Re: high flow throttle body

Bro, yours is M54 engine and your throttle body is already the largest of the family. Normally a larger throttlebody will allow more air to flow at WOT. this translates to better power figures.

Find a big man... Alternatively prepare to get raped more often....
Are you looking to increase the power of your car?

If you looking for larger throttle body, you will need an aftermarket ECU to recalibrate your AF settings. Not sure whats your current fuel injection duty cycle like but I guess you may need larger injectors to dump in more fuel if your current ones are already maxed out...

Toto,

There comes a time when a larger throttle make little or no improvement to performance. The rest of the intake such as the head, plenum and intact tract limits the amount of flow. So a larger throttle body will not make any power gains. But with a larger throttle body, a 10% accelerator input which normally translates to a 10% throttle opening , will flow more air cos the opening is larger. the effect that you get is a better acceleration kick. But when you extend to 80% or so opening, the restrictions caused by the factors listed above will limit the flow and thus limit the produceable power. That's why forced induction cars make big big figures.

If your car has a limited throttle, then a larger opening will provide good results. An example is the previous Ford Focus, the 1.6L engine has a throttle body opening of about 50mm and is a major restriction.

If you wanna go upsize, a larger body of about 10% in dia is about the max that you should go to free up any possible restrictions and be within the manufacturers programing of the ECU.

Cheers

Rodney,

You never fail to amaze me with your wealth of knowledge on cars. Thanks for the enlightenment bro.

Re: high flow throttle body

No worries guys... i am not really that good, there are better guys here with more knowledge.

BTW, toto, you still wanna do the pipe thingy? I am going down to UM2 this sat and i can get the pipe ready. Let me know.

Cheers
