Looking for a new throttle body

You wouldn't be able to get throttle bodies, would you? If so, how much?

I've seen nothing from Accufab for the Evo or any other import for that matter, please post if you have any info on it. The only one I've seen is from Works pictured here.

I think people use a 75mm Accufab throttle body made originally for Mustangs? (I could be making this up). They use it with aftermarket intake manifolds designed to take an Accufab (e.g. the BJ's manifold). There is typically some work required to connect the throttle cable securely.

Apparently the Sparco Evo uses a Tomei throttle body (as listed in the tech specs in one of the many articles that have been written about this beast recently). I have no idea if it was a custom piece or if it would even be available to the general public.

FYI.

Actually, we only ran the Tomei one time. We tried running it with the Magnus Intake at the SCC Ultimate Street Car Challenge, but had a problem with the intake which caused the car to run like *&%$@ during the SCC USCC. We couldn't figure out the problem during the USCC but when we got back, we removed the intake and Tomei throttle body and it runs great, again. We're probably going to try the HKS Kansai intake with the Tomei throttle body, after SEMA.
