Hey, guys.
Today we're gonna be taking a look at and installing the Ford Performance 70 millimeter
Billet Throttle Body for 2015 to 2017 EcoBoost Mustangs.
This throttle body is gonna be a good option for EcoBoost owners out there that have heavily
modified their car or are looking to heavily modify their car.
A throttle body isn't usually the best first mod but it's definitely helpful down the line
after you've already done some modifications to your car.
It's gonna open up airflow and improve throttle response.
This is a 70 millimeter single bore true Ford Performance part.
It costs about 600 bucks and I'm gonna call the install a three out of three wrenches
in the difficultly meter.
We'll go ahead and show you how it installs now.
For this install we used a 3/8 drive impact gun, a 3/8 drive power ratchet, a 5 millimeter
Allen, 2 small extensions, a 10 millimeter socket, an 8 millimeter socket and a 7 millimeter
socket.
All right, guys.
So for the first step of your install you might wanna remove your airbox.
So we still have the stock airbox on this car but I'm not sure what kind of airbox you
guys have on yours.
We're gonna go ahead and just pull our airbox.
We'll leave the intake tube installed in the car.
So I have a seven millimeter socket here.
I'm gonna separate the airbox from the tube right here at this clamp.
I'll loosen the clamp.
Then I'm also going to remove the sensor and then there's a 10 millimeter bolt over here
holding the airbox in place.
That's gonna give us a little bit more room to get to the throttle body bolts.
All right, then we have our 10 millimeter bolt over here.
This point our airbox is free and we can remove it from the car.
Our next step is to take a seven millimeter socket and loosen this clamp here on the intake
tube that's leading into the throttle body.
Once it's loose we'll be able to remove the tube.
Next we'll disconnect our throttle body electrical connection which his this right here.
Like usual, we have a red locking tab so make sure you pull that tab out.
Then you'll be able to release the electrical connection.
All right, guys.
So now all we have to do is remove the four bolts that are holding our throttle body in
place.
For that you'll need an eight millimeter socket and I have switched over to my lower profile
power ratchet for this.
So with our factory throttle body uninstalled we can take a quick second here and compare
the factory throttle body to the new Ford Performance Throttle Body.
So your factory throttle body's a 60 millimeter throttle body and the Ford Performance is
obviously a 70 millimeter throttle body.
So that's a 10 millimeter increase there.
The Ford Performance Throttle Body also looks much different.
It's made of billet aluminum and it has a polished exterior.
It does have a little Ford logo here on the top.
It's just much nicer looking overall.
So the Ford Throttle Body is a complete bolt-on replacement and it is ready to go right out
of the box, has all of your electrical components here.
It does come with new mounting hardware too so you don't even have to reuse your factory
hardware.
This doesn't need a recalibration either.
This is something that you guys can take right out of the box and bolt right onto your car.
It can be paired with the SR Performance Throttle Body Spacer too if you guys want it to but
it doesn't necessarily require it.
We're gonna go ahead and install it as is without any spacer.
All right, so now we're ready to get our new throttle body in place.
We're gonna use our new hardware.
For that you'll need a five millimeter Allen key which I have right here on the end of
my extension.
Just gonna start threading this into place.
I'm not gonna tighten it down yet just because I do have the three other bolts that I'll
need to line up.
All right, now we're gonna go through and tighten all of these down.
While we're down here we can also reconnect our electrical connection.
Remember that it does have that red locking tab.
So once it clicks into place you'll push down on the tab.
Then one of the last things we'll do is reconnect our intake pipe.
Gonna slide it over the throttle body.
It's a little bit of a tighter fit now that the throttle body's larger, so you guys will
have to work with it.
All right, guys.
So it is gonna be a tight fit and you are gonna have to wrestle with this thing for
a little bit.
You guys can see it's a little bit difficult to get on there because of that larger diameter
but ultimately that's what we want at the end of the day.
So we are going to wrestle this into place and get our intake tube sitting flush against
the back of the throttle body.
Then we'll go ahead and tighten this clamp down.
Now we'll reinstall our airbox.
All right, so we're gonna reinstall our air box now.
So we'll slide this down into place.
We'll connect our intake tube onto the airbox.
We'll tighten it down.
Reconnect our sensor here.
And then we'll reinstall the 10 millimeter bolt over on this side and then tighten it
down.
All right, guys.
That's gonna wrap up this review and install.
