FMS throttle body, are they any good?

[bgjohnson]

well I can get a deal on a FMS 65mm TB and EGR spacer and was wondering if these are any good or if anybody has had any problem with them? I was hopin for an accufab TB but this is such a good deal, and it is used if that makes a difference.thanks

I know sombody hear has one, are they better than BBK or about the same because I really don't want it to stick open or hear it whistle.

back in the day the 65mm FMS throttle body was the only one to get. FMS parts are usually of pretty high quality. i'd get it.

Ditto. FMS or Accufab seem to be the throttle body's to have.

I got a used 65mm FMS TB and it rocks. No whistling or sticking in the year that ive had it. I've had friends with BBk and MAC TB that whistle like some chick is walking nearby.

I bought one used but it was nib. They come with a new TPS and an IAC. Thats why I like them. Usually your old ones are gunked up. If you have a stock upper intake, make sure to open it up to the 65mm gasket size. Otherwise I'd wait to put it on.

How much do the fms 65m tb's cost?Is it a straight bolt on,or does something have to be recalibrated?

Does Ford make a 70mm for a 93 GT?

bgjohnson- in the deal that your gonna get...is the Spacer painted blue?

and yes FMS makes great TB's #1-accufab, Close behind at #2 - FMS

Made by Ford for a Ford...What else do you need to know??

Yeh if it's in good shape and working properly there should be no problems...
Read one time that 65mm is the ideal size for a 5.0 motor...Airflow is about the same as a 650 holley or so. Supposedly you want the air intake to neck down from the filter to the MAF to the TB to the intake to keep the velocity up...Every little bit helps...

Get the spacer too and I've heard you can carefully open up the stock intake to match if you have too, but I have a GT 40 that dosen't need it...Or the Cobra that has the spacer built in...

BTW I bought mine used and no problems....

I use an FRPP 65mm TB, but I do plan to upgrade to a 70mm Accufab at some point.

I also have a lead on a 65mm FMS TB, along with some other goodies. I have heard that this is one of the better TBs around, so that's why I am getting it for my build up.

The FMS TB has to be of very high quality because it's not really a performance part...it's a production line part. It's the throttle body used on 93 cobras 93-95 Lightnings and all 5.0 Explorers use a variant of it. A lot is at stake if one fails.

I have a Explorer 65mm TB on my car

 

[Starscream88]

I had one before I went to 70mm,

Worth it,
Much better than the 70mm vertion I have now

I think im going to sacrifice any power loss just to get my Ford one back!

I've got one, fits and looks like a stock one. No whistle, get it you won't be dissapointed.

Nice quality on the fms pice but not as nice a accafub. I have had both I have a used fms 65 mm tb for sale, used very little less than a year old . Shoot me a e mail if you are intrested, [email protected]

 

[bgjohnson]

alright cool, thanks guys. I'm gonna get it. The deal is it comes with the FMS EGR spacer and TB for 125 shipped, which I thought was a pretty killer deal, thanks for the input
