What throttle body?

No, not in the key of C. An H is likely involved though ...

What throttle body?

Post by A1ex » Tue Apr 24, 2012 7:39 pm

So...

Going to quietly start collecting parts for the lude out of some of the cash I raise ( feel like I need to siphon a little off the house fund :) )

Will need a bigger TB at some point as part of later tuning, any recommendations? I was looking at a 70mm S2 one on ebay US for about 80quid. Anybody have one of these? Are they any good?

Also, does anyone have a larger TB for sale? I've already got a 62mm installed.

Have a look at getting one milled out maybe alex? there is a guy advertises on ebay iv seen. he strips it down and gas flows it to a max or 68mm i think? if you go too big your bottom end is going to suffer badly.

Excellent :lol:

On a more serious note though, is 68mm the biggest you can really go then before needing serious work?

:lol: should have read that back at least once.

i have heard 68 is probs the biggest you want if you need unless your looking at spending 90% of the time in the top 25% of the rev range. track cars etc. otherwise you get bogged down in the lower range. cant tune for both unfortunatly
