Which screw?

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (cbehage @ Feb 15 2006, 11:18 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}></div><div class='quotemain'>If you tighten the bolt next to the rotors, It will stop it from closing all the way, hence not sticking.

It is closing too far if it is doing that. Like / insted of I

Just turn the bolt 1/4 turn and it shoud solve your prob</div>
All that's going to do is adjust the tension on the pulleys, I don't see how that is going to affect the butterfly..

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (Patreezy @ Feb 16 2006, 02:02 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}></div><div class='quotemain'>I took apart my r-side BBTB and if you look at the edges of the butterfly valve it shows that the valve itself is SUPPOSED to close like / instead of straight up and down.. the outer edges are shaved at an angle so that when the valve is like / it makes an airtight chamber.

If your butterfly is closing straight up and down, you probably have indents in your TB from the metal cutting into the inside walls of the TB. And probably lookes like little groves where the butterfly valve closes...

Fix it so the butterfly valve shuts like / and not stright up and down and you should be fine.
Carb Cleaner works good too (if you have the throttle bosy off the car).</div>
wtf.gif
I don't get what you're saying at all, the butterfly closes straight up last I looked..

Just clean it all up good. Clean the inside of your TB and get a catch can. Make sure there is SOME sort of lubricant on the bearings/bushing areas.</div>
I don't think this issue is related at all to oil getting in the TB, though a catch can is nice to have, since nobody wants oil getting into the IM. And cleaning it is pretty much useless unless a catch can is installed, wouldn't you say?



I don't think if most of you understand why it sticks, it doesn't just stick, it only sticks if you're at say WOT, and let off the gas pedal INSTANTLY, so that the butterfly *slams* back into place. If you ease off the gas really slowly, it won't stick at all (but who drives like that?)

 

the edges on my rside bbtb werent angled at all.

zoned, do what i did above and it will come out perfect. you're really not hacking anything up, just abrasive cleaning....lol.

 

I bought 01roller's bbtb/airram, and he told me that he got it to not stick by just adjusting the cruise/throttle cables...I just don't see how that would work either...?

So you sanded all the edges of the butterfly? or what? I just don't want to f*ck up...lol.
thanks.

 

go around the edge of the circle butterfly valve. the part that touches the bore when closed. make sure you take it out first though.

he probably just adjusted the idle bolt so that the b.v. wouldnt close all the way.

 

nope, cus the idle bolt is broken off.
LOL

That's it exactly.

However, I think I have a problem. THE problem, as it were.



Am I supposed to have a screw here? It looks like there is a bit of metal behind that a screw could hit to adjust how far the butterfly can close.
