Ported Or New 62mm Tb?

[Arsonalero]

i was looking into getting a new 62mm throttle body for my v6, but some of my stang friends told me to just to port my stock one.... can someone help me out??

**edit** ah my bad, it says port and i thought it said put...........i dunno about easier........if you wanna spend the money on it because you are unsure of how its done, or are afraid you may do something wrong than i say its worth the money....but if you know how, then y not......

hey i had a question, can you get away with putting on a 62 mm TB, and keep the stock MAF, and stock UIM? while having a WAI from naich

The MAF size doesn't matter, it's a little bit bigger than the TB opening anyway but if you don't do the UIM, then the TB is a waste of money.

You're only allowing as much air as your smallest opening will allow

Arson, buy the TB, probably cost more to port the stock one and re-install it

so will the 62 mm TB fit on the stock UIM? and its a good idea to get P&P UIM for the 62 mm TB? cause if i have to get P&P UIM i might as well get LIM, and i need to start saving. cause im gonna have to drive around for a lil bit till i can afford the P&P manifolds.

I would say that if you were going to do this that you would see the most with everything ported and polished but if your looking for what you have to do is at least do is get a ported uim that way 62mm tb is not a waste becuase i have heard that our manis flow pretty well stock and then you should be good to go. I myself just got the p and p upper mani from John, at apoc and then got the 62mm tb from fdp, when they were around.

And of course the best idea would be to wait until you have enough money to get everything at once that way everything matches and this includes heads, uim, lim and 62m tb.

^^ Exactly get everything at once.

Only take the motor apart one time ;)

Yup...although I already talked to you about this over AIM Dan, I'm with these guys. If anything, get a 62mm TB and port match the UIM. From what I've been reading the LIM flows decently and it's not really all that worth it to port unless you're doing the heads, etc. as well.

And just FYI, since I don't know how many of you frequent GAGT. There's a company called Domestic Performance out of CA that will be producing 62-65mm TB's, 3.5L UIMs, etc. etc. very shortly.

:thumbsup: Not a good idea to port it unless you go ahead and match the throttle plate to the port other wise you aren't making much of a difference...I would say but the 62 so you don't have to go search and pay for a larger throttle plate.
