Any one do a big bore throttle body? Looking to ditch the fly by wire, Cant even bash through mud puddles without it cutting power.

Also big bore throttle body would free up some hp.

Any thoughts?

Do you have the Sport Low harness?

What we need is a brp black box that eliminates the shaft saver (what's cutting the power) raises the rpms and kicks the coolant fan on earlier

A tb from a vw passat works you can find them on eBay for 30$

I haven't felt the shaft saver in my Mav yet, but when i had my commander I felt it all the time. Especially when climbing tall steep dunes, sometimes when jumping or power sliding, pretty scary when your power sliding and the throttle lets off - . I ended up putting a K&T black box in the commando and cured everything. But I was told it wouldn't work with the Mav so i sold it. Like I said I ride in the exact same places/style & haven't had an issue yet. Curious if you guys are just noticing it in the mud, 2wd/4wd or when just riding hard w/normal terrain?

I had my Mav cut power on me multiple times, mostly if I try and fly through puddles, Or lift a tire off the ground alittle bit.

Also I think it would help a lot with the jerky throttle response, would it help it off the line too? These machines are not instant off the line like a throttle cable machine.

I think muzzy's has a black box you can plug in that works.

I havent noticed it at all on mine.

 

[WVRidgeRider]

I'm yet to really notice it and I hydroplane over mud holes a bunch

Mine doesn't cut power and I'm wide open everywhere I go. The only thing is when I jump it bumps the rev limiter.

There's a few things you can do to prevent the power cutting. Like mentioned above get the sport low mode I have it and it makes a world of a difference for $200. (Arcticbomb on eBay) if you don't find this to be enough you can contact monster tuning and get a tune monster it totally over ride the existing Ecu and removes all governors if you want. You won't get the power cuts anymore forsure. This would be good for the guys that are jumping too and complaining that it'll cut the power when they are in the air as well.

Another thing I just thought of is the Guys that have the turbo kits for the mavericks are changing the whole intake system and the throttle body too. Maybe if you put their throttle body on your machine it would fix ur issue as well I dont know tho.

I'm 100% with you. My Commander was ridiculous on the whoops before I purchased the K&T BB. On my Maverick I don't notice it at all. I'm not even sure a black box would make much of a difference.

Damn, those look exactly the same. What is the mm size difference?
After installed no code problems?

 

[Canamxteam]

I think it's a 58 mm and you just switch the black cover off your stock one to the vw tb 700 miles and no codes yet

 

[Canamxteam]

What's the stock mm?
