Anyone know anything about these TBs?

Kinda skeptical. Was browsing for anything new and saw that. Was wondering if anyone has some experience with them.

Honestly SHOs are going 11.0x on the stock throttle body. Really no need to upgrade, and if you are looking to spend that much money you can get the BBK unit which is larger than this and only a few dollars more.

Thought the 73mm didn't fit the sho, some modding needed? This platforms aftermarket mod diversity is pretty small.

The 70mm bbk throttle body barely leaves any material on the intake manifold as is when you port match it

What is the red intake manifold I see John using on his Explorer Sport? Does that have a larger port that would work well with the 70mm bbk?

That's just an oem one painted red?

For real!?!? I thought it was different. With the clear vacuum lines and all I thought it was something special.

It's got direct port methanol installed on it?

that's direct port methanol injection.

the 73mm the 3.7L Mustang and F-150 use won't fit our cars. We use the 70mm from the 05-09 Mustang 4.0L

John is running the BBK. He has a video on how he made the centering dowels to bolt it up.

I have one. Very nice work. No performance data to confirm the makers claims. Easy bolt on. I believe the company that “makes”these ( and many other Mfr TB’s) has before and after flow data.

Yessir.

Damn, I've been absent for a bit from the forums...I feel kinda famous! HAHA.

Yeah, the manifold is just powdercoated a flat, textured red. Was going for the Type-R look, LOL.

As for the TB, yeah, as @Jordan_R mentioned, there isn't much room to open up the manifold without chewing into the groove lands for the o-ring seal. I guess you COULD just open it WAY up, then hammer out your own gasket. Wouldn't be too terribly difficult.

Improve Fitment of the 70mm BBK Throttle Body [Infographic]

Lee Ament of Ortiz Performance hooked me up on a VERY quickly shipped BBK 70mm throttle body (yes, it IS from 1 2005-2010 V6 Mustang). Been thinking bout this mod but was never 100% sure it fit until I came here. Anyway, got it and test fit it to the intake manifold I have sitting […]

I'm still on the fence about how much there is to gain from it though. Definitely nothing without a tune, so...

Stock is 65mm BTW.
