I've been doing a lot of research on 85x89s lately, and I often see people wondering about intake manifold/throttle body setups. From what I've read it's PerformerX + 68-70mm throttle bodies are the "tried and true" way to go. However, I notice lots of people wondering which throttle body to get, where to get it, etc. So this thread is basically a post your throttle body thread.

Please include stuff like brand, size, fitment (any changes necessary), where you got it, price, and service experience from the company (either manufacturer or shop you bought it).

Ok, I counter with http://www.luv-emo.com/

 

Their throttle bodies work great and are the cheapest I have found.

Actually I did and I didnt see anything about TBs on the main page. I figured what he meant, my point was some text along with a working hyperlink is more helpful than simply a website address and no comment.

 

i am also interested in this for my build also

 

I do not like my STR 68mm throttle body...It would stick and cause a high idle. I had to add a helper spring to completely shut the throttle blade...
I DO NOT recommend STR for throttle bodies...
I have only heard good things about Professional Products throttle bodies however...

 

i own a professional products 68mm TB. good so far, the only thing i didnt like was the ultra cheap gasket they include. but well worth the money

 

I have heard great things from Chris at polar bear tuning, and plan to order one of his throttle bodies!

post to help or dont post.

thanks.

 

Soon to test out my Professional Products 68mm. What little I've heard from them was good.

 

DHR! fucc the rest... haha.. j/k Professional Products its great. fitment is fine and best of all it looks stock and does not stick and makes power. bought it on EBAY for $140. great pricing great product.

 

are you guys matching your manifolds to throttle body?

 

yes

 

My Skunk2 was utter garbage.

 

i have a skunk2 68mm and it is JUNK it sticks open due to the blade having sideways movement while open and gouging into the edge of the bore where the shaft goes through.

i have a 70mm BDL on the way. it is pricey but they are guaranteed not to stick and use a bronze shaft w/ sealed bearings. hopefully i will have good luck w/ it.

 

I am running Spoon 70 --&gt; 67mm and it works great with good response

 

Proffesional products. Ive had mine for two years with absolutly zero problems. Its cast like oem, and inexpensive also.

 

I would go with a BDL. avilble in 68,70,72 mm I run these on my customer's car's and have never had a problem and they come with the gasket

i dont believe the 72mm is available. i recently ordered one only to find out BDL has no et on availability so i now have a 70mm on the way instead.

post up dyno sheet(s) when motor gets tuned

 

i will, it'll be a while. doing it right even if it takes longer.

only thing is.. my tuner's dyno notoriously reads low. but i think he's figured out a correction method for comparison to other dynos.

*shrugs* i'll keep ya posted, appreciate the help
