BBK INSTALL *picS*

[kdogg212001]

Today i did the install of the bbk 66mm throttle body and here are some of the pictures and following them are comments along the way! surprisingly when i did a read up on it, it told me that it took about an hour to install and therfore i couldn't understand it! so today when i did the install it only took me about 15 to 20 min! here are some of the images for that!

heres the old Throttle body! all dirty and tarnished!

heres a undershot of the old throttle body.

heres the intake manifold without the throttle body!

Heres what you get when you recieve the BBK tb out of the package!

Top shot showing that bbk has a wider opening then stock tb~

hers the height comparison!

Finally its was all done and put back together!

Also I edited my previous post..Do you feel any difference and also where did you get it from?

MAFS MAS MAF MAFM they are all the same thing

you need to search.

have you ever been to truckperformance.com?

Check them out, put in your year and engine.

What happens with a larger TB is the throttle response is changed. You might also see an increase inthe engines ability to make power at higher RPM's.
You might also lose some low end torque.

The TB will not increase horsepower on a lightrly modded (bolt ons) 4.0L.

BBK designed the 66m TB to be used with their supercharger (instacharger), on a naturally aspirated engine it takes alot more mods to get to where you need a 66mm butterfly, heads and cam mainly along with fuel management and computer tuning

yeah it made me happy to see the fedex truck! lol i made the mistake when i orderd it to not change the billing address! i used the addres i am curently at instead of the address on the card! which sent the place into fraud attack mode! lol but i straightend every thing out and a week and a half later here it is! lol

 

[kdogg212001]

no i haven't been there yet! i will check it out! and it stand as MAF~~ lol hahaha

[410Fortune]

[kdogg212001]

sorry i didn't see that respones! yeah i noticed the difference! rpms have no issue getting up there! as i left the stop sign wheels had no issue spinning! lol i dont mean a chirp either! i am going to make a trip from stockton to sacramento today! which is about 45 miles each way! usually i can get about 45 to 60 mpg if i am easy on the throttle! i will see if i do a little better on the milage! depends if i am playing to much! dam lead footed people!

spacer for 4.0L intake plenum would pretty much be have machined or machine yourself deal. Pretty easy to make if you have an upper to trace, or a set of gaskets and some phenolic material (cheap)
