Need PSI

hey everyone, was just wondering if an au falcon or xr6/8 or any other models came with a bigger throttle body??? i wouldnt mind getting a bigger throttle body but too save money i would rather buy a standard ford item, capa wanted about $700 for a throttle body upgrade on my ea, i have no idea what size it was, they didnt seem to give too much info about it. if any one knows what model falcon came with a bigger throttle body and what size it is this would be greatly appreciated.

thanks
Ehab

you can get one for a XR8, 75-80mm TB's

the xf TB is about 3.2" its the same size as an ea TB (or at least the one that came on my ea)

std size is generally called 65mm, but i measured my plate and i think its exactly 63.5

'GM Destroya' is boring out the standard TB's to 68mm and only charging around $75 or so exchange.
He's making me one as we speak.
There is a thread kicking around here somewhere about it.

What's that?..... Did I hear you say TQE power?

hmm i might look into that.

Is there any advantage to getting a bigger throttle body on a std engine?? If so is it a big gain or just not really worth it unless you start doing big engine mods...

I doubt there would be any gain on a standard engine as they are limited by camshaft, head, etc.
I think you'd need to be producing 150rwkw+ to see any increase.

I can see how this would be beneficial at full throttle but guys wouldnt this sort of stuff up part-throttle conditions because doesn't the TPS help determine how much air is going into the engine - and if you have a bigger/bored out TB then it will be like the throttle is open wider than the TPS think it is - hence stuffing up part-throtle mapping slightly???
it might cause pinging from leaner A/F ratios, or stuff up fuel economy etc - I dunno...
I'd say it might only be a slight problem, if it is indeed a problem at all, but have you considered that?
I'd much rather spend the money on something more useful like head work or soemthing....especially if you were considering paying the $500 or so!!!

Just my 2 cents...
