I am looking for a silicone coupler that fits our egg shaped throttle body. It will need to fit that, then a 2.5 or 3" tube on the other end. Do these even exist? I double checked beforehand to make sure the e30 intake I am using was the same as the e36's throttle body. | | | 04-05-2013, 07:12 PM | #2 | Senior Member Join Date: Dec 2007 Location: Gulfport, Florida Posts: 3,208 | The throttle nody is 5 1/2 inch in the egg shape.

I still should come in well under budget though as is, I just want to leave room for a burned chip if I end up needing one. If what I'm doing works, I won't need one. | | | | Currently Active Users Viewing This Thread: 1 (0 members and 1 guests) | | Posting Rules | You may not post new threads You may not post replies You may not post attachments You may not edit your posts HTML code is Off | | | |
