Big Bore Throtle Body, Now On It's Naughty

[cliffybabe]

So the airbox side is opened out but the side between the butterfly and the inlet manifold remain untouched?

How much of a difference would you have said this made and have you done anything else to the car?

I couldnt hammer it last night cos it was wet and i was going to loose it otherwise, but i did feel alot more responcive and a power increase was noticed aswell. Finger crosse dill be able to give it some tonight

I've also got a ITG filter and a scorpion exhaust system.

I will be adding a 6 branch shortly and a chip soon aswell

No both sides are bored out

So surely the inlet manifold hole will need to be opened to suit the increase in diameter

Cliffybaby ... sorry mate .. haven't had time to sort out picks of the powerblanket yet and I'm off to lie in the sun on a greek island tomorrow for a week.


That's the picture from the guys I buy supplies from.
Comes in at about 30 quid odd but then you should also buy a coolpipe but that's something you can get from a DIY shop.

Sounds good with the BBTB .. might be on the list when I come home.
Do you know which ECU you have? Seeing as our cars are nearly the same vintage I would be interested to find out if you come up with the same probs as me.
And it's probably a bit early to see if your fuel consumption has gone up ??
Talk me through the differences between the old diff and the new lsd .. please.

No, the hole on the inlet manifold is already bigger than the throttle body diameter.

If your ECU chip has 24 pins then let me know what you decide on.

Cheers for the power blanket pic mate, i tjhink im gonna go custom on mine watch this space joby

As for the ECU i think its a 24 i've got to have a proper look at didnt get chance tonight (sorry mate)

I would be interested about the prob's etc as the cars are the same "vintage" , Im hopefully getting my 6 branch on wed's

[cliffybabe]

I took the car out for a proper run tonight, what a difference the car feeling amazing, I cant wait to ge tmy 6 branch and chip now

The biggest thing that made it for me tonight was the serious whipping i gave a RS turbo, I left it standing, at the next set of lights he come up along side me and said nice motor mate what u running, All i could say was "6 pot with toys" his fac ehe looke dlike he was going to cry

Moart: This has gone onto a early lump 325 mate I think u should be able o fit it on a 320, ask Sal

Stu: Ur always welcome mate

Project E30: Its a straight forward bolt on mate ( dont forget a new gasket fromt the stealer a whopping 38p ), As for the body its self its a normal one bore'd out I believe (Sal would be the guy to ask)

Reggid: I've got the size differences at home ill post them up later for ya

I got the throtle body from Ste who had it on his touring he bought from Sal, Best person to see for one would be the zone shop.

Does that mean its the same as one from the zone shop?

[cliffybabe]

Reggid, it is th esame as the zone shop one mate

[Morat]

I wonder how this would go with a MAF conversion?
