Installed the 75mm TB

[GTJake]

Well, I got my Accufab TB Friday. So, I ported out the upper to match the 75mm opening on the TB. It definitely seems to have picked up some from the FMS 65mm that I had on before. We'll see when I go back to the track August 6th.

I also went the the junkyard and found the male side of the tps connector (the connector that is attached to the wiring harness) and I got rid of my rigged up wiring setup and made it look factory.

I have yet to install the cruise control cable. If anyone has taken there's out, do you have to remove the drivers side fender liner? I see the cable dives into the fender, but I don't see it under the dash, it looks like it goes into the fender. I'll take a peak at the Haynes manual, but it looks like the fox cruise cable will bolt right up.

I think next summer I will upgrade to some 4.10's with 31 spline axles, Bogart drag wheels with ET Drags (if I can afford them, otherwise pro stars). And then definitely upgrade the stock clutch to a Spec Stage II with an aluminum flywheel.

Glad to hear you did it even though its "against the grain" on the internet to go with such a "big" TB. Thats exactly what you need, can't wait to hear the new track times. Did you need a new 45* rubber adapter for your cai to fit the 75mm TB??

 

[tmoss]

Cool, post up your new numbers for us when the time comes. Good luck!

If you get the cruise working, I'm in on the Fox TB swap!

 

[Mrgreen94gt]

Where did it pick-up over the 65mm, all over or up top? Any change in throttle response? Just curious.

 

[swingline]

Looks good. I am curious too where you gained the power. I am going back and forth as to whether or not I should do the swap so I can't wait to hear your new times/numbers.

 

[GTJake]

It really did pick up all over the place. I'm really suprised. I can't wait to get to the track. I gave a friend of mine with an 89 fox with TFS heads, E cam and ported Cobra intake a ride yesterday and he said, "Well, I know where to get my cam from next time."

I think I may get on the dyno again next spring after I learn more about the tweecer and can really make some changes.

I am seriously considering the swap when I do my heads/cam.

Jake..Im looking at Accufab for a TB...Mind telling where and how $$$$ you got if for??? I was on their site for prices...If you found something/one better, let me know...

The Fernco adapter is a 4" piece and the TB is 80mm at the opening so it fits perfect.

I know your a classifieds guru Andy! That's where I got mine from. Scared it up for $225 with brand new TPS, and IAC and a EGR spacer. There are a few places in the Windsor section on corral that have really good deals on Accufabs. I would go with Muscle Motors though. I've bought tons of stuff from them and they can always get me really great prices.

Could you tell me which sizes of the following you have on your car?

MAC Long Tube Headers 1 3/4" or 1 5/8" ?
MAC Pro-Chamber 2 1/2" or 3" ?
MAC Cat-Back 2 1/2" or 3" ?

Thanks. Nice numbers!

 

[GTJake]

1 5/8"
2.5"
2.5"

Jake, what air filter do you use -- not the big FIPK one, right? I want to get rid of the setup I have now and get something into the fender, but the filter I have now would make me put a pretty sizeable hole in the inner fender .

And because of you, I finally took the plunge... I just ordered an Accufab 75mm TB & spacer. Just need to figure out what else I need to make the swap complete.

I have the stock air filter that's on the PRO-M 80mm maf's. I'm thinking about doing a write up on how to do the fox swap since it seems to be a pretty popular topic now. Here's a pic of the filter I have on there now...

Jake

 

[Rootus]

Hmmm, okay. That looks like what I want. Now I've got an 80mm Pro-M on the way. Anybody want a 75mm Pro-M Bullet?

Here you go Dave.

Nice thread you put together, well done!

What am I missing here?

The only differences that I see between Hairy Canary's combo and JakeGT's combo are the following:

Hairy Canary:
Ford Motorsport 65mm throttle body
Pro-M 75mm mass air sensor
BBK chrome longtube headers
Magnaflow catted H-pipe

JakeGT:
Accufab 75mm throttle body
Pro-M 80mm mass air sensor
MAC longtube headers
MAC Prochamber

Everything else in the combo's are pretty consistent. Explain the difference to me between:

Hairy Canary:
279 rwhp
315 rwtq

JakeGT:
325 rwhp
341 rwtq

Where is JakeGT getting 46 hp and 26 tq from over Hairy Canary? Plus, I don't think JakeGT has dyno'd with the new 75mm throttle body yet, so the difference could be even greater.

What am I missing?
