How To: Jeep 60mm TB Mod for neon "uploaded pic's"

2.4tneon · Post by **2.4tneon** » Tue May 15, 2007 10:57 pm

these are 98' style jeep 6 cyl. "automatic" Throttle Bodies. here is my How To. hope you like it.

the top left is a manual TB, the top right is an auto TB and the bottom one is the jeep TB. notice the difference where the throttle cable attaches. if your using a manual TB you can use the jeeps IAC sensor, but if you using an auto TB then you have to modify it some. you have to pull and losen the sensor tip and put the jeeps sensor tip on your sensor. it might be hard but it will losen up.

this is the jeep TB close up

this is the manual TB close up

and this is the auto TB close up

this is the difference between the neons butterfly and the jeeps.

-first remove all the sensors from both TB's

-on the neon TB's you have a pin on the TPS sensor side that this off and then the center will slide out. heres a pic of it

-next is the hardest part you have to modify your neons throttle thing. (lol dont know what else to call it) you have to take an 1/8th inch off of this plastic spacer. here is a pic of an unmodified one next to a modified one

- next you have to widein the slot for the jeeps butterfly to fit into your throttle thing. heres a pic of a modified one next to an un modified one.

- you have to widein two of the holes to bolt the jeep TB to your stock manifold. here is a pick of a stock TB on the (RIGHT) and a modded TB on the (LEFT). i marked the part that needs to be cut in black marker.

-then you can put your throttle thing into the jeeps TB.

- after you do that you will notice that you will notice that it wont open and close freely you have to cut some of the TB so that the throttle thing clears the TB and moves freely. heres a pic of an unmodified one on the (BOTTOM) and a modified one on the (TOP).

herea another pic

-then put the jeeps butterfly in place and bolt it in.

-then bolt your sensors onto the jeeps TB. heres a pic of a modded manual TB.

and heres a pic of an automatic (LEFT) and a manual (RIGHT)

Can i have a 1gn.org sticker now?..

when are you going to upload the rest of the pics? How much did you have to cut off the tb to get it to open smoothly? What did you use?

Just bought one today for $45 and after taking it apart and cleaning it I realized it is not actually 60mm. Right after the throttle plate it narrows down to 55mm. No big deal though. Ill just take it to the drill press open that part up. Just thought Id let everyone know.

So how do you get the IAC to work because i tryed to install it but the sensor hits the runner in the intake manifold.

I noticed that problem when I modded one too, I'm looking to flip it around and extend the IAC wiring to make it work.

Also, how do you cover the stock IAC hole in the manifold? It looks like that you can't cover it completely with the Jeep TB.

I did this and it works fine.

I found a cone shaped piece of rubber at a hardware store and it fits great.

yes your correct.. very easy fix.. i plan on usinf this manifold and TB setup for good so, i layed a piece of ductape on the inside of the manifold and filled the hole to the top with JB weld and its smooth and hardens like a rock.. n i have a custom box intake manifold so i dont have clearence issues with the sensors so i didnt have to extend any wires..

I found a large vacuum cap in my tool box junk drawer that fit perfectly, so the whole is now filled, another issue I've come across is how do you get the Throttle cable to work, where would you bolt the bracket to make it work? Any pictures?
