        Hey, I'm Justin with AmericanMuscle.com, and I'm taking a closer look at BBK's 73mm Throttle Body, fitting the Drive-by-Wire 3.7 L V6, found in all 2011 and newer V6 Mustangs. The basic function of this Throttle Body is to allow more air into your engine, by replacing your smaller diameter 68mm factory Throttle Body with this larger 73mm unit. Now ultimately you can expect a small bump in power and throttle response. Taking a closer look at the throttle body, you can see that it's been designed and built very well. The body is cast from 356 grade aluminum, and all the internals have been strengthened and gone over as well. A real nice feature of this BBK Throttle Body is that it already includes all of your Drive-by-Wire electronics, which have been pre-installed for you. This makes this a 100% Plug-n-Play bolt-on-and-go mod. Now you can run this Throttle Body bone-stock without a tune or an intake, and still make more power, but this is one of those mods that's greatly benefit from other supporting mods, such as Cold Air Intake Systems, Headers Exhaust, and especially a tune. Another benefit of using this BBK is the ease of install. Now since it already includes all of your Drive-By-Wire electronics, as I already pointed out, you literally unbolt your factory Throttle Body, unplug the sensor, and then re-install the new BBK in reverse order. Doing all of this should take you no more than an hour. So if you're looking to make the most out of your 3.7 L V6, and to complement your other Bolt-Ons, then be sure to check out this 73mm BBK Throttle Body, right here at AmericanMuscle.com.

        Excellent Performance Gains. Replace your restrictive factory throttle body with a BBK Power Plus Series Throttle body that features a generous, free flowing 73mm bore design. It is a simple, direct bolt-on install that does not require any computer tuning to enjoy the newly discovered power you have put on your drive-by-wire pony. Expect to see gains of 15HP.

        Quality Construction. This BBK Mustang throttle body is CNC machined from high quality 356 aluminum to ensure OEM quality and a perfect fit. Features like OEM die stamped throttle linkages, double sealed bearings, and o ringed throttle shafts make this throttle body one of best on the market today.

        Bolt-On Installation. The BBK Throttle Body is designed for a straightforward installation and features pre-installed electronics making it a no-hassle go fast upgrade with no tune required.

        CARB Certified. Best of all, this BBK Throttle Body is 50 State Legal for the 2011-2014 Model Years under CARB EO Number: D-245-17.

        Application. This BBK Power Plus Series 73mm Throttle Body is specifically designed to fit the 2011 to 2017 V6 Mustangs with the 3.7L TiVCT V6 engine.

        Will this work with the JLT Intake? I have a JLT Intake on my 2012 V6 and I am looking into getting this throttle body, and wasn't sure if it would fit right or if i needed to change/modify the piping that came with the Intake.

        • It will fit the same as stock just a bit tighter that's all :)

        Will this fit with an Air Raid CAI? I already have a Air Raid CAI for the 2012 V6. I am wondering if it is possible to add this as well. I understand it may be difficult, but I would surely purchase if I knew it is possible. Thanks

        • yes, if you look at the pictures for this product, there is picture of a car with an air raid CAI and BBk throttle body.

        Will I need to update my tune for this?

        • This BBK TB does not require a tune after installation. However, getting a tune will offer you the best performance from the upgrade! If you already have Bama tunes (even if you didn't have a tuner/tunes yet), I'd highly recommend getting updated tune files to include this TB. Your engine will be getting increased air flow and letting your computer know that will only help improve power!

        Stock 68mm to this 73mm. That is only 5mm more. Is that miniscule amount really going to give gains of 15HP? I doubt it..

        • This alone will not gain upwards of 15 HP. As stated in the video above, this working in unison with other supporting mods will give you a larger increase in power.

        Is there a throttle body spacer that is available that will work with this throttle body?

