who wants 2.3 TB adapter plates made?
Monday, July 17, 2006 6:57 PM
ok, for all you 2200 engine people, would you be interested in a 2.3L TB direct bolt on style adapter plate?


it will bolt on to your 2200 intake manifold, and you'll then bolt the 2.3 TB on to it, make use of all the mounting holes, so you have a perfect air tight seal!



and it will also double as a "intake spacer" which you all seen on ebay that retails for way over $100!!!


if you interested in one, post here,


also what is the ideal thickness for it? 1/2", 3/4" or 1"??

Why? the TB already bolts on after swapping arms? That and TB Spacers dont do swat on our cars....

the 2.3 already fits well, And if you want to reduce the noise, its not hard to just add some RTV gasket maker where the TB meets the intake manifold. Also a tb spacer does nothing to our cars other then limit the intakes you can use do to hood clearance. Especially if you use a strut bar as well. Also, if you do intend to continue and due actually produce them, your gonna need a to have a longer bolts as well, Such as the lower right bolt, since its shorter then the other 3.


Edited for spelling.


Oh, and according to the rules of the forum, you have to have your real name in your profile. Just warning you before you get randomly warned or banned by a picky mod.

well from what i've seen and heard in the posts here, there is only 2 bolts that hold on that TB, instead of 4 bolts. (or am i wrong?)

true, only 2 need to hold the 2.4 TB on, But with gasket sealer, ive had no problems. If i had to raise my intake about 1" it would hit the hood. But , i suggest that you talk with shifted, or wild weasel for info as well.

their is no 'adapter' needed...... just because the stock t/b was held on with 4, does not mean you need to have the 2.3 t/b held down with 4....... the t/b worked fine being held with 2 on the 2.3 intake, it will work fine on the 2.2 intake.
