ive asked many people, and looked all over. but i can't find anywhere what the MM size is for the throttle body on the b16/type R edlebrock Victor X IM.

JG sells 65mm, and 70mm TB's. so which does the manifold have?

Get the 70 with a plate to fit the victor X then port match...

unless you want a smaller one.

To be direct. I don't know which one comes with it... but I would go large and port the opening to fit.

 

JG IM's come with a standard 65mm TB opening.

 

what's the point of the plate. and why is it needed?

 

to match the mounting points. It's needed on the 70mm not sure if you'll need it if you go 65. I'll try to take a pic tonight so you can see how it mounts.

The 70mm BBK throttle body fits without a mounting plate on the VictorX and so does the STR.

Why get a Mustang throttle body with a plate?

 

Ive heard of people using the mustants tb too... My gfs dad tried to get me to do it but i had spaceballs rebuild mine istead

 

i'm picking up a holley 68mm tonight. even trade for my black VAFC-II

 

the 70mm str fit fit flush wit the victor x on mine.

from what ive seen they are like 100 bucks cheaper than bbk/str etc..the plates also let u adapt the 75mm..

The BBK 70mm sells for $270 new on ebay. The BBK and STR accepts stock TPS and MAP sensors.

I don't think you want a 75mm TB on a street car.

You can but must not open up the VictorX with the BBK and STR.

 

i understand that 100% but the option works for some of us ..so i guess thats where u can make the decision..ive seen the MTB go for 180-200 new..most boost guys are not running map of the TB anyway and alot are running an ems thats compatible with just about any TPS or whatever..so i guess it is a good option to have for some.
