which 3l uims can you use with which throttle body's? i want to use at least an optimized svt but eventually a mustang tb.
A 2002 Taurus 60 mm tb will definitely fit a 2002 - 2004 Taurus and 2005 Escape UIM and it looks like it fits an ST220 but I haven't confirmed this yet. No adapter plate is needed for the IAC passage unless the IAC location causes interference with the hood. The Taurus UIM doesn't appear to have this problem but it is unclear to me if the 2005 Escape IAC location is a problem. All of Tricker's pictures of his installation are gone and he purposely elevated the rear of his hood by 1 inch to accommodate the later Mazda UIM. I get the impression that Tricker was the only one to successfully install later Escape intake (his was a 2007).
I've had an 06 Escape UIM with a Taurus TB installed for a few years now. The issues I ran into in regards to this UIM were with Escape TB and the IAC location. The Escape throttle cable pulls the opposite way as opposed to the Taurus and Contour cable, so I ended up with a Taurus TB and a modified TB bracket to use the stock cable. The Escape IAC will allow the hood to close, but it will rub on the underside of the hood. I have considered grinding it down but haven't done so yet.
there are some really cheap for the manifold itself but im getting really high shipping quotes at the moment.
