I know Explorer Express has an larger aftermarket throttle body for the 4.0 OHV but does anyone make one for the 4.0 SOHC?

 

nope.......BBK is the only manufacture of the larger throttle body for the OHV also...the explorer express tb is a BBk without the lables...

 

ahhh gotcha. thanks for the info

 

BBK IS THE ONLY BRAND FOR THE 4.0L SOHC. I was looking at it for my truck. But then I decided not to because then you should get bigger Fuel Injectors and bigger fuel lines and an aftermarket mass air flow senser, which adds up to too much money. You get better performance, but it costs more in gas. Thats just my thought.

 

sorry bub but no one makes an aftermarket TB for the SOHC...it is the 8th TB down this page:

straight off BBK's website:

1580 - 66mm Throttle Body for 4.0 liter Ford (1989-2000*)
*Will not fit SOHC models.

 

Im suprised at this since the mustang has the 4.0..It would be a fairly simple mod to do.

 

it is my understanding that the SOHC has a pretty good sized TB to begin with. no need to upgrade.

unless you are forced induction or something.

 

i think the SOHC already has a 60mm throttle body....

 

i think the 4.0 only came out in the mustang in '05

 

plus they have a different intake and throttle by wire.

 

Yeah but they already have supercharger kits specifically for it! lol

 

I thought they replaced the 3.8 with the 4.0 SOHC aka the same one in our truck aka the same one in mustangs until whenever.

 

Yes, all that happened when the new 05 came out..

 

they did in 2005 with the new body style Mustang, BUT.......it has a different throttle cable setup....infact it isn't a cable at all, it is done by wire.......

 

Which sucks, i like the throttle cables much better.

 

i guess noone listens to what i say earlier!

 

i was quoting what you said earlier.........but no.....most noobs dont read, just post...

 

ive noticed that on the last 3-4 threads i posted... not sure why i even bother.

 

that i quote you or that noobs just post and dont read?

 

that none of the noobs read posts.

 

it gets worse every post....nor do they like to search for anything......you know the 4 or 5 topics daily on "tires" or "oil" or other topics that we discuss ALL the time...

 

lol yea but i dont like to search either.

 

So no one makes an aftermarket TB for the 4.0L SOHC?.......................


I'm kidding guys....thanks for the info. It looked like the stock TB was pretty big like Zach mentioned. Just checking.

 

yup.....a stock 4.0 SOHC TB is a good size bigger than the 4.0 OHV TB......and the only way you should need a larger TB is if you upgrade your fuel/air system (ie: supercharger, larger injectors, larger pump, and so forth)

 

For all that I'd rather spend the money on a 302 swap lol
