78mm BBK ,N/A, mostly stock

adrenaline=lifeline · May 18th, 2009, 04:39 PM

Ok my 2004 Gt is mainly stock. Would a 78mm throttle body hurt me more then help?

bullitt ak · May 18th, 2009, 04:48 PM

you dont need it until your not getting enough through your other TB...i dont really think thats too large to hurt anything tho..

NastyNate · May 18th, 2009, 04:54 PM

I have the 78mm and it helped me or at least it think it did i know for sure my throttle response is better but i have all bolt-ons minus longtubes and a 3.73 gear

adrenaline=lifeline · May 18th, 2009, 05:01 PM

i have exhaust minus headers, so it breathes out but i need it to breath in but idw overkill but i like the price

NastyNate · May 18th, 2009, 05:03 PM

the price is why i did it plus its purdy!

thepizzle44 · May 18th, 2009, 05:05 PM

most people are gonna stay stick with a 70mm....dont think it will really "hurt" it tho if u go with a 78mm

bullitt ak · May 18th, 2009, 05:07 PM

i mean ive heard alot of mixed reviews on BBK products but thats just in my experiences..i have never owned one...if it were me and i had to have the tb i would go with accufab just because i know that they produce quality products..yeah its more expensive too but you get what you pay for is probably true in these circumstances

NastyNate · May 18th, 2009, 05:08 PM

i can say it did not hurt the performance of my car in anyway and i deff. helped out the throttle response

adrenaline=lifeline · May 18th, 2009, 05:09 PM

well i like the fact that the throttle body is matched to plenum

i wish u had some numbers

bullitt ak · May 18th, 2009, 05:12 PM

there was a thread i think nate actually posted the numbers from a magazine article and i think it may have been like 8hp on a bolt on 2v which is just bs IMO

i posted it a while back when this came up before

bullitt ak · May 18th, 2009, 05:16 PM

.....youre not going to be able to tell much in 1/4 miles runs there are too many variables which is why the parts are dyno tested instead of using 1/4 mile runs..especially when were talking about something like a tb

id worried ud say that.

I still have my stocker, but am getting close to needing one. I have looked into the bbk 78mm, and i actually like it alot. and why buy a TB/plenum setup that does the same thing but is shiny? I know ppl will rep accufab and I likethe looks too, but the price of the bbk's, and pp's catch my eye a lil more.

adamneupert90 · August 13th, 2011, 12:45 AM

does the 78mm bbk throttle body effect your MPG's?? and if so how much!

Theredmist · August 13th, 2011, 04:01 AM

Holy old thread batman.

personaly im gonna go with the trick flow 75mm and plenum. just about the same price and it says trick flow on it

as for your question i can't see it hurting any. kinda like a cai its supposed to give you a little better mpg. at the end of the day tho it's your right foot that's gonna tell the story not your intake.

Intakes don't do squat....maybe 1-2 more horsepower over a high flow drop in.
