Boring out the Throttle Body
Have just received a message from www.maxbore.com that he now works exclusively on throttle bodies, and does have time again to bore out the Jaguar ones.
I had done 1 AJ26 TB, which went from 75mm stock to about 80.50mm, and can recommend him for the work, and hope that he will also be very responsive now as he has focused solely on TBs.

There is no tuning required, though of course some porting on the intake elbow is required, but that’s a simple one. No drivability issues as well, I have gone even much further on my setup.

Our engines aren´t light fast revving ones, so that might be the reason why I haven´t noticed any of this twitchiness. Going from 75 to 80 is a small step from the idle point, although it does help of course high flow as it increases the airflow capacity about 13%.

The ECU is checking the positions (for idle) at ignition on, so small deviations will be adjusted for.

Besides allowing more air thru, the more vacuum you have in the intake, the more power is needed to turn the supercharger, resulting in less power to the wheels.
So I have no doubt it will have an good effect also on the M112 if you work on the full intake, But the costs for a 90mm TB and electronics doesn't make it worthwhile imho, your far better of then going the TS road in the 1st place.
The bore out is the cheapest method and should give some result in conjunction with a modified intake of course.

I just sent my TB to Maxbore and it was only a one day turnaround, so I can recommend him fully. 75-> 82.5mm

I have the Twin Screw with the 90mm throttle & the only problem we had was a few issues with the interface on a US spec car. That was over 2 years ago & only a small bump along the road. I would recomend to anyone who wants to modify their car to save their money & just do the Twin Screw. I tried them all along the way. It was all a waste of money.
AVOS has spent literally a thousand hours doing the R&D to make the best Jag TS adapter kit out there, so I can respect that he does not want to give away for free the hard won gains of his sweat and tears by revealing for free all his breakthroughs. The larger TB, as I understand it, was a source of endless problems, but has now been fixed.

I see you are the only one in the USA that has the twin screw.
What numbers has your car pulled down on a dyno?
