3.7 port and mild polish?

[WSP Jeep]

Anyone had their 3.7 throttle body ported and polished by Flyin Ryan? How were the results? Thanks

[FlyinRyan]

WSP, I haven't done any 3.7s yet. BPOD has been coordinating with me about doing his, I *should* be recieving payment from him next week.

The 3.7s are similiar in design to the 4.7...the 4.7s react very well to the ported TB.

If theres any questions or concerns, please post up, and I'll do my best to answer.

Would gas milage take a hit or improve? Thanks

[jeeppro]

yes everything will its a must buy

[WSP Jeep]

Ya im going to send my TB in next month no matter what, but im just trying to get an idea of the results. Ryan said he has yet to port and polish a 3.7, but he may be doing one for another member shortly.

[FlyinRyan]

Would gas milage take a hit or improve? Thanks

I make no gaurantees on gas mileage, because it's highly dependent on the customer's right foot, however in the results I have seen thus far, in mixed driving the average difference has been a 1 MPG increase.

I have responded to your latest PM.

[WSP Jeep]

Cool sounds good, thanks for the quick response.

I cant speak on behalf of the 3.7 but on my 5.7 made a nice difference from Ryan's porting.

[B.P.O.D]

[WSP Jeep]

BPOD, did you ever get your TB port and polished?

[TimmyB]

How much is it to do?

[TimmyB]

It doesnt have to machined perfectly? Is porting a TB is it the same as boring out cylinders, just enlarging the opening basically. I think with a Dremel there would be imperfections all along the insides. I've seen a drill press attachment that has all these balls on the ends thats used for honing cylinders, would that work?

[mzh29]

I used my variable speed bosch drill and a bunch of different attachments. It has taken a really long time, whenever i had some time to kill I just popped it off and started grinding away. It's getting there.

[B.P.O.D]

review will be in next week due to chitty weather over the weekend:(

Are you serious? I need to do some research now into this. I have never taken my TB or now what it looks like in there, or what exactly boring it out is supposed to end up like. As in I would think it has to PERFECTLY round in there.

So is the concept just to make it larger in diameter in there? If you have done it with a simple drill I was thinking I could set my drill in my vise and work the TB around the bit. Or just take it to the machine shop my work uses where the guy loves me and tell him to just make it bigger? Im sure he would do it for free with all the business we give him. Whenever I go drop or pickup stuff there he insists on showing me his latest projects, he just showed me how he is machining parts that go on the Raptor jet fighter for the Air Force. He said he has no idea where it goes or what it does, because the military just sends him drawings and specs of simple pieces to make by the hundreds then when they get them they piece everything together from various outsources.

[B.P.O.D]

i'll take pics of mine when i get it from ryan this weekend:)

Yup it's super easy to take off. Just three bolts and two cables. Just make sure you don't bore out too much where the throttle plate is or you'll create a bunch of issues.

[Micallef]

let us know how this goes Irfan i am prob gonna end up doing this sometime soon if all goes well!

[B.P.O.D]

indeed guys. weather was bad and we couldnt meet up over the weekend. i'll let you know as soon as i get this tb installed

[FlyinRyan]

Just a quick update....Sorry fellas, been away from the site due to my hectic work schedule. Irfan has his TB now. He hasn't installed it yet. I am hoping he can install it and write up a review or at least some impressions by Monday. I'll be seeing him on Sunday, hopefully with his Jeep and we will see what he has to say at that time.

[iJeep]

Cool, I'll be there on Sunday. Even if Irf didn't have the time to install it, he could bring the TB so we can see it.. Maybe? Can't wait to see it either way.

[B.P.O.D]

ok guys tb is in hand and will be installed hopefully today or the next 2 days...

[DJ BoNiOmArIo]

man about time been like 584735982375 months since you said you were going to get it done lol

[B.P.O.D]

lolol i know:(

[DJ BoNiOmArIo]

just busting ur chops Irf ... let us know how it turns out

[B.P.O.D]

yeah def bro i will!

[TimmyB]

Well???????

[HEMIBeast]

Seriously..... Any updates?

[DJ BoNiOmArIo]

Irf will take forever just like how he let his cold air intake sit in the basement for 2 weeks before installing it ... If I was to send in my TB to Ryan right now, I would get mine back and post a review while we wait on IRF lol :)

[TimmyB]

I just grew a full beard waiting for this review.

