egr spacer with bigger throttle body

fastford3388 · July 8th, 2008, 05:26 PM

hey guys.

I've got a 70mm bbk throttle body i want to install on my 89 gt. it seems as though the EGR spacer is only 60mm or so. should i bore it out? i've got access to a hone that will work. i was also gonna plug up the coolant lines running to the spacer. is this a good idea?

hmmmm... i was told 70mm would be ok on stock. should i wait till i get an intake or cam? is it seriously gonna be that bad on a stock motor? what if i were to put that and an explorer intake on? would that be any better??

70mm sucks on a stock mustang.. u lose a crap load of low end torque. 65 is tha biggest you want to use. if you have any decent mods ...than thats the way to go.

A bigger throttle body on a stock 5 liter is a waste of money and will do more harm than good. As far as boring the spacer, I'm not sure if you can or not without running into problems. I don't know if all of them are cast the same or if there are changes in the casting to accomadate the bigger bore. If it was me I would buy the correct spacer or eliminator plate instead of trying to rig something up. Do not plug the coolant lines if you are using an EGR plate. The coolant lines are there to cool off the EGR plate, why would you want to remove them?
