TBA Throttle body fitted and tested

[cosmo vyss]

I was in Brisvegas a while ago and picked up one of those TBA tb's. They are quite good looking piece of kit.
I was driving home from work and thought i would stop by Marrano's and say hi to the team. Anyway i get there and Sonny goes have you got the tb with you? I didn't ,and he said said go and get and we will bang it on and do some testing.

No worries i dart off home and get it.
We ran my ss on the dyno and it pulled a misely 227rwkw.... Anyway Sonny bolts on the new tb and we run it straight away on the dyno again. It then made 234rwk. Cool a bit of a gain. The intake temps were a little cooler off memory on this run. Not a great deal difference though.

After a few touch ups to the tune and a conversion to new dual spark tables. He ran it again and viola 241rwkw. Intake temps similar to the first run.
The TBA throttle bodies do work and the car does feel a heap better on the road. Throttle response has improved a heap and we got a measureable increase in power and torque. I didn't like the feel of the accelerator, way to touch for my liking. Sonny adjusted the spring in the tb and now its tip top.
I also had a slight pinging in the top end b4 this was all done. After a snappy manifold clean and Sonny's touch up to the tune. The ss is now better than ever.

Big thank you :bow: to Sonny and his team this was done on Friday afternoon and they went out of there way to send me off a happy chappy.
I have the dyno sheets scanned here but can't host them. If someone can host them for me that would be great.

AHHH thats why you were there.
A nice little gain.Worth every cent no doubt.
They definitely help for throttle response.

those TBA throttlebodies are a good bit of kit indeed, evryone is gainig something out of them, and more importantly down the 1/4 aswell

i Have now put the dyno sheets in the Media Gallery section. I couldn't link them to the thread for some reason.

EDIT: There ya go JB

I'm delighted with mine...More power and in particular better throttle response...It's not a huge increase - about 6-8rwkw, but the driveability improvement is enormous..

Great stuff there JB.

I bolted on a PP standard TB and noticed better throttle response. I think they are a worth while bolt on for any type of car.

Thanks for the before and after dyno results, they make it easy to see the way these TB's get more out of these engines.

I have also enquired into these t/b's. From all reports, they are the biz. A 90mm is on the hit-list :up2sum: .

[OLS108]

Yep ive had mine on for over 6 months now and i cant fault it in any way.
has done everything i expected and more.

[highlander_69r]

my ss is about to recieve one, ill get pt to run 1 on the dyno for me and see how my car fares. even though my ss doesnt run a high number for a cammed car im sure the results should be similar

[yellow ss]

ive had 1 for a few a months now i cant say enough praise about these magic units as they look good once polished up and are very responsive

I got to agree 100% I am wrapped in mine, had a little trouble with the idle and butterfly sticking when its been sitting over night but fix that and now its all systems go.

Anyway here is a little pix of the TBA's work if anyone is intrsted.