[FlyinRyan]

I'm trying to get Irf to get off his a$$ and get it done....I know he's off for the next several days. He wanted me to do it but with my limited availability between work and having to borrow vehicles whilst my Jeep sits at the dealership, I am unable to do so.

[Frankie]

Get on it IRF! Took me less than 10min to install mine! LOL

[White WK Swagga]

Word. Leave it to someone who drives a brilliant black jeep..... Man I swear.... LOL

[TimmyB]

I dont get it, whenever I get something new for my Jeep im so impatient and install it right away.

[FlyinRyan]

Same here. Cmon Irf. Your 3.7 brethren are waiting LOL

[iJeep]

Yes Irf do it already..

[Chuck]

HEHEHE.. Maybe he's busy working around viruses on his PC.. LOL.. For more free time. GET A MAC!! :lol::lol::lol::lol:

LMAO :lol:, I was waiting for that.

[FlyinRyan]

Just got off the phone with Irf. He is getting ready to install it right now. Hopefully he doesn't break or blow anything up in the process. :D

[DJ BoNiOmArIo]

[B.P.O.D]

helllloooo ladies sorry for the delay... i didn't have the ct torx bits so when i got them it was getting dark and cold. it's been in the 20s the last few days and i havent had a "chance" to go out there and get it done:( i will 100% guarantee that i will have it done within the next 3 days... sorry for the delay... been hectic around here

[White WK Swagga]

OMG Irf WTF? LOL

[FlyinRyan]

Good thing nobody in this thread held their breath! :lol:

[B.P.O.D]

hehehe bro its 20something deg outside:) it's cold and its dark when i get out of work.... im hoping to stop by mario's in the next few days and get it done

[White WK Swagga]

That's your best bet....

[B.P.O.D]

yeah that way we can not freeze our fingers off. hopefully within the next day or so:)

[White WK Swagga]

Well my new widowed cougar GF had a heated 7 car garage if you wanna use it too Irf...


LOL I wish...

[TimmyB]

^^^ do tell, new widowed cougar GF? lol

[TimmyB]

And you didnt install it yet??? Im sorry but I was outside sunday right after the big snow storm under my car fixing my exhaust cuz one of the resinators decided to drop down and the tips were rubbing. I was under there for an hour in my snow covered driveway with the car jacked up on stands in my ski suit no gloves. If you let your car run awhile working in the engine compartment wont be bad, would be toasty warm from the heat. 2 years back I changed out my fuel pump in my 94 GC during a snow storm, took me over 5 hours to do with dropping the gas tank, rusted bolts, snow and freezing temps. Come on bro, Man up and get that part installed.....

[B.P.O.D]

hehehe im hopefully going to mario's garage tom night(wed) to get it done.... so yes it will be done today actually since its past midnight:)

First off I am 1/2 black so I don't do cold. My ancestors are from Africa and this isn't the same climate as Africa thank you very much. LOL But all joks aside I F*cking hate the cold. I can do heat and humidity everyday over being cold.

[Chaoul1]

Now Irf remember we needs pictures please!!! A lot of them!!!

[FlyinRyan]

hehehe im hopefully going to mario's garage tom night(wed) to get it done.... so yes it will be done today actually since its past midnight:)

I'll translate:

"hehehe I will think about doing it tonight but think about Iphones and the ride I took in Ryan's sweet 4.7 WJ so in other words maybe next month hehehe thanks guys!"

:lol:

[White WK Swagga]

^^^ Sound's more like it. LOL

LOL.....I think Im half black too! Me and the cold dont mix well.....and my ancestry is Norwegian/german.,.....LOL

[White WK Swagga]

Wow Scott, Your ancestors are from where snow and Ice was created. LOL

[B.P.O.D]

Now Irf remember we needs pictures please!!! A lot of them!!!

don't worry bro full write up for the 3.7 will follow!!!

I'll translate:

:lol:


HAHAHA EMA!!!!!

[TimmyB]

I hate the cold too, to the point I want to move out of new england to Cali. But i've learned to dress accordingly and invested in a nice carhartt suit where I can stay outside in a blizzard and actually sweat in it from being so warm. Real men dont say "its too cold to go outside", hmmmmm

[FlyinRyan]

OK, I have an update.

