L&M 83mm
FRPP 90mm I don't believe it is out yet
GT500 dual blade
KB 168 single blade

That huge intake tube and inlet manifold make the stock tb look tiny!

 

BBK is coming out with an 85mm throttle body in 4-6 weeks.

 

In my experience with bbk throttle bodies is that they leave alot to be desired as far as quality. Throttle blades sticking and not closing properly. I had the 78 tb/plenum combo on my 2v and it was a piece of junk. Accufab however makes a quality piece.

Good to know! So I'm seeing if accufab has any plans to make a TB, unless you know of anything?

 

Zilla8, do you have any pictures of the hole for the intake tube/air filter? What is required to remove the air filter? Thanks.

 

sorry I don't have any pics but you can see it here in this Feb/2011 issue of 5.0 magazine page 96

THe front fascia needs to be removed to access the filter.

 

That's what I was afraid of, and probably to check it to know if it needs to be cleaned. I wonder how that location affects how much dirt, dust, and debris it picks up.

 

Zilla, so its been about a month now since your install, how's everything going with the new power adder?

 

Wish I could say things were going great but I had the cats fail and cause major engine damage.

It's a long story and pretty frustrating to boot.I'm having the motor rebuilt with forged internals and dropping the compression to 10:1 and will not run cats with the new exhaust that will include longtube headers.

I'm biting the bullet on this one and hope in the end it will work out and I can enjoy my 5.0 once again.

 

WHAT!!!! What happened.

 

In for details.

 

Did the ceramic melt from higher exhaust temps and cause the engine to overheat?

I guess this is a good note to all the guys running blowers... ditch those cats! (or at least get the stainless steel magnaflow race cats)

man that sucks to hear! best of luck with the rebuild. That's a tough one to swallow but in the end that motor will be much happier.

are you going to be using the ported/boss heads or different cams as well?

 

Bummer man. What boost levels were you running at the time? And was your exhaust stock still or aftermarket?

 

Details Zilla. Don't leave us hanging.

 

Cats fail and mess up the O2 sensors?

What happened?

 

Man that sucks!

 

Wow, really sorry to hear that. I wonder if it has anything to do with having to run the mixture rich to control detonation with the high compression ratio. Maybe too much unburnt fuel going into the exhaust.

I assume you were running a custom dyno tune and not a canned one?

I'm planning on going FI maybe 6 months from now, when I get the cash scraped together and would appreciate any info you can supply.

 

OUCH! That sucks! and not in the friendly girl you just met while walking your dog kind of way. I can't imagine taking that kind of hit right after you went through all the expense of getting the blower. As I'm sure you know we all feel for you and hope you come through this with a car you like even more and perhaps more importantly, runs consistently well.

SORRY about your troubles.

 

details?

 

That is one expensive Job Blow!

Sorry to hear about your troubles.
