Jas, Yes. It seems its only happening with the 102 but I did have my car do it with a ported ls3 back at 18 psi. We went to an Vette LS2 style tb and that solved the problem. Stronger motor, opened in the opposite direction. Then when the 102's came out, on my car is was worth like 25 rwhp so we wanted to make it work. On the dyno, during testing, the 102 slammed shut with the 3.2 pulley. So Ted tried the 3.4 and that seemed to work. But when I got it to the track a month ago it slammed shut almost instantly. Didn't matter how I launched or accelerated the car.

i,m glad your back jamie, if you did not show up ..this problem would of never came up...now i have 10 days to figure out what to do...how does nw sell a throttle body that is defective in making horsepower...only reason 1 would go to larger tb is to increase hp and it fails at doing that...has anyone called out nw on this????

So is the vette LS2 style a larger tb except that it open/shuts differently?

Well no. The vette ones are 90 or 92 mm. I don't remember exactly which it is.. Ted has involved another company to help develop a 102 mm TB that opens inward so it can't get slammed shut. Since early March we have been testing them. The first one I got on the car the car wouldn't even stay running!!! The track testing is complete and passed with fyling colors. As of last week we were still working out some of the fine tuning with cold engine start up. Everything else has also passed. I'm expecting to get the two that Ted re-engineered back very soon.

We've been dealing with this problem for a while now. Even back last spring, ('11). It seems to happen to cars really sucking the air in. I don't think the centri blowers have this problem. At least not to my knowing. I don't think NW had a solution. I could be wrong. I know his TB isn't on my car so what does that tell ya.

LPE always new the solution. They even told me after I sold the original one that it was a mistake selling it. As a matter of fact it was never an issue with the one they installed on my car or the one on thier black car. It wasn't until I upgraded to one of the new shiny ones that Nick came out with when I started to have problems. I believe I sold the original one that I got from LPE to shines. After I sold that one I called Nick Williams and had him make me one of the first type throttle bodies. Well he had all of the parts except for the motor and sensor so I just recently put this together and it works perfectly.

Paul, LPE has the solution to the NW 102 slamming shut? Is this something they can share? Or is the solution a different style TB? What I meant in my statement was that I didn't think anyone knew how to keep the NW 102 from doing this. The different style TB's def work.

This is something I will test as soon as I get my car out of paint,I hope the fix will be about $10 ill keep everyone posted

So when are you getting it back from paint?????:emoticon7: And just to clarify you will be testing this on a NW 102? So I'm assuming you are having the same issue?

It is the original NW 102. The one on the LPE LS9 car has never sucked shut and neither did my original one that I sold. Now I have another original style one and it does not suck shut either.

I never knew there was an original NW102. I'm just familar with the shiny one! Do you know what got changed between the two?

Waiting on parts. I hope in a week or so yes nw

[jrpxxii]

So why would nw not stay with the original design if the new one is defective as Im sure they have known about this for awhile?

The motor and the throttle positioning sensor were all combined into the shiny cover similar to the stock one on the new version. The old style has the black LS2 motor and a seperate tb positioning sensor. The new style motor and the old style motor can not be swapped.

Hmmmm?

Don't worry. We have you covered!!

[paul2010]

It will only work if you can get the old style from Nick then you can put the LS2 motor and sensor on it. I now have two one is a 105mm and the other is a 102mm both have the LS2 style motors and will not suck shut. I have Nicks number if you want it maybe he can scrounge up the parts to make a couple more.

Thank you very much Paul. That is what I have now. The older style ls2 tb motor with a 102mm body. Seems like we all got the same result taking different paths.


Thank you too Thomas. Please keep us updated and quit painting you freaking car. It looked sweet back at Pony Wars!!

I wouldn't say its defective,a few have reached its limit once this was discovered Nick started working on a solution. It works for 99% of guys ,its actually in the cars pcm,we have had the old style close on us as well but the new tb works great with the new holley pcm ,so is it the tb or the pcm? GM is working on a program to adjust the sensitivity in the pcm

We tried Nick's TB this winter but it slammed shut at 6000 rpm on the dyno. Talked with Tom and Nick about it but couldn't get past the problem. Went to the LPE 102 TB and had success at the big end but the car wouldn't idle properly. Graham had a few goes but no luck so we took it off and sent it back for them to look at. Ended up with the ported 90mm back on. For now it doesn't matter my trans is on the way to Ted for rebuild and converter. One thing is for sure, the maggie has lots left in it if someone can get more air in than the 90mm allows, anyone thats tried will attest to that I'm sure.

I thought the Maggie didn't have enough in her to post up any quick times!