Irf was not able to install the throttle body. Unbeknownst to me, in 2007 the 3.7s became fly by wire, just like the Hemis. The throttle body he has is for a 05-06. I'm embarassed as this is my fault for not being aware of this change. Irf will be taken care of accordingly, and he'll be getting a ported 07+ TB immediately. I apologize to everyone that has been anxiously waiting for a review about this TB.

The TB he currently has will work in a 05-06 3.7 WK. If any of you are interested in it, please let me know.

[TimmyB]

PM sent. Dibs.....

[TimmyB]

Its now 3 months after the first post on this thread, my goodness. By now I could of taken off my TB and licked the inside of it to bore it out.

[FlyinRyan]

LOL. The buyer is picking it up tomorrow supposedly....and he's known to install a little faster than Irf. ;)

[TimmyB]

^^^Sweet, waiting on the review then to see the performance gains. See if its worth it.

[B.P.O.D]

yeah so buyer is meeting me today and has sent the payment already, hopefully we have time to install it today... i know he needs help bc he's a mac user:) lolol

[FlyinRyan]

Mac user and Irfan. ......God help us

[06RC22]

wow this wait is killin me!!!! i want to know if it is worth it or not!

[B.P.O.D]

i'm sure it will be worth it. the TB is leaving my house today to go to the new owner. how long he takes to install it is off my hands:)

it took me 10 mins to get to the TB last night. doesn't take long, putting the air res box back on was a pia. you def need a 10-12" extension bar, 3/8 or smaller 1/2 will be too big to reach the torque bolts

[06RC22]

so okay I have a random question... would having a ported and polished TB be pointless if I have yet to purchase my K&N intake?

[B.P.O.D]

dude check out my other thread i created... k+n for $182!!!!! posted this 2-3 months ago!!!


I would get the TB right now, you can get the tb for a good price and ryan is currently porting. you can get the intake added on whenever you can.

i would also remove the air res(our 3.7's have the air res and it really quiets the motor!)

So i went to both of those sites and I cant find one of the intakes for under $300. Maybe im not looking in the right place. If i could get one for 180 bucks I would get it in a second!

[B.P.O.D]

ok let me check it out for you... give me a few mins

[TimmyB]

Make your own intake. Matt made a great one from PVC tubing.

[White WK Swagga]

I think I'm going to try that this spring.... :thumbsup:

[Scottina06]

try airram.com(vendor here) They have the best prices I have seen on K&N intakes. If thye dont have the best price....thye will match it and ship for free.

[FlyinRyan]

Eh, if you're gonna use PVC , try not to use PVC bends but instead sillicone couplers. I am using a PVC intake that I made 4 years ago, but in the process of either shopping for a new one or at minimum new parts to make another one out of as it looks ghetto and is embarassing when the hood is up.

Another option is to cover the whole thing in some sort of heat wrap/cool tape.

[Scottina06]

I have a red 90 degree 4" $80 silicone elbow if anyone wants it...just pay shipping

[White WK Swagga]

Will it fit a 3.7 Scott? And is it made for an intake or just a generic elbow.

[FlyinRyan]

4" is WAY too big for a 3.7....

I suppose if you wanted to make your own intake and then run a 4" into a 3.5 or smaller adapter to connect it to the TB, you could...

I don't recall the OD of the 3.7 TB. I think it is 3". I know for a fact that the 4.7's are 3.25"

I believe I'm gonna be building a 4" intake, so I might take you up on that on Scott. Assuming it applies to me too. :lol:

[White WK Swagga]

K Thx Ryan!!

[Scottina06]

of course Ryan

[FlyinRyan]

of course Ryan

On second thought I may not need it after all....if I end up needing it I will let you know

[Scottina06]

ok

[TimmyB]

In the Jeggs catalog I have they sell metal, looks like SS or polished anyways, straight pipes and different elbows to make your own intake. The prices are really good, if I were to do one I would prob buy from there. I went onto there web site but its different from the catalog I have. I already WASTED my money on this K&N CAI, the only thing I would do to it now is buy a different cone filter that has the top middle open as well for more air flow and then built a duct from the lower bumper opening to that new filter acting as a "ram air" set-up I see they sell for mustangs. Ram that air into the motor, lol.
