Throttle Bodies

[Plattsy]

Who do throttle bodies for valvers/williams?

[BenR]

me and many others.

Its best to talk to someone about exactly what you need rather than just 'buying' some as you always end up with it either not fitting, not having all the parts needed, or just being poor quality.

[Plattsy]

weber n jenvey probably the best known.

sorry to hijack the thread, but what are TB's?

i've always wondered and was about to start a thread.

most n/a cars have a single throttle body with a filter which flows air into the engine via the inlet manifold.

throttle bodieS are individual per cylinder so instead of having one, on a 4 cylinder car you'll have 4 throttle bodies, 1 per cylinder.

the noise they make is awesome and if done properly with other modifications produce good power.

is that ur engine craig? if so where did u get ur red leads from and price?

[Lunner]

Just a random guess, but i'd say they are Magnecore KV85's :wink:

[Craig]

yeh its my engine!

currently in the garage as the KENT cams failed busting my valves etc!

Lunner is right about the leads but it doesnt have them on anymore, as they are from a fiesta lol!

now has standard 172 leads with a 172 coil pack :)

[northy]

[rt_blackpool]

how much were they to fit and who did them craig, they look awsome!

do u think it'll be ready for FCS? it love to see and hear what it looks like in person :D

[Craig]

Bens been busy and on his own at the mo!

He said he can hopefully sort it end of this month, which would be good as im dying to get it back, especially for the summer! Im not going to the FCS though!

Im off to Nurburgring next week, but going with a friend as a passenger now.

BenR from Angelworks did the work. Top job as well, its only broken due to Kent cam pulleys being shit!!! which were the choice of the guy that owned it before me. Cost is a good few £k, but its great fun, and has around 240hp/ton. 13.4@104mph :)

that with standard bottom end

[bigjim]

craig thought it was the pulleys that failed not the cams?

[stew]

...only broken due to Kent cam pulleys being s**t!!! which were the choice of the guy that owned it before me.....
