99-04 Gt Throttle body

g@232stang · March 18th, 2009, 09:40 PM

Will a 99-04 gt throttle body fit my 99 3.8. Im goin to get ported and polished upper and lower intake and was wondering if there was a cheaper option then buying the bbk 3.8 tb.

Buy the 3.8 tb...

goren813 · March 19th, 2009, 03:29 PM

+1 just match the size as close as possible, there are a few options for the 3.8.

ESG-642T · March 19th, 2009, 06:19 PM

Even then don't wast the $ on the TB.

g@232stang · March 20th, 2009, 01:31 AM

so are you saying to keep the stock tb

00BlueMustang · March 20th, 2009, 01:42 AM

Thats pretty much what he is saying

Mr. Zip · March 20th, 2009, 01:43 AM

Yeah just keep it stock

jldugger31 · August 11th, 2010, 12:08 AM

heres what someone told me '' buy a windstar kit'' its cheap and comes with a 65mm tb if you buy the kit that comes with it

9986paulk · August 11th, 2010, 12:11 AM

windstar with GT TB is better. Because it's not a ton more than the BBK tb and you'll get better gains. But IMO just stay stock TB until you go FI.

v6kid · August 11th, 2010, 02:44 AM

It would probably be cheaper to get the windstar with the 65mm TB rather than the P+P upper and BBK TB. The windstar is also a better design.

nukeman13 · August 11th, 2010, 03:06 AM

the windstar intake is plastic so idk if u can P&P it lol and you can get the gt TB with it for like 50$ and i doubt u would see any difference if u P&P the lower with a windstar on top of it

v6kid · August 11th, 2010, 03:43 AM

OK here...from ssms base price for P+P upper 300, cut and weld add 250, and add 250 for 65mm TB. Thats $800.. The windstar is $455 with the TB.. HUGE price difference.. The windstar stock probably flows the same as a P+P upper (just a guess). If you port match the windstar to the lower then you have the same power, just much cheaper.

Mr. Red Pony · August 11th, 2010, 03:52 AM

Instead of a ported upper, get a windstar, then you can use the GT TB with that.

Codeman · August 11th, 2010, 11:10 AM

Agree totally with ^. The only way the you would need a cut and welded upper is if your boosting it. Otherwise for the money you can save get the windstar. And might as well get the GT TB with it for 40 bucks.

uhhh what's up with this bumping old thread stuff lately...? But anyway, boosting the windstar has given good results as well.

Codeman · August 11th, 2010, 11:47 PM

Ya, I noticed that a lot lately that ppl are bumping them. Maybe it is a good thing. It means they are using the search button

instead of posting same rhetorical question over and over and over
