accidently won a 75mm mac TB...

[RysRed96GT]

is my car going to blow up?

i should've done research before bidding recklessly. i keep seeing horror stories of idle problems with these. is this the same for the 75mm?

btw, i THINK it's a mac throttle body. it looks like the one on their site.

what should i do? should i risk it for 90 bucks or refuse it and take the negative feedback?

I didn't have a prob with my 75mm tb from mac, got it from partshopper though (golden touch, doesn't go bad)

try it and see how it goes. like you prolly ready from my posts about the 75mm tb, some people have problems, others its just fine.

I put a BBK 75 MM throttle body with a c&l plenom before KB, and had no idle problems what so ever just like stock....don't be scared!

 

[thomas91169]

this is about a MAC throttle body, not a BBK.

My bad thought 75 mm TB in general...

Ahh I hate accidental wins, although my accidents would probably be a bit more extreme now. For some reason recently I compulsively bid on mustangs on ebay... I'm afraid one of these days I'll get an email saying that I won a car.

i just got an email back from the seller. he said it's manufactured by CNR in china. said they manufacture for alot of american companies. this sound right to you guys?

dosent hurt to give it a try

I agree with this guy. You don't want to screw up your reputation on ebay, its a great source for speed parts!

 

[RysRed96GT]

has anyone heard of CNR though, or what other names they might be called here?

 

[timeless2]

They aren't that bad.

Maybe URP, I know they get asian parts and claim to make them here.

I bought a MAC 75mm tb (new) for ~$225.00. It was crap. It had poor machining. I sold it for $100.00 within a month (shipping included). Took the lose (sp?) and bought a Accufab for $325.00. My MAC tb sucked bad.

Just my $0.02...

i'll bump it. anyone recognize this from the image above?