        • If you are looking for a throttle body spacer that will work with the BBK 73mm Throttle Body (11-17 V6), look no further than the SR Performance Throttle Body Spacer (11-17 V6) item #41337 (www.americanmuscle.com/sr-throttle-body-spacer-1114v6.html). This spacer connects directly to the throttle body to give your Mustang more power by increasing plenum volume.

        I just bought my '12 V6 in December and am already having issues. One of them happened today where, at 45mph, the car violently jerked, the dash wrench light came on and while the car didn't stall, I had zero throttle response. I coasted to the side of the road w/ my hazards on and shut the car off. After checking fluids, etc, I was able to start it back up without issue and continue driving to work. A quick google turned up known issues with factory throttle bodies on a lot of 2010/11/12 Ford cars, including Mustangs. My simple question is, will this fix that? 1 answer

          Slightly deeper exhaust note

          I’ve got this throttle body connected to an Airaid intake tube, so the engine breathes really well now. After installing the throttle body, I noticed a slightly deeper exhaust note while accelerating. If you like to hit the gas hard, you’ll feel the extra power for sure. If you’re more of a normal driver, then you probably won’t feel much of a difference.

          I had to return the original now waiting on another one. The original made my check engine come on. After diagnostics come to find out the sensor in the BBK throttle body was bad. Let’s see how the second one comes out.

          Tune needed to save engine

          Simply put the car thinks it's sucking in less air than it actually is, thus burning lean, very lean.. Thu rad can keep cylinder head at 95-97C for the most part country driving. But hit the city /stop and inlet air temp skyrockets sucking hot air off the rad, and cylinder head temp reaches 99C although have yet to see it get higher. I highly suggest a tune. Although the throttle response is fantastic, and quality of the TB is very good.

          Easy install, great throttle response improvement

          Install time 20mins Torque 90in/lbs Rubber air tube between in and the air box needed a little encouragement n finesse, as the alignment rubber tabs need either cut off or pulled up n over a little.. I put them up s over. Great throttle response over stock. Country driving runs great, buh not sure how a bigger TB changes this yet in the city my air inlet temp hit 45C with a 23C ambient air, stock always matched ambient. Maybe a tune is in order..

          BBK 73mm Throttle Body

          Felt some improvement in accelerating but definitely requires a tune for best performance. Easy install and no problems besides a small computer problem that was corrected with a tune. No check engine light just a minor problem with cruse control. I would recommend it before an intake.

          BBK 73mm Throttle Body

          The craftsmanship is good, but the workmanship is horrible. My Mustang would not idle properly, was reving high and low, pulsating, gas pedal would stick. Put the old one bac on, worked fine. Took the new one apart to find one of the two connector prongs completely bent over. Whoever put the unit together bent the prong down when putting the plastic cover on. Would have only taken me 35 min to intstall if I didn't have to take the unit part and fix it.

          Fun add on for V-6 owners!

          The throttle body was super easy to install, taking less than 15 minutes. I could tell the difference as soon as I started the engine. The sound was better at idle and revving the engine. Pulling out of the driveway you could feel how much smoother it runs. The drone that occurs at 40 mph is still there but the tone is deeper and more mellow ( less annoying ). I have p245/45r19 tires (on the limited edition brembo rims) with the stock 2.73 rear end, and now I am able to make the tires spin, they would not before with the stock throttle body. On the second tank of gas now and I am averaging almost 1 mpg better than with the stock throttle body. If you want a non flashy way to make your ride more fun, this is it!

          THROTTLE RESPONSE 10/10

          When I first installed this, I didn’t really notice a difference. I mean I have the BBK CAI, a tune, roush axle back and BBK off road x pipe. So when I install it with those mods already installed it wasn’t noticeable. But I had an exhaust shop remake my setup and the car breathes much better and verrrry responsive. Somewhat your exhaust follows this mod if done correctly. THANK YOU. Overall the product is very unique and love the BBK stamp for it. RECOMMEND IF YOU WANT YOU CAR TO BREATHE BETTER. yes, it does change the exhaust note verrrrry little though but you can definitely tell(mean bite when you rev it).
