Why should you even care if someone has a TB they want to put on?
Either tell them a usefull way to install it or a link or SOMETHING..... DAMN.
Mustangkid2.3:
For my TB conversion, I used a piece of aluminum with counter sunk screws to bolt the plate to the intake manifold and then just threaded the plate to accept bolts from the TB.
I then cut the throttle lever on the TB and moved it to the top so the stock throttle cable could be used.
What year TB do you have anyways?
I had to relocate the IAC motor on mine just to clear the hood.

Don't you guys want any REAL tech around here? Not just "where can I buy stickers and who can I have install them"?
not to mention if you can't figure out how to install it, maybe you shouldn't. It isn't rocket science.
Turbopit said:Well if you guys just want to stroke each other and not actually learn why something does or does not "work", no skin off my sack.

Turbopit said:Can ANY of you explain to me why you think a 2.3L engine (especially basically stock) needs a larger throttle body?
Did you even bother to the link I posted? You really want to say that a FORD engineer who is doing TB sizing for some upcoming programs is wrong?
I'll explain to you why I think the 2.3 n/a needs a bigger throttle body..because it doesn't have one..Its been the most responsive thing I've done to my car so far. The throttle is a lot more responsive. I've been pretty impressed with it. It really deepened the sound of my exhaust when it revs up. So if it satisfies me and what I wanted out of it, then that justifies putting it on there.

Mike SVOR said:Last time I heard, a "Ricer" was described as one who puts on body kits/stickers and has no modification done to the engine.

Turbopit said:The stock throttle body IS NOT a restriction. How is it that you can't get it? It dpesn't matter how many times you say it, it just isn't true.

Mike SVOR said:Anything in the way of the valves is a restriction. That includes, throttle blades, 90 degree bends, stock air boxes, air silencers, air filters.......
This will always be true.
Turbopit said:Don't you think the throttle blade is taken into account when sizing?
Get this through your head. BIGGER is not BETTER. Why not put a 100+mm TB on your 2.3?
One thing you do want to do is limit tha amount of times your intake system changes sizes.
Hey if guys don't want to "listen" to an engineer at Ford doing TB sizing along with a guy who spends 50% of his time at work sizing and testing airflow equipment, no skin off my sack.
