Review & Install Video

I’m Justin with AmericanMuscle.com, and this is our breakdown of BBK’s twin 62mm throttle body for the 2005-2012 Mustang GT, equipped with the 3 valve 4.6L motor. BBK has been on the front lines of Mustang performance for many years, this time, lending their expertise to the design of this throttle body for the drive by wire applications which is going to increase air flow into your engine versus the stock throttle body. Those gains come from a slightly larger diameter opening when using the BBK versus your stock throttle body, as you can see the BBK sports twin 62mm openings, versus your stock throttle body which features twin 55mm openings. This throttle body has been CNC’d from high quality 356 aluminum and features double sealed bearings and beefed up components for longevity and quality. A nice thing about this throttle body is you can run it without a tune and still make more power versus your stock throttle body. However we recommend getting a retune after install just to squeeze every last bit of power out of your setup. After that, transfer over the electric motor and the stock TPS sensor from your factory throttle body, over to the new BBK unit, that’s it, it should only take you about two hours from start to finish. So if you’re looking to help your 3 valve 4.6 motor breath a little easier and you’ve already tackled the basic bolt ons, then you might want to check out this 62mm throttle body from BBK.

Does this give the engine a whistling sound? I had a throttle body spacer once and it gave the car a whistling sounds that annoyed me to no end, so i took it off. Does this produce a whistling sound?

I have not noticed any whistling sound with this installation. I do hear an increase in airflow sound, but no whistling.
I have not experienced a whistling sound. I have not used a spacer and I still have the stock intake system.
I installed a spacer with the BBK tb a couple years ago, and have not experienced any 'whistling.'

Spacer? Just out of curiosity is the spacer actually needed? I have a C&L CAI and the mouth is pretty big on it so I'm thinking it will fit anyways but will I even need the spacer?

This throttle body, as well as any aftermarket throttle body, should not be used in conjunction with a spacer. Throttle body spacers are intended for stock throttle body bore sizing and will constrict airflow, which ultimately offers a decrease in performance when the main goal is increased performance. Hope this helps!
I don't have a spacer on mine and it work's GREAT...!!!
I wouldn't think you'd need the spacer. The BBK body has huge openings, and more than enough flow for any application. My understanding is that the spacers were designed for stock bodies.

Will this throttle body be to big for my K&N cold air intake? I was reading the comments on this throttle body and noticed that someone had problems making his K&N CAI fit over the enlarged throttle body. Is this true? could I squeeze it on, or would I have to buy something to make it fit?

This will work with you intake. Might need to spray a little wd-40 on your silicon coupler to slide it over the new throttle body. But will work easy enough
No, he probably just gave up too quickly. The rim of the opening is the same size as the stock throttle body. My cai fit just exactly as it did before. The only thing bbk did was just bore out the holes to increase the tubular surface area.
I did use it with my K&N FIPK after using a clamp to stretch out the rubber fitting that goes to the throttle body. It's a bit of a squeeze, but it will work.

I have the Throttle Body Plenum cover. Will the cover fit over the new Throttle body since it's a 62mm instead of 55mm?

The Throttle body plenum cover will not properly fit the BBK Twin 62mm Throttle Body due to the exterior design of the throttle body.

I have installed a Airaid CAI in my O6, If I order the BBK TB, will I also need the Airaid TB spacer.

The BBK Twin 62mm Throttle Body will not require a throttle body spacer, and works best without the use of a spacer.

Threadlocker or Loctite Will I need to apply threadlocker or loctite to the bolts? I am referencing to both the moutning bolts that come with the throttle body and the TPS/motor housing bolts that you resuse from the stock throttle body. 3 answers

If you are referring to the mounting bolts for the throttle body then no. In fact you do not want to use that just incase you need to make an adjustment in the future. I had a little trouble after installation and I had to reinstall but no issues since.
You shouldn't have to, but you could. I had the opposite issue with one of my TPS screws on removal & it snapped off at the head of the screw. Luckily, I had a spare TB sitting around & I was able to use one of those on the new TB. I put a small amount of anti-seize on the parts of the TPS and throttle motor screws that went into the BBK TB housing as a precaution. I did not use Loctite on the upper TB mount screws or the lower nuts in case I had to remove the assembly for any reason.
Shouldn't need to. If they're tightened correctly, it shouldn't be an issue.

Hello, Currently running a Steeda 90mm CAI, Pypes Offroad H Pype, Ford Racing 4.10's and Flowmaster Outlaw axle back with Bama 92 race tune in my 06 GT . Will this accommodate my Steeda Throttle body coupler and should I get another tune from Bama to tweak it just right? I am thinking it cannot hurt to get another tune. Are there any other requirements when installing this Throttle body or is it simply bolt on and go? Thanks in advance. 1 answer

Hey! Yes you may have to stretch the rubber coupler a little but they are compatible. I strongly recommend a tune to correct the air/fuel mixture, with the addition of more air you will run leaner than normal(lack of fuel or too much air).

Is there an aftermarket cover for the shaft available once you remove the cover off of fhte originaL I'm worried dust will get into the unit. 1 answer

If I understand the question, you are worried about the shaft is on the drivers side that is attached to the butterflies in the throttle. http://www.americanmuscle.com/bbk-62mm-throttle-body-05gt.html#customer_pics-0 (shown in the bottom throttle body). You would be reusing the factory motor or actuator which will cover up and attach to the shaft. (shown in the top throttle body)

I know it's a bit larger than the factory TB. I was wondering if the factory intake would fit around the larger TB? Or, would I need an aftermarket intake kit, first (can't afford both, at once). 1 answer

This throttle body will absolutely fit with stock intake so you may upgrade the intake or throttle body in which ever order would be best for your application.

No good

Doesn't fit with plenum cover. Second worked on getting it wright for 4 hours they put so mush lock tight on the brass screw you can't even turn it plus they do not even put a head on the screw to help turn it. I had to put vise grips on it to turn it and don't know why they even put thread lock because it has allen lock screw to hold it. Third i could not get the volts wright at all butter fly is so tight sprayed it and still to tight . Never buy BBK again.

Terrible experience

First it does not fit with the plenum cover . The brass screw has no where to grab it to adjust it . Put a screw head or wrench head on it . It is so tight you have to use pliers to turn it . To much lock tight used on it. Would not hold the volts in one place they where all over the place. Linkage needs to be lubed up before you send it out. I tried spray silicone and still to stiff. Very bad experience.

Missing parts found new codes

It only came with two screws, and no gasket. Not cool. After install, I'm now dealing with the engine light on, and throwing codes that say the throttle body is stuck open or stuck close. I'm a big fan of AM, but they didn't get it right this time.
