I am getting ready to dyno (again) and I swapped out my Erick's Racing throttle body for my stock ITR throttle body. My butt dyno tells me that there is a world of difference between the two. Throttle response and top end power seem to have dropped significantly. I am going to dyno with both throttle bodies, so I will have hard evidence to prove one way or the other, which one makes more power. At least on my setup. I will post results when I get them.

 

Yeah, please post results.

 

thats funny. a friend of mine who has a 2l motor gained about 5hp on the top with the ericks tb

my 1.8 lost some low but didnt make or loose anything up top

 

i'm curious to know the results as well.

 

where are you dynoing?

what time Todd? knowing Jeff probally afternoon

 

Jeff said anytime after 12:00, so I plan on getting there at 12:01.

 

I have a 70mm too. I'll stop by. Now I need to talk Jerry into comparing his itb's to a big mani/tb combo.

 

lol

 

me too

 

which one do you have? the 68 or 70mm? Also, do you have an ITR intake manifold or a JG?

 

Erick's Racing 70mm tapering to 68mm. Stock ITR intake manifold port matched to the throttle body.

 

Anyone have any idea's on who may have one in stock, besides Erick's racing? (So. Cal Preferred) Apparently Erick is on vacation, and the shop is closed for a week or so.
I have been looking for one for a couple weeks now, and no one seems to have any.

Thanks.

 

I saw one that looks identical to that one. It had the number 68 stamped on it but the opening was 70mm. It was manufactured by RPM Engineering. Not sure if that was the name of the manufacturer or what.

 

doesnt accufab make a TB that looks exactly the same?

 

inline four?

from what ive seen, the rpm eng, erick's, str and a few others are all identical with differnt names/icons milled into it

 

I'd like to know for sure. I wonder who the real manufacturer is? It would not surprise me if it was Accu Fab

 

Yes Earl, i think its AccuFab that makes it, i forget where i seen it, but it looks IDENTICAL

 

it's all the same cnc design

Erics, STR, holley, BBK etc.. all the same type... basically they all have the same design they just etch their names on the top part and resell it.....

 

Here's their site but I don't quite see a match.

I met a guy on Sun who works at Accufab. I wish I would have known to ask him about them..

 

the holley and bbk ARE NOT the same as the others....the holley is a total POS, and the BBK is CAST

 

I was told by str that they make theres in house. I have compared erick's to str's the are both similar and both are very high qaulity but ther not the same tb with different names
