Hey guys. Anyone ever replaced the 2004 4.0's Throttle Body with a bigger one??? Where would i find this bigger Throttle Body?? Mustang or Explorer?? ALso, what about the Throttle Body spacer?? I can't find one for the 2004 4.0, is the Explorer or Mustang 4.0 spacers interchangable??? Thx.

 

LOL ROLF... throttle body spacers are great paper weights

 

yeah don't buy a spacer it is worthless for your truck

 

Actually from what Ive heard the Throttle body on the ranger isnt an issue. A spacer sure wont do anything either.

 

if you buy one i will shoot you

 

throttle boddy spacers makes your truck sound really fawkin annoying when your hung over and hear a damn whistle!

 

OK, well how about upgrading the throttle body, with a bigger one??? I can't find one.

 

Nobody??

 

I really wouldnt worry about the throttle body and its components. Also I would highly suggest you take the "tornado" out of your truck.

 

i'm no mechanic, but if i remember correctly, the throttle bodies equipt with the 4.0's are not an issue for power loss or restiction until you have a LARGE amount of engine work done to the stock 4.0. that means you'd have to do much more engine work to your block before the throttle body would be become a big enough issue to worry about replacing it with something bigger. until then, it's a waste of money.

 

i keep hearing that throttle body spacers. tornado air twirlers.....are lame and dont work. and if htey DO worlk only for liek 5 minutes than the computer adapts or some crap. any truth? why do they try and sell a product SO HARD that does absolutely nothing?

 

Cause there are people that actually believe there claims, ignoring scientific and real world claims, and have tons of money to waste.

 

lol. sounds good enough for me. "Placebo" effect huh?

 

More like: 'A fool and his money are soon parted.'

What's wrong with the "tornado?"

 

spinning air wont do a damn thing... the injectors spray fuel into the combustion chamber and the air is let in thru the intake valve any spiraling air isnt going to be spiralling any more nor would it matter...

and people add on intake kits/free flowing filters for more air flow... putting a tornado in the intake tube is taking up space allowing less air in due to the tube having an obstruction in its path...

 

the "tornado" or wtf its called is a friggin huge scam.... spend your money on other things or ANYTHING before you break down & buy that sh*t... get an efan or tuner that'll do you much better for hp/ gas mileage gains

 

i love this. it seems that the more i read new posts. the more im convinced its crap lol. because when you think about it. gas is liquid. not gas.....(Irony?) so when the injectors inject. its supposed to "Swirl with the tornadoes air?......ok NO besides if theres any bends in the intake manifold as soon as it hits a wall. spinning air is gone.

it just doesnt make sense in any way. and yet i didnt think about it until i read this thread.

i should kill you for the minute of my life wasted watching that.......

 

hahah

 

oh ok your one of those, **** and moan about how bad your life sucks. Do me and yourself a favor and grow up, please!! -Mike-

 

ok so throttle body spacer useless on fuel injection...bigger throttle body wont help either... if u put a bigger throttle body it will not do anything because your valves are still the same size. therefor you cannot get any more air into your cylinders unless you get new heads with bigger valves..or more valves

 

what the hell? it was a friggin joke? LAUGH and grow up haha.

 

hahahah that video was pretty funny!

they did a test on a honda civic with a leaf blower on the intake.. 10hp gain or something around that.. theres a video or thread of it somewhere on the net.haha
