Im after a h22 70mm TB and am wondering which to go for. I believe their are a few;-

Skunk2
BDL
& STR

Please give me some feedback on the TB you have and whether you have encountered any issues, fitment, running etc.

Thanks in advance

 

Don't forget rpm service

I have a str/bdl on mine, it was hard to get used to the spring stiffness, and getting it to not stick shut was kinda shitty, but it all worked out in the end

 

I have a rpm 70 mm

 

i have an STR 70mm tb. i noticed that the spring was really hard on it too. i liked it though.

 

im using a 68mm from gude.

 

How is the skunk2 TB, I hear they are on back order, anyone know if this is true? Im from the UK so not in touch with your market. Im tempted to go with the STR also thou. How did you sort out the sticking issue? Lube?

Also does anyone know a supplier that can source me the following and ship it to the UK?
(70mm TB, Front sway bar, SC61 turbo, Uprated oil pump gear (80mm or 84mm?), kicked out oil pan (moroso or simalar), and possibly a fibre images CF hood.

 

I had my stock one bored from 60 to 64mm for a lot less than the price of a new TB. If you're going for serious flow, a new 70mm would be better, but 64 is just fine for my mild gains

i adjusted the throttle stop and cleaned out the inside well

 

i have a used t3 sc61 with a new 5 bolt exhaust housing. used about 10,000 miles......or 16,000km, whichever you prefer.

i'd let it go for 500 bucks plus shipping.

 

i used to ahve an STR 70mm, but ended up getting a 68mm Professional Products TB...$125 was too good a deal for it.

 

I have an Edelbrock 70mm and it's pretty nice. You do need an adaptor plate and it uses a Ford TPS which is much easier to come by than a Honda.

 

Edelbrock here...

good stuff. even when my car was boosted

 

70mm str with no problems.

 

by the way bdl is str its their new name

 

i use the bdl 70mm but like was said before spring is more stiff and sometimes it likes to stick. but great product other than that

 

um what year ford tb can you use the ones off the 5.0 or the 4.6 cause i have an extra one from my ford that i might try and use?

Do you have an Edelbrock TB? If so you can just go look at what TPS is on there now...

 

70mm str, i like it, bored and port matched manifold and port and polished head.

 

nah i have the professional products one. but i know my buddy used a stock stang tb on his d16y8 a long time ago.

Well, I guess if you can bolt it up and calibrate it right, it would work.

 

lol haha yeah i figured that i just dont have much time to mess with it. i dont get a chance to do any thing till the weekend, but im usually on the road for a few hours riding home on them. ill prob just end up sellin it to one of my buddys who has a stang.

 

Is the skunk2 70mm TB released yet? Have they made good TB's in the past or are they simalar to STR/BDL
