come on now anyone?

 

autozone should have some different couplers. I would think if you got one like where the 3 inch tube hooks into the smaller tube, that may work. Just a thought, Let me know what happens cause I have the aem, and the throttle body is on the way.

 

You couldn't stretch it over the new TB? Maybe install the coupler off the car, put on TB, then hook CAI to the coupler.

 

nah i couldnt the coupler that came with the aem cai was WAY to small I tried to stretch it for lile 20 mins or so but couldnt do it.......

 

Steeda sells the bigger hose for the 65mm Throttle Body. Give them a call (954) 960-0774

409-0001 Adaptor Hose: $7.95
250-6352-51 Hose Clamp: $1.12

 

I thought the FC TB wasn't that much bigger then the stock.

You might also try heating up the rubber to make it more plyable. Hot water would be a good way to do that...

 

I have another question I forgot to mention earlier.......ever since I have installed my tb I have noticed a little bit of stuttering at low rpm (1800-2200 give or take) off the line and when I am cruising around town in a higher gear what could this be cuased from??? What can I do to fix it

 

Even with the Steeda adapter it is a tight fit. This is how I did mine. Put the rubber adapter around an empty soup can half filled w/water. Heat it up in a pan of water on stove until you can barely touch it. Adapter gets soft and pliable and slips on the oversize throttle body. Hold in place and clamp. I did mine off the car and was a lot easier. You can also turn the end inside out before slipping it on. Was surprised how easy it was with a little heat.

Waste your money...

In your above question you asked about a silicon seal between the TB and the manifold, did you re-use the TB gasket from your stock TB?? You should, if you didn't thats probably why you are getting surging.

 

^^^yeah i reused my stock gasket

It actually is quite a bit bigger. The factory one is 66mm, but that is the measurement of the outside diameter of the TB. The FS 65mm is measured from the inside diameter, where it really counts, the outside diameter of the 65mm is something like 83 or 84 or so, so its quite a bit larger, which is why using the AEM boot is a pain. What i did was w/ the TB off, i used a heat gun and stretched the boot over the TB, clamped it down nice and tight, installed it, then just reconnected to my CAI and was done.

 

rfinger I recommend a vibrant performance silicone couplers, I replaced both on my AEM CAI because the rubber one that came was crappy and the top one did not fit the FC TB. The measurements for the couplers are 2 and 3/4in to a 3in.

 

^^^thanks for the info........where did you get yours from a website or vendor or what??
