Just installed my FRPP 62mm throttle body.






Mostly eye candy but so far the throttle response and idle is very smooth.

 

Yeah I got one last month. Very smooth throttle response.

 

Looks much better than the OEM TB!

 

Did you guys using this throttle body need a tune or is it a swap out and no tune needed?

 

You'll need a tune.

 

X2. Doug from C&L tuned mine. So far she's smooth as silk.

 

Documentation clearly calls for a tune. I already had a tune for Charge Motion Delete Plates and I did go through the process for re-learning the idle. The throttle response has been fine. At this point I do not know if a tune would make a difference.

 

Thanks for the responses.

 

That's a very good looking TB - how did the install go?

 

It's four bolts. It's the easiest install ever.

 

Very smooth! It's an easy install.

 

Looks awesome! Is there a big difference between this throttle body and the BBK one that's a couple hundred dollars cheaper? I'd like to invest in one eventually as well.

 

I had the BBK and it ran fine until I got my Vortech and then it started giving me all kinds of problems, throwing my car into fail-safe mode regularly. It was jacked up. A lot of people have had a bad experience with the BBK.

 

Mine was fine, the idle was kinda high in the AM when It would first start but once it warmed up it was fine. After I installed the Steeda delete plates it seemed to idle higher than normal. Could have been the tune difference. Overall I can't complain about the BBK. I am hoping to invest in the FRPP manifold in the future as well. My long tubes are going on in the next few weeks so I kinda wanted the most HP Gains as possible.

 

Dang, I was going to put my BBK TB on tonight but I decided to update my SCT tuner first. The SCT bricked itself in the update process. Fortunately I went back to stock tune first so I'm not stuck with a broken car. I hadn't planned on reverting mods to get it to run without a tune tonight. Well at least it'll get me to and from work

 

That sucks! What can you do? The tuner can't be fixed?

 

I'm going back and forth with SCT. I posted a ticket last night and they got back to me first thing this morning. When I get home I'm going to call and have a technician remote to my computer to try and fix the device. They have special tools to diagnose/fix that they can use remotely.

I'm glad to see a quick response from their tech support, hopefully they can get the device fixed. I have my K&N intake in there without the extra support bracket so it's clunking on every bump. I did it quickly because it should only need to hold up for 10 miles total.

 

Got the tuner squared away, and the BBK throttle body on. I don't know how much power is actually gained but the throttle response is a lot of fun. I gave it a good cleaning before putting it on and removed bit of build up - maybe that's what caused your idle start issue. I haven't tried it with a cold engine though, so it might spike in that case. I'll see tomorrow morning.

 

Yeah the throttle response puts a smile on your face. Yeah I noticed it needed to be cleaned a little. I didn't have any solvent to clean it with so I just wiped it down a little. I hope it wasn't too bad. I hope you enjoy it.

And BTW, the cold idle on the FRPP is fast as well so I don't think it was the BBK at all. I think it's the Steeda Delete plates in combination with the tune.

 

It's the tune. Call and they'll adjust it. I didn't have a high idle with either.
