The bolt up patterns fairly similar between the two throttle bodies. gotta remove the old one from the falcon motor first and match it up against the template and if its close enough i will get the machinist from work machine up an adaptor plate. idle will be controlled by adaptronic and stock falcon IAC valve. more progress to come later

I have seen many heated throttle bodies, hell even ones on an 80 subie.

the reason

to stop possible icing conditions in the throttle body.

aircraft use them all the time

would it be worth it to do the old TB heater bypass?

don't get much frost around these parts ;)

Wtf are you up to now man! Ha ha

[daedalusjc]

lol all pretty easy. its a very close fit. not much machining required. then fit pedal, accelerator cable and mounts. theres an urgency now i've bought a td04. joy
