Mustang 70mm T/B

andronik · 05-12-2008, 06:13 AM

I've heard that Throttle body from 96-04 Mustang 4.6L will fit cougar/svt manifold. Does anybody already try it? How about throttle bracket and cable - Svt parts will be good for mustang TB? Right now I have svt 65mm TB and I'm wondering that is it worth to change it for bigger one?

if you're gonna use the 70mm, you might want to measure the opening on your UIM. SVT is 67mm iirc. Having a smaller UIM port is going to hurt the performance gain. You might want to port match the two, to get the most from the upgrade...G.

You need to be moving a LOT of air before you're going to benefit from a throttle body that large. Do you have a turbo or a blower or something?

SVT should be plenty large enough for your application, otherwise.

the CSVT tb is smaller than 65mm. I have a 65mm set up on an extrude hone uim and the TB is larger than the uim opening

I do believe it is 60mm.

no definitely not. changing out the MAF is going to cause you more problems than its worth. The stock one is good to 250ish HP before its voltage range is maxed out.

and keep in mind that bigger is not always better with TB's. Its unlikely that anything short of forced induction will give you any benifit of having a TB larger than a stock SVT.

The one thing you will want to do is optimize the TB. Such a small mod has been dyno proven to make a decent amount of power across the whole bandwidth.

i thought the svt tb was 63mm?
