  • Difference in TB Size

    Is there a difference in cfm of rwd 2.8 / 3.4 throttle bodies.

    You need to multiply it by the VE than divide it by 1.5hg's. Per the Holley book, a single barrel TB has a VE of 1. (this is assuming a round faced single barrel TB. An oval faced TB could have a higher VE by design and then would have higher CFM rating)
    So as an example we'll use the stock Fiero TB.
    52mm is 2.05" throttle plate has 3.3sq/in which is 462, X VE (which is 1) is 462. Divided by 1.5 = 308 CFM.


    65mm=2.56" = 5.15sq/in = 480cfm
    62mm=2.44" = 4.67sq/in = 435cfm
    58mm=2.28" = 4.08sq/in = 381cfm
    56mm=2.20" = 3.8sq/in = 354cfm
    52mm=2.05" = 3.3sq/in = 308cfm


    Figure out the TB sizes and do the math. It will at least give you a basic idea.

        3.4 IIRC is 52mm. I don't think it was 56mm. 3400 ones are, but I think the 3.4l RWD was 52mm. Can't tell you about the 2.8 rwd at all! lol
