When was the first BBK throttle body made?
In-fact since our first throttle body in 1988, our line of BBK throttle bodies now covers most auto & truck models making it by far the largest offering of performance throttle bodies in the world. Also, since that first day in 1988, each & every throttle body has been 100% designed & built in the USA.
What did throttle bodies do in the 1980’s?
Back in the 1980’s Detroit’s auto manufacturers were transforming all there engine platforms to direct port fuel injection which included an entire array of new components such as fuel injectors, air intakes, mass air sensors and throttle bodies.
What happens when there is a restriction on throttle body?
If a restriction like a small inefficient throttle body limits airflow into the engine, horsepower and torque will simply be limited. This is even more noticeable on a supercharged application as the supercharger cannot push in more air if it can’t get it through the throttle body or air intake due to a restriction.
Which is the best throttle body to buy?
Since those early days BBK has added new auto & truck applications each year now making our performance throttle body offerings the most popular and most comprehensive in the aftermarket.
Can a Honda throttle body be cleaned and reset?
This article pertains to Honda throttle body cleaning and a Honda throttle body reset. All electronic throttle bodies accumulate carbon buildup on the throttle plate and bore—the Honda throttle body is no exception.
Why did Honda change the throttle body for fuel injection?
When carmakers switched to fuel injection, the purpose of the throttle body change to operate more like an air valve, allowing more air into the intak manifold as you put the pedal to the metal. To provide air at idle, carmakers installed an idle air bypass valve that allowed air to flow around the closed throttle plate.
Can a bad throttle body cause high RPM idle?
High RPM Idle The throttle body controls the engine’s idle to make sure it is always holding a steady RPM. If there is a problem with the throttle body, it may cause the be way too high. A not calibrated throttle body can also cause this.
Is the throttle body dependent on other parts?
This is carried out electronically in electronic fuel injection engine systems. In most vehicles, there is only one throttle body, with a rare exception of special, larger vehicles. The function of the throttle body is also dependent on other parts, such as the air filter.
