I have an Automatic throttle body on my 5sp....It does work very well it gives me better throttle response. The manual throttle body is 49mm as to the auto being 52mm in size. I have no problems with it.

 

wouldn't it be better to put a 60mm one on instead ??

 

The 52mm from the auto is fine for mild mods on a MTX. If you go turbo or build the motor, there are 55mm and 60mm abailable.

 

The TB's from atx DOHC's and SOHC's are the same, although the TPS is different. Just a matter of swapping sensors as needed.

Decent upgrade. I will be putting the mtx TB spring and cam onto the atx TB because it's just too jumpy. I don't mind so much on the street, but jerking/bouncing around cones at 50 mph in 2nd gear bites... Like mentioned, more than 52mm without forced induction is really a waste. 52mm flows plenty to support even a nicely built 170+ whp n/a car.

Best of luck!

 

Why would you switch the cam and spring, they should be the same.

 

I have a friend who builds DSM's and tells me that the throttle body from a Cherokee can be bolted on with no fab and is 55mm. I'll get the details and post back.
