Thread: Billet 78mm TB - looks sweet

https://www.zzperformance.com/grand_...=817&catid=113

I saw that yesterday. Can you imagine the air flow that could go through that thing? Thing does look really sweet though, but I think I'll just stick with a ported option for now.

NICE! now someone rain on my parade and say it will not fit an 04+. haha.

My N* is plenty, but if I didn't have it and wanted bigger TB, that one looks perfect.

How did I know you were going to be the one to bust my bubble, haha jk jk.

coolness factor.

haha, hey its all good. I like it but prolly would spend my money engine wise elsewhere also.

Im suprised it is finally out! They showed pics of that a year ago. That price is really good also as I recall it being mentioned to be around the $450 range. Its still a chunk of change but a great deal for a bolt on throttle body. The 78mm helps too, with the Eaton blowers all the air you can throw at them helps, thats why I will have a T70 feeding mine this year . Wbody store also said a year ago when these pics were released that they were working on one also but I havent seen or heard anything about it since. If $350 is still more than you want to spend for a big throttle body there are 78mm ported LS1 and N* throttle bodies out there between $100-$175 but you still need the adapter. I am glad to see this finally out on the market, definately long overdue and a great price to go with it.

What do you find lame about that TB? It's a large billet TB and something that doesn't require an adapter plate or electical connectors and uses stock sensors.

I use an 80mm LS1 TB maybe I'll get oen ane bore it out 2mm !

so are they going to ported housing to 78mm?

They already have been apparently on the Stg 4 M90's

I was thinking about getting mine port out some
but this is a good price $$

ZZP has been porting ALL inlet ported housings to 78mm for a few years now in preperation for this new throttle body to be a future upgrade.

why have an 80mm, when you can have a 90mm BBK LS1 TB? LOL....

Has any one machined a GEN V with a 78mm inlet? does anyone think there would be any benefit s I could run this TB?
