I was wondering if the BBK twin blade throttle body is any good?
Anyone use one?

 

I got one.

I tried Accufab, and it idled too high and RPM's hung up around 1300 for a few seconds after taking my foot off the gas pedal. No matter what adjustments I made, the Accufab just didn't work out.

Got the BBK, and I've been very happy with it. Dual 65mm bores, stocj is dual 57mm. There is even a guy who tested the Accufab against the BBK on a truck making over 450 RWHP and the BBK beat out the Accufab. Plus, the BBK is less money.

 

Cool thanxs.

 

Check out this thread. Pretty cool.....

I think someone recently posted a lament about BBK not being willing to replace a throttle cam that broke on one of their throttle bodies. It is a question you may want to ask before you buy one. I searched, but was unable to find the thread.

 

I'm one of those scabs that bought an Accuflab and have no complaints. The first day it stuck and high idled, however after a couple hours of usage it settled in and is predictable and stable as the stock choker.

 

But the Accufab made more Torque than the BBK to tell the whole story. I would call it a wash on performance.

BTW, I own the Ford Racing SVO single blade TB so no bias on my part between the Accufab or BBK.

 

I'll take HP over TQ every time, especially because of the tire spin situation even rolling on F1's. I won't call it a wash yet.

 

Just as an FYI, no throttle body is going to set the world on fire performance wise. What I got out of the deal was the same as most- a bit more intake noise and throttle response, maybe a few more hp. I've had an Accufab for 2 years with zero issues-the key is the setup, I installed mine and then shaun at JDM dailed it in. In my opinion it helps out on a more modified vehicle. Good luck, Todd

 

Over on NLOC in the anything goes section,
there is a discussion about the BBK TB. you might want to look
it over.

 

Struck 2001,

Thanks for the heads up. Almost bought one. I'll put my money towards another part.

 

No problem bro...
I've heard good things about the Accufab TB.

 

I just looked at the TQ increase you're talking about.

It was 2lbs more with the stock plenum, and 3lbs more with the C&L plenum. With the C&L the BBK made almost 6 more HP than the Accufab. That's 6 more HP over and above whatever increase the Accufab made over the stock TB.

Look at the whole picture, or argue for the sake of argument?

To me, it's a no brainer.

 

Horsepower = Torque x RPM / 5250

 

Here are the numbers you are talking about from SVT Performance. It would be nice to see the actual dyno sheet to see the spread across the RPM range.

Stock plenum....accufab 456.4rwhp/ 551lbtq
CL upper.....accufab 468.9rwhp/ 565lbtqTq

stock plenum....BBK 459.2 rwhp/ 549 lbtq
CL Upper.....BBK 474.4/562.3 lbtq

The biggest benefit of a single blade is the throttle response increase during daily driving. At say an 1/8th throttle the single blade lets more air into the intake than twin blades. This means less pedal to cruise at 80 mph also.

I'm glad you like your BBK TB but people that install TB's looking to big HP increases are barking up the wrong tree.
