what is the stock throtle body for the 2.2L Ecotec.
what is the recomended size to get it bored out to......is it even worth it?

and finnally, what about this one on ebay. is this any good, would that be the correct size for me to get. N/A right now although I am thinking of saving up for the GM supercharger for next spring.


I have one true love in my life...And my girlfriend sits next to me in it

are you asking what is the stock size of the throttle body? if so im pretty sure its 58mm maybe 56mm.

what is the recomended size to get it bored out to......is it even worth it?

i wouldnt go more than 62mm. some people think its worth it some dont. All depends on what mods you have. If you havent finished your exhuast as in header, high flow cat, muffler and either a wai or cai then you really wont notice much a difference because your air flow is still restricted. now if you have those mods dont then i say do for it. Oh also i didnt see maybe i just missed it but your going to need a bigger plate for the throttle body to match up with the new bored out throttle body.

and finnally, what about this one on ebay. is this any good, would that be the correct size for me to get. N/A right now although I am thinking of saving up for the GM supercharger for next spring.


well the price isnt that bad but you can get one for close to the same price on other sites. RSM's tb is a little more i do know that but it all depends out what kind of quality you want. you get what you pay for. good luck with whatever you decide to do and hope this helps

It's defenitely worth getting if you're planning on going boosted.

I'm not sure if I trust buying a TB off ebay...having a properly made butterfly is important. If I were you, I'd buy one from RSM Racing which is more repuatable.

If you want more information on the ECOTECs, I wrote up a thread for where to get parts & what is available, The Full ECOTEC Build Guide. It also lists Part Numbers and Prices for most parts. I hope this helps you out.
