Opening up intake bore - will Dremel work?

Is a Dremel kit sufficient for opening up the intake to accomodate a Pathfinder throttle body, or do I need something with more oomph? I've got an air powered die grinder, but I would have to buy a larger compressor to power it.

Possible yes. People have done work to the manifolds with a dremel. But you will go through a ton of dremel accessories. Also it will take a real long time. I would suggest finding or buying an airtool grinder. Those work so much faster and easier. Its all about the TQ of the airtools.

Thanks for the reply. Now I've got another reason for buying that two stage intercooled 240V compressor with 60 gallon tank I've been wanting.
