Designed to make big power while avoiding the tuning issues many of the larger throttle bodies have, the VMP 163R throttle body is a great solution for those running a power adder on their Mustang or F-150 and want to push it to 1,000+ rwhp. Custom designed and properly tuned, the VMP 163R is large enough to make power, but not so large that the fly by wire electronics cannot control the blade. This avoids a “failsafe” condition often indicated by a wrench light on the dash with throttle bodies that are too large. Created for high-power applications, the VMP 163R should only be used on builds where the extra size and flow is needed. Built with the same electronics found on 2015-2017 Ford Mustangs and F-150s (designated by an F on the motor cover), the VMP 163R monoblade throttle body comes with electronics preinstalled, tested, and set. Simply bolt the VMP throttle body onto the vehicle and load the proper tune. If you use this throttle body on a Roush or VMP supercharged car you will need a 36” extension harness to replace the throttle body Y harness used with GT500 style throttle bodies. The VMP 163R monoblade throttle body may require special tuning such as minimum throttle angle (.80*) and current limit increases. Recommended for heavily modified engines such as those with aftermarket camshafts. The increased lift and duration of aftermarket cams will reduce engine vacuum, making large throttle bodies much smoother and easier to tune. May idle high (~900 rpm) on stock camshaft engines.
*Only Throttle Body
Features:
Simple bolt-on installation
May be used with Cobrajet and Roush blowers using adapter plate VMP-INA021
NO ADAPTER BOX required
Comes assembled and tested with factory digital electronics
Uses native 2015-2017 electronics for ease of tuning
Elliptical Monoblade design provides for a combination of high flow and tune-ability
Recommended for power adder applications in the 1000+ rwhp range
Size and fitment:
Based on the GT500 bolt-pattern
Opening shape is based on the VMP Gen3R supercharger
Elliptical blade measures 82 mm tall x 153 mm wide
The “163” designates the surface area of the opening. Measuring and naming throttle bodies by blade width is not accurate for flow potential, especially when the blade shape is not a true oval. VMP has chosen to designate their line of monoblade throttle bodies by surface area.
VMP Performance Dealer information
VMP Performance is very strict about who they allow as dealers. VMP Performance dealers must have experience with high performance forced induction applications and provide excellent customer service and application advice. Most online only or mail order companies are unable to qualify as dealers, but you are welcome to stop by our shop to talk about your application or view our supercharger kits.
