We are extremely proud of our 100% brand-new, high-quality, street-legal, GoWesty-designed billet aluminum Throttle Valve Housing (aka Throttle Body) designed specifically for use with our GoWesty Fuel Injection Replacement Kit.
If you are looking for a new throttle body for your original Bosch EFI, check out our GVW-TB-DF-N version of this item.
Features:
• New anodized billet aluminum throttle valve housing.
• New anodized aluminum throttle plate.
• Completely sealed throttle shaft design. No shims.
• Double-sealed, stainless ball bearings locate the throttle shaft rotationally. No bushings to wear out.
• O-ring between shaft and bearing. O-ring between bearing and housing.
• All new hardware.
• Pre-adjusted throttle position switch (TPS).
• Emissions legal in all 50 States - See Emissions Information below!
• 100% USA designed and manufactured.
This throttle valve housing is guaranteed to be compatible only with the GoWesty Fuel Injection Replacement Kit (GW-EFI). It is fitted with a widely available TPS sensor (Bosch part number 0-280-122-014 or equivalent) that can be made to work with other aftermarket EFI systems, but we do not offer any support for any application other than with our GW-EFI kit. It is NOT compatible with the original Bosch Digifant/Digijet EFI systems. If you are ready to replace your antiquated, obsolete, and problematic Bosch system with a modern and reliable fuel injection system, our GW-EFI kit is the answer!
EMISSIONS INFORMATION: GoWesty throttle bodies have received an official California Air Resources Board (CARB) Executive Order #D-786-1, and is smog-legal in all 50 states.
The thirty-plus-year-old throttle valve housings on all Vanagons are all just plain worn out. One of the main issue with the original design throttle shaft rides directly on the housing: no bearings, no snap rings, no nothing. Over time the throttle shaft bores ovalize, and the downward force of the throttle shaft assembly causes the throttle plate to come into contact with the housing, and the resulting wear creates all sorts of issues, particularly at idle and at wide open throttle.
This GoWesty-designed throttle valve housing eliminates all of these problems. The throttle housing is completely replaced with a much more stable and sturdy design made out of solid billet and CNC machined into shape. The throttle shaft is supported by sealed ball bearings and located via snap rings, which hold the shaft firmly in place and eliminate 100% of the wear problem. Each throttle position switch and throttle plate stop has been pre-adjusted in-house during assembly: no further adjustment necessary, forever!
