Throttle Body's?

ok cool, cause i can get a 65mm mustang/explorer tb for cheap and was wondering if it'd be wise to use.

The biggest question is can you get the TPS to talk to the ECU...stocK ECU = challenging...stand alone = much easier. Plus, what is the bolt pattern for the intake manifold and does it match.

If you are using a FFM...it should be fine (assuming the bolt patter matches). On a stock manifold you will need some sort of an adapter and you will need to port the flange opening for the TB for the larger diameter...it's made for the stock TB diameter.

im using a FFIM, which is currently being built...as for the TPS thats going to be tricky, any suggestions with stock ecu (piggyback)
?

I made an adapter to allow the toyota TPS to work on the mustang TB, not hard at all. You can see some pics how I did mine here: Fab up work

wow, nice work jimi, few questions...was size were the threads on that EGT probe bung? Also would u be able to make another TPS adapter that u could sell me?

Thanks.

Thanks empera, the threads are 1/8" NPT (autometer EGT), bought the thread tap at ACE hardware. With the TPS adapter, I would have to have the same type of TB you are going to use on hand, plus it's really easy to make :icon_bigg .

i could always send it out to you , i'll look for the Tap at my local ACE hardware too.
