throttle bodies?

[Matt_16v]

basically should I do it on my valver?? I really love the sound that throttle bodies produce and have the money to do it but is it really worth it on a valver or should i go for a willy engine and TB that???

[Coops]

if u got the cash i'd personally go for a meggi bottom end on a valver engine and body that!

[stan]

no....you want to keep the megane head if your using the throttle bodies!

megane F7R, throttle bodies, and whatever other goodies you can afford

yep^^^


id say rather than spend £££££s on bodies, go for the 2.0 conversion first.

u will still see good gains on the valver, but the gains will be better on the 2.0.

there was a guy runnin on carbs on his 1800 at york a while back.....was runnin high 14 to low 15s iirc....which isnt bad for a valver

and if u look at martin n thats pod times u can get mid to low 14's for strippin a hybrid (meggi/willy either dont matter!!) and cammin it!!

u dont have to go to the extremes of strippin that martin has to get into the 14 deads either.

i usually run mine with just rear bench , boot carpet n spare wheel out

thanks for the feedback guys does anyone kno what power the 2 litre on tbs will run compared to the valver??
Also aren't the willy lumps quite hard to source a decent one for a decent price??
Is there anyone on the forum who will do a willy conversion into my valver for me??

cheers

How easy is it to get hold of a 2.0 williams lump?
What sort of money is it to get a conversion??
I love the look of my car and would love a 2.0 lump in it, as opposed to just going out and buying a williams.
