Help/Input: Custom Intake manifold, what Throttle Body??
Hello,
I am having a custom intake manifold made up for my FE3. I will be running MS and it will be turbo'd. I am curious what people choose to run as a TB when going custom.
I have 4 diff TB's currently to choose from but looking for ideas.
Info:
Wanting to run 280+Whp
IC piping is 2.5"
Turbo is T3/4 50 Trim
Current TB's are:
90 1.6
05 MSM 1.8
90 MX6 2.2T (F2T) TB
95? Q45 90MM TB (3.5")
Thanks,
Brandon

because most aren't designed to be used with a throttle cable and there's no preload in the clockspring and you're left with an incredible sensesitve limp dick throttle that can stick open if you don't add addtional pre-load to it?

why not go with a honda style throttle body. They are relatively cheap can be had in sizes up to around 90mm and you can have a IAC on the bottom of the throttle body if you have a way to control it. I personally have an ebay 90mm I would not suggest using one of these. lol

an ITR TB would be a good one.
You also need to factor in the ease of adding a TPS and Idle Valve to the mix.
