TB/P Combo. Worth it?
Im thinkin of gettin a little more out of the stang....
dont wanna go more than 300-400. Currently i have 04 GT Auto with Diablow tuner, 4:10's, catback, and K&N FPIK. How much of a difference will i feel with a TB/Plenum? Any brands reccommended? would i be better off with some underpullys? or would that **** with the mach1000? and recs here? |
um well i jsut installed the Accufab 70mm tb/p combo and i can feel the difference. my car is also stick tho so i duno about your auto, your probly feel it tho. i accidently left some rubber behind when leaving form getting the install too.
|
oh yea i also had pullies done at same time as the tb/p, so far id reccomend them both but im also aiming at tons of power for my mustang

Does it feel like 400 bucks? Do you leave Grinning? Or thinking "yeah i sorta feel it" i really would love to just say **** it and spray it, but i have a lot to pay off, doesent seem like a good idea. i still have SOME sort of warranty left. lol.... |
F*ck It!!! Spray It!!!
|
well to be honest my exhaust is what makes me grin when i hit the gas, but its not like your installing any kind of forced induction upgrade, its just a good way to better acceleration but if your not hitting the gas hard you probly wont notice anythign new seeing as it makes no sound or anything, unlike magnaflow magnapacks:beerchug:

maybe i oughtta sdave up and get a beater. then get nitrous. so if i **** my engine up i still have wheels. lol... |
no if u smash the gas down u will feel it, but i got the tb and plenum installed same time as pullies so i feel more then u would with just a tb/p

Do it Jack!!I felt a difference for sure when I installed mine.Alot better throttle response for sure.I installed the TB/PL before the gears and the tune and was very impressed with the difference it made.My car run's like a bat out of hell now :punk: |
buy a used acufab combo...
|
fug that, IMO don't spend 400 bucks on something youll barley feel..unless you have nothing else to spend your money on. save 400 more bucks and you can get a sweet nitrous setup
|
i got my whole Tb and plenum setup used for a total of $175 i think it was a ok deal for my price. If i spent 400 bucks for what i got i would be sad though. There is more power up top, but is it worth 400bucks. NO. go get used stuff.
|
best part is the car dosent fall on its face at 5000 rpm.
get it |
it's not worth 400 bucks. F#ck it. Spray it. Use a 50 or 75 shot dry and you'll be happy as a clam. Be reasonable about when you use the spray and you'll have a long happy life under warranty. Remove the nitrous before you go in for warranty work.
I have the TB and ported my plenum. Definitely not worth the retail cost but I don't pay retail, so it was worth the 100 bucks and all my parts will transfer over to the 5.4 where they'll actually do some good. |

but yeah spray... now |
I installed th accufab combo this winter and i can feel a differance. It looks good when you pop the hood too.
|
I just did mine...I used the Dragon 75MM TB and plenum setup and I can really feel the difference...I added a CAI at the same time as well...I say its worth it...cost me 400 for the TB and Plenom...polished.

I was thinking about adding a BBK TB/P, when I get the procharger. Is there any gain over accufab and BBK?

Looks like tha accufab is the best all around |
One thing I noticed when I did my plenum/TB mods was a much fatter bottom end. The peak numbers didn't move up much, maybe 7rwhp total. But from 2000RPM I think it picked up almost 15. Couple that with better throttle response and you've got a decent mod for the money. Some people call me crazy and maybe some of you guys can back me up on this, but I actually GAINED gas milage with mine. Not much, maybe 3mpg, but that's how the numbers worked out at the pump.
|
Jack, why not get a mid pipe instead? and if you have emissions issues get a catted mid pipe...well worth it! That would probably get your more bang for your buck. I had the C&L plenum and Accufab TB combo on my last GT and it wasn't worth it. I actually lost gas mileage, but I think it was because it leaned me out a little bit and I didn't get a proper tune.
|
I have the Accufab 70 MM TB and Plenum. I noticed a decent gain with it.

ok, new story to tell that involves the gains from the tb/p combo. i have raced my friend in his rsx-s over n over since weve both had our cars. he now has everything possible to get before getting to internals or forced induction. first time i raced him with all his mods, i had only an intake and exhaust, and lost by more then 3 cars. today we raced again since i got the tb/p combo by accufab and the underdrive pullies. he still beat me, but by 1 car, and i was still gaining on him before we had to slow down. he even had made a comment to me of how much faster my car is now and even though i lost both times i raced him i was thrilled with how much i gained outta these things. so my point is yea id def. reccomend the Accufab tb/p combo, 70mm
