Am I wasting my money buying a throttle body with a 5mm greater

>>16362442
do fuel injected cars even have throttle bodies?

>>16362451
no, only carbureted engines

>>16362451
Unless they are diesel then yes.

>>16362456
Uh wut?

>>16362442
Could be worse, could be $926 for 3mm

You're not going to get any gains. Cams would be way more effective but you'd need a tune.

Find out the flow rate of your current one and the flow rate of your head, max RPM and displacement first.

Then decide if it's restrictive.

>>16362442
Minimal pressure drop benefits. Save you goddamn money. Maybe if you had aggressive cams...

>>16362442
headers and/or an x-pipe.

You gain about 15rwhp and 20lb-ft torque on the low end 2.5-4.5k. This is where the Mustang is actually sluggish as shit and could use the improvement. It has very minimal gains at the top end.

Too loud. I live in a large city.

Also a nice way to fail emissions inspection.

>>16362523
americanmuscle is lying to you. you wouldn't gain half that much unless your stock one was broken.

>>16362549
I've looked at independent dynos on youtube that aren't far off.

>>16362512
Speaking of cams would they be worth it in a VQ35DE

>>16362451
Yes.

>>16362587
The intake manifold spacer would be most worth it. Forget its exact name.

>>16362598
>>16362587
Plenum Spacer sorry.

>>16362587
>>16362598
>>16362608
Nevermind, on further research the plenum spacer is bupkis.

I paid about $250 for a 2mm bigger, knife edged throttle body on my Subaru that went on with my TGV deletes. I don't know how much is deletes and how much is the throttle body but tip in is much nicer and the power builds more consistently across the rev range.

>>16362638
Just came back to post that, did a little research and looks like it doesnt do shit, props to the folks who actually shelled out money to dyno test it

>>16362638
basically i change oil at an infiniti dealership and am looking at spending up to $5k or so late next year for a car for spirited driving/occasional track day and figured an 03-05 G35 coupe would be fun and educational, just trying to see if it'd actually be worth it or should I go for a miata, mk3 supra, camaro/firebird ect

>>16362676
vq35 is shit.

>>16362937
i know its not ideal but if my second car is a G35 anything I learn to do on it becomes something i can turn around and apply to the horde of G35's i work on at my job

>throttle body with a 5mm greater bore

For that to actually have gains, you must have the air filtration be able to deliver that flow to the throttle. If the air flow is the same before the throttle, there is no gain.

>>16362442
>not sure if it's truly worth the $400

I worked temp doing Ford inventory. Expect to get shit on for turbos and other related things that make gains in performance but really should be parts for other Ford engines, especially when there is usually a Ford related performance aftermarket monopoly.

>>16362451
Yeah

Spend 9k for a twin turbo hellion kit.

I cant seem to find a single turbo kit out there, and lord knows i dont want a super charger

>>16362442
>Am I wasting my money buying a throttle body with a 5mm greater bore than my stock one. Going from say 85mm to 90mm is a 12% increase.

No 5mm is quite a big increase in flow area.

>(2014 Mustang)
Never mind it's not worth spending money on that shit

>>16362451
Where else do you think they get air from idiot

>>16364089
kek

>>16362451
Gotta get the air in somehow.

>>16362442
>Am I wasting my money buying a throttle body with a 5mm greater bore than my stock one.
Yes.
100x Yes

>>16362451
As long as they aren't direct injected

>>16362442
with modern efi systems you really need to be cammed and ported for a throttle body to have meaningful benefit

>>16362442
absolutely not. You can buy a pair of nice tires with that money
