That old TB Question again .... #1599107 06/27/06 10:41 AM

My engine is a stock 2.5L from a Mondeo (your Contour I believe) and I have added an SVT UIM & LIM with injectors. At present I am still running the stock (non SVT) TB and wonder which choice of TB would be best for my application. I am running an MBE ecu and will probably either pin the secondaries or remove them altogether. Loss of low down torque is not an issue as my car will only weigh 700kg and it is a track day racer anyway. Should I go for a stock 60mm SVT TB or go a bit larger with a 65-70mm, bearing in mind I can re-map to compensate for any change in airflow? Any advice is appreciated as us Brits don't seem to tune this lovely engine. Great forum btw

Look him up on this forum and see if he still has any optimized throttle bodies laying around. Could be a long shot though due to how long ago he was offering these for sale.
