Throttle Body

usafimj · May 25th, 2008, 02:40 AM

If I buy a used stock throttle body is there anything I would have to do or is it just a plug & play deal.

The plan is to paint it to match my car

07 STROKER · May 25th, 2008, 02:43 AM

why not paint the one u have?

usafimj · May 25th, 2008, 02:49 AM

It would only take a day to dry. if your gonna buy a TB man get that gt500 TB from whatever company that sells it, i cant remember. rpm outlet or sutton.

What you plan on painting it with? Most paint will dry in 2-3 hours and if you do get a bigger one make it a GT500 one they are a lot easier to tune.

I was thinking of maybe powder coating it so it'll last a long time

07 STROKER · May 25th, 2008, 03:29 PM

i got a friend who just moved there. and im not touching my TB...they are way too sensitive

usafimj · May 25th, 2008, 03:44 PM

How much power can a stock one handle

06RedfireGT · May 25th, 2008, 04:21 PM

It starts to become a restriction at about 500rwhp.

Embalmer · May 25th, 2008, 04:25 PM

Just an FYI - I've tried both a BBK TB and a Ford Truck/GT500 TB. Neither worked properly and even JDM posted over on modularfords.com the gains were minimal with the GT500 TB. You have to buy their adapter because the GT500 TB will not bolt right up to the 3v manifold. The TB only becomes a restriction at 500hp and for centrifugal type blowers. Also, the throttle sensors and motor are hugely important to the drivability of the car.
Messing with them usually yields issues, as I can attest. I'm back to using my stock TB and I had a buddy of mine powdercoat it (after removing the motor and sensor of course).

usafimj · May 25th, 2008, 04:27 PM

looks good. I plan on painting them myself or powder coating the cam covers, TB, and maybe the fuel rails. I'm gonna try and paint them to match my car

07 STROKER · May 25th, 2008, 05:38 PM

07stanggt · May 25th, 2008, 06:02 PM
