is it worth it to do a throttle body upgrade on an Eco?


on my old 1995 Mustang GT a throttle body upgrade made a difference but with these modern engines i'm wondering if it's worth the effort.

The long and short. No not worth the money.

There are a couple out there. There are some that are offering a ported TB with a core charge but I couldn't find the dyno numbers. A ported TB could benefit the EB. A TB spacer, unless running meth, will not provide any substantial benefit.

I saw a thread about a TB spacer with a vacuum port which made it simple to connect a boost gauge. that would be handy.


but it sounds like a large TB doesn't really help the EB

No

Must do a little bit. I don't think the charge pipe makes that much difference by itself.

Tothemax

14hp and 6LBs of Torque for 429.99. Hell no..

you can get a ported TB for 150.00 + a refundable $200 core charge.

Thats over 10$/ 1hp gain. Meh. Not worth it IMO unless you are building a high performance motor and bolting on every accessory possible.
