions on how to put them back together. This is done for liability reasons.

To powder coat the rotors they must be new or have zero rust on them. The rotor is powder coated everywhere except the face where the pad touches the rotor and the mounting surfaces. This is a good way to keep you brake rotors in a like new condition.
