throttle body size?

[ttocs]

as I am polishing my intake it occured to me I will need to get a polished throttle body to match it. I am currently running a 75 mm but that is just because I found it used for a nice price. What size TB would you recomend for the mods in my sig and I know I have heard of a BBK that the butterfly broke on, any other recomendations to get or stay away from?

I think the 75 is probably pretty well matched to your setup. I had a BBK on my Fox and did not have issues, but have also heard about the failing linkages.

I know the Accufabs are very high quality pieces, but pricey.

I have a polished pro products one, its not bad esp for the price. I think a 70 or 75 would work alright for you.

Anything bigger than the opening on your intake is not really going to do anything for you.. I would just keep the one you have since its already there. Just polish it too..

Accufab only makes them for Fox body's but they are awesome pieces. I swaped over to a fox set up just so I could run an Accufab TB, plus the other benifits you get from it.

exactly what is the difference in the fox to sn95 tb that nets the 1-2 hp I always hear about?

 

[Venom351R]

The throttle response is better, I did notice a difference with that and there is not as many bends in the air flow before it makes it to the intake. I like it more just for asthetics alone. Its not recommeded as a power increasing mod even though there is a slight bump in power but its the looks of it and throttle response and less clutter look that made me want to do the swap.

Were you able to retain the cruise control without major headaches or did you omit that?

 

[Venom351R]

I said screw it, never use it anyway so not worth the hassle of getting it to work.

less bends? not sure how two 45 degree bends add up to less then a single 90 but ok. It will be going onto a 94 cobra intake. I would love to see the numbers on a dyno to prove all of this as if peole can feel a 1 hp differnce and say it helped throttle responce or if they are just trying to justify all the time/work they put into the project. Cleaner, eh not so sure really.

the problem there is that its very difficult to get a true test back to back because you have to do so many modifications to the wiring/linkage that takes some time. the only one that i ever saw was on stangnet years ago by killercanary.

as for my recommendation to the question posed though is to get whatever size the intake is.

 

[Venom351R]

one bend is better then 2 bends, you answered your own question. And there is better throttle response.

I don't feel any lag in my throttle now so I don't see how a fox setup would make it better, plus honestly the fox stuff is a lot uglier than the SN stuff. I always hear it's better for HP and whatever else people say but I don't buy it, I'd think two small bends would be better than one large one. if a car is going around a track its going to maintain a higher speed through two 45 degree turns vs one 90 degree turn.

If you leave the filter in the engine bay then there's only 1 90degree bend, if you have the fox setup and put the filter in the fenderwell then the setup "appears" more restrictive because of the 90degree bends instead of the 45degree in the sn95 setup. I think that's what Scott means

The SN has more aluminum intake for heat to soak into.

There, A half assed right answer for you!!! LOL

 

[OnyxCobra]

ah yes, that's a classic.

 

[Venom351R]

ive had both, the Fox set up has better throttle response. That's more to go on then just assuming its not any better

a lot of mods like that often feel like they made a difference because you want to feel a difference or expect a difference. Kind of like a catback, does it give you an increase in power? sure, but its nothing you're going to feel even though the car will seem faster afterwards.


All that really matters is that you're happy with the change, I'm just saying my car does not need any better response.

ah ok, thanks for participating but where the hell did this come from? I would rather have the aluminum myself as I know it is not going to crack or wear out - ever.... Plus the power pipe is ceramic coated and the maf is in the fender so take that fer yer heatsoak... I see trickflow makes a really nice intake for the modulars, glad I don't have to pay that price for it.

Anywho after looking around and checking out the short list of tb's for the 94-95 I was wondering it anyone has used the summit brand? It looks identical to the pro products although its polished aluminum and not chrome. I like this idea better because I know it would bug me to have my polished aluminum intake, connected to my chrome tb, then connected to the boot that goes to the ceramic coated power pipe. While they are all shiney there will be 3 different colors of shiney that I would like to minimize and just have 2 types between the aluminum and the ceramic.

I'm pretty sure the professional products TB i have is polished aluminum, not chrome.
