throttle body

[char02gt]

whats a good throttle body for basic bolt ons,i have long tubes and x pipe and cold air intack and sct x3 on the my car already

[Boostaholic2184]

BBK is a pretty good one for the mod motors ive heard.....if you wanna spend some $$ and get some nice shit, go with AccuFab

70 or 75mm should be plenty for what you have goin on.....and some room to grow on

thanks i was thinking about accufab but i like the new bbk which is throttle body and plennium together

I have the BBK plenum and 75mm throttle body. I like the combo and it really did make a difference. I've seen that new BBK plenum with the 78mm throttle body and it looks like it would be good. Haven't heard of anyone installing it though.

Accufab makes the best TB IMO.. Accufab TB+ C&L plenum is your greatest chance for max hp out of it.

People say to go with 75mm even if your staying n/a.. but you really shouldnt. The engineers at these companies specialize in fluid dynamics and know how the air will flow into the car given certain circumstances. all the manufacturers say go 70 if n/a 75 if f/i; they dont just do it for sales.. they could care less there both the same price. Your intake air velocity is a more important factor than the 2 extra hp youll gain from going 75mm over 70mm.

Thats my .02 on it.. I went 70 and couldnt be happier.

exactly right. slow air sucks. you dont have enough motor to keep the velocity up with too much tb.

bbk for the price
accufab for the name
they both do the exact same thing as the other

Fixed it for you. Check them side by side.

+1.. bbk parts are

[Bigdrumma22]

I've got the BBK "Roush" 75mm T/B and C&L plenum on mine for a couple years now and haven't had a problem.

one is shinier than the other haha

bbk has been just fine for me. what bbk parts did you have troubles with? i have never had any after about 7 mustangs now between me and my parents.

[JOESVT]

I have never had problems with mine, it's been great. BBK plenum, TB and CAI. Never heard of any problems on anyone else's either.

[311-420]

MaxV, for some reason, feels like he has to correct me every time I make a post in the tech forum.

There are no more quality issues with bbk than accufab has of their own.

Sorry if I come across that way. I'm not picking on you. I've seen issues with BBK stuff. The Accufab parts are far better quality and have had no issues with them.

How many Accufab TB have you used? I've installed both.

Just like opinions on shifters (T-56 in particular). Some people like Steeda, or Pro50. I happen to like and recommend MGW. They are not the cheapest, but I guarantee that if you try one you'll be sold on the quality. Same with Accufab, they don't intend to sacrifice quality to compete on price.

You post your opinion, I post mine....don't get butthurt.

[311-420]

My ass feels fine! I've only tried their tb on my Mach. Idle hung. Same thing happened to my buddy Ben when he installed his. We both ditched them and went back to stock.

This same thing happens with the bbk tb for our cars, according to everyone on the registry who has used them. It's just one of them things. Neither companys products are perfect.

I will post my opinions and you can post yours, but you don't have to "correct" my posts everyday.

I havent had trouble with any.. I havnt bought any either. I just think they are kinda kicky lookin on some of their parts. I also dont like the fact that they dent their headers because they are not capable of bending the pipes so there is enough clearance for the primaries.

Im not calling em GMS level parts by any means though lol.

The stock one.....
You will not gain enuf power for the price IMO. Clean up and polish the stocker and it will be as good or better.

Just searching random crap and came on this thread.

My opinion and what i think. I don't like BBK headers because the quality is lacking. On the mach I have heard the tb's stick, the headers have a nasty dent from factory, and you have to remove them to swap clutches.

Accufab looks nice, but the quality is just as bad I would say. I have tried 3 different tb's and they all have hung open and caused problems. Went back to stock and all good. It was 300 dollars wasted.

On a cobra, the tb was great, but I have heard and seen dyno sheets say otherwise.

If you get a feeler gauge and set the idle stop screw to spec the idle wont hang.. You cant expect people at a factory to always be able to set a screw to .010". Do that and there will be no issues.

That's not the problem. I wish it was that easy and im sure 1000's of mach owners do as well.

It hangs when your coming to a light or push the clutch in. It will hang at 2k, 2.5k, 3k.... until you blip the throttle to bring it down. Not bad at first, but after a few day's it gets really annoying.

im looking into purchasing the jlt cai and 70mm accufab throttle body and plenum for my 02 gt. but after reading the threads about accufab's tb sticking, im not so sure. is it an easy fix, if it happens to me, or would it be better to purchase the bbk tb.

[JCP281]

Accufab makes one of the highest quality parts ull ever find. I havnt heard of any issues with them on a GT other than if the throttle stop screw isnt set right.. but thats just a turn of a stop nut then a twist of the bolt.. no big deal.

in all honesty though... your wasting your money anyways. If I could do it all over again I would have just ported the stock plenum and added a spacer for the plenum. Thats all an aftermarket one is, just higher and prettier looking. A CAI is a complete waste of money also, just put a K$N filter in place of your paper filter and call it a day.

Iv raced plenty of bolt on GTs to know that your outcome in the race depends on who has the lower gears, and whoes the best driver. On a 2v motor, short of headers, cams, heads, I would save your dough. Yea every bolt on adds up 2-3hp at a time, but in the real world the 10hp that you get out of all your money really wont make a difference.
