I want to upgrade my current tb to a mace engineering 75mm throttlebod. Never done this before is it easy? Will it negatively impact in someway? If there's already a thread for this can someone direct me to it?

Cheers

It's a vs 96 5L ute btw.

I'm on my iPhone and I double tapped post didn't mean to make two threads.

I'm guessing this was a dumb question to ask? I don't see why people that are trying to learn get criticised.

Don't know of a 75mm throttlebody, I've put a 70mm throttlebody on. Had to swap over the the linkage on top of throttlebody but other than that it's just a swap over , unbolt and bolt and plug in new one.
Did it in conjunction with installing a full exhaust . Had dyno power runs before and after, made a nice little difference

You will need a tune to suit the larger throttle body , especially if your car is an auto , the shift points will be different it'll feel like it's slipping , Mace can do these tunes as well to suit your needs . You could get a package deal , throttle body with tune plus a CAI .

Utes a manual will it hurt the car without a tune? Like I'll get the tune but just gotta save for it

If it's manual you'll be ok , but a tune would certainly help give it more push.
