Throttle Body ROADFAR Aluminum 52mm Flange for Chevrolet and Buick

Description

Product Overview

The ROADFAR throttle body is engineered to deliver reliable performance and durability for a wide range of modern vehicles. Constructed from high‑grade anodized aluminum, the body resists corrosion, heat, and wear, ensuring a long service life even under demanding driving conditions. The precise 52 mm flange inlet and outlet connections match original equipment specifications, providing a seamless fit that eliminates the need for additional adapters or modifications. With dimensions of 7.48 x 6.5 x 5.04 inches and a weight of just over two pounds, the unit balances robust construction with manageable handling for easy installation.

Designed to meet or exceed OE standards, this throttle body carries multiple OEM part numbers, including TB1217, S20191, 977‑359, 2173431, 55565489, 28075508, 55581662, 825016, and V40810016. This extensive compatibility ensures that the part can serve as a direct replacement for a variety of factory‑installed components, reducing the risk of fitment issues and simplifying the parts sourcing process. The electric mirror adjustment feature integrates smoothly with the vehicle’s electronic control system, allowing the throttle plate to respond accurately to accelerator pedal input, thereby optimizing the air‑fuel mixture for improved combustion efficiency.

Beyond its mechanical attributes, the ROADFAR throttle body contributes to overall engine performance by regulating the amount of air entering the intake manifold. A well‑designed throttle body maintains a consistent airflow pattern, minimizing turbulence and promoting a stable idle. This stability translates to smoother acceleration, better throttle response, and reduced emissions, all of which are critical factors for drivers seeking both performance and environmental responsibility. The unit’s OE‑compliant design also supports the vehicle’s onboard diagnostics, ensuring that any fault codes related to airflow are accurately reported and addressed.

Usage

The ROADFAR throttle body is ideal for owners of 2013‑2021 Buick Encore, 2011‑2015 Chevrolet Cruze, 2016 Chevrolet Cruze Limited, 2012‑2020 Chevrolet Sonic, and a broad range of other Chevrolet and Buick models. Whether you are performing a routine maintenance service, upgrading an aging component, or restoring a vehicle after an accident, this throttle body provides a reliable solution. Installation typically involves disconnecting the battery, removing the old throttle body, and bolting the new unit in place using the existing flange connections. The electric mirror adjustment system integrates with the vehicle’s throttle control module, requiring only a brief calibration step to synchronize the new hardware with the engine control unit (ECU).

In addition to standard road use, the throttle body performs well under high‑performance scenarios such as spirited driving, track days, or off‑road excursions where precise airflow control is essential. The anodized aluminum finish helps dissipate heat generated during prolonged high‑rpm operation, protecting internal components from thermal degradation. For fleet operators, the part’s durability reduces downtime and maintenance costs, while the OEM compatibility ensures that replacement parts are readily available through standard supply channels.

When installing the throttle body, it is recommended to use a torque wrench to achieve the manufacturer‑specified bolt tension, typically around 20‑25 Nm, to prevent leaks and ensure a secure seal. After installation, a brief engine run‑through allows the ECU to learn the new airflow characteristics, after which the vehicle will exhibit smoother idle, quicker throttle response, and improved fuel economy. Regular inspection of the throttle plate for carbon buildup and periodic cleaning with a non‑abrasive cleaner will further extend the life of the component.

FAQ

What vehicles are compatible with this throttle body?

The ROADFAR throttle body fits a variety of Chevrolet and Buick models, including 2013‑2021 Buick Encore, 2011‑2015 Chevrolet Cruze, 2016 Chevrolet Cruze Limited, 2012‑2020 Chevrolet Sonic, and many other vehicles that use the listed OEM part numbers. Always verify your specific year, make, and model using the part finder tool before purchase.

How does the anodized aluminum benefit my engine?

Anodized aluminum offers excellent resistance to corrosion, which is especially important in the engine bay where exposure to moisture and chemicals is common. The anodized surface also improves heat dissipation, helping to keep the throttle body cooler during high‑rpm operation, which in turn protects internal components and maintains consistent airflow performance.

Is the installation process difficult?

Installation is straightforward for anyone with basic mechanical skills. The process involves disconnecting the battery, removing the old throttle body, and bolting the new unit in place using the existing 52 mm flange connections. A brief calibration with the vehicle’s ECU is required to synchronize the electric mirror adjustment, but detailed instructions are provided in the included manual and online video guide.

What warranty does ROADFAR provide?

ROADFAR offers a two‑year or 24,000‑mile warranty, whichever occurs first, covering any manufacturing defects. If a defect arises, contact our support team for a replacement or repair. The warranty also includes access to our technical support resources for installation assistance and troubleshooting.
