I don't have an answer but do all "historic" vehicles in Cali have to be emmissions tested? I saw a show on SPEED about regulated hot rods in Cali and illegal shit and was like wtf?
PS: I live in Maryland and my 87 doesn't get emmission tests (historic tag DD)

Bored TB is worth it. I've done 3 of them on my Renix Jeeps. Did a TB spacer on a 5.9 Dodge. Took it back off.
www.strokedjeep.com has a really neat exchange program on bored throttle bodies with bigger throttle plates. They're no jut polished up TBs like you'll find elsewhere. Price is right, too.
I see no reason why you wouldn't pass a smog test.

The bored throttle body is a great mod, very noticeable, but like has been said the spacer not so much.

The spacer is just an over priced aluminum block with a big hole drilled through it.
You get no gains off it on a 4.0

A bored throttle body has nothing to do with tailpipe emissions. You're good.
TB spacers do nothing on fuel injected vehicles unless they are TBI's.
i'm looking to get a bored out throttle body, and do not see how they would mess with emissions. I don't care though because here in manitoba there is no such thing as emission tests!

It won't mess with it.
You can hurt emissions by messing with vacuum lines, exhaust systems, or sensors.
Increasing airflow through the TB is a non issue. Air is air, the velocity and volume is the only difference.

My wife and I DD 2 Jeeps. Both have bored TBs from www.strokedjeep.com.
Mileage is the same. Be aware, though, that mileage probably will decrease a bit when the TB is first installed as you will be playing around with the skinny pedal at first. After that, same old mileage.

Bored TB from strokedjeep.com here. Probably one of the best 90$ you will spend on your XJ. Only had mine installed for about a month, throttle response is better and seen a slight increase in mileage. I am also running some of the Ford Orange top 19lb injectors.
When you install make sure you adjust your TPS.

I put my stock one on a lathe and it's at 60mm and it works well with the K&N FIPK

That does help.
But, when you get one from www.stroked jeep.com , it comes with a 60mm butterfly as it is bored all the way through. 60mm flows alot more air than 52mm.

Stock is only 59mm tapered down to 55. So if you just did the bottom portion your not getting a full 60 out of it. I'm having mine redone by a friend with a lathe, we're bringing it out to 62 and making the new throttle plate as well should be pretty sweet and a lot cheaper than the $90 the Jeepstrokers guy is charging. He must be making a killing of these and that's cheap, a lot of places are charging at least double that for one.
