TAFKARM Posted September 15, 2019 Share Posted September 15, 2019 The damaged version of what you'll need to do a budget bike throttle body conversion over winter! I was running 214bhp on my Duratec with these and cams, before I dragged them upside down along the road at 40mph. They are spaced for Duratec but this is easily changed. The damage is cosmetic and the throttle operates smoothly. You'll need a new TPS to suit your engine management. The other damage is to the ports (pictured) that you'll be blanking off if you aren't using a MAP sensor. A bargain, now sold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingster Posted September 15, 2019 Share Posted September 15, 2019 As an impartial owner of similar items - I’d like to point out that the damaged bits* in that last photo will make no difference whatsoever to the way these operate. You just need to make them air tight and job done. I may also have a spare gsxr TPS lying around - need to check the garage (awaits comment from @Trevturtle) EDIT *not inc TPS in that statement as I have no idea if it works - but damage to the throttle body itself is purely cosmetic once sealed. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ricky_B Joint Kent AO Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 So what else would I need to get these up and running on my winter Zetec 2ltr conversion. Currently planning on using twin 45s Webber’s 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kingster Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 Personally. I’d buy the kit off DanST - manifold, spacer kit, inlet rubbers, trumpets etc. That’s what I have and the car runs really well. edit to add. If you are looking at Webers then your may also need an ECU to run the injection, plus mods to your fuel system to incorporate some sort of high pressure fuel pump and return. And an engine loom to suit the ECU. it’s not easy-peasy, but certainly not beyond most of us - and the result will be way better than Webers - mine has 183bhp and 175ftlb of torque. Even bearing in mind all dynos flatter their paymaster, it goes very, very well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingster Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 Also - would make a great winter project and I’ll be happy to guide you through it 👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricky_B Joint Kent AO Posted November 23, 2019 Share Posted November 23, 2019 So apart from the physical connection bits like manifold etc am I also right in saying these don’t include any Injectors? Just want to know what I am in for. I am running a mega jolt ECU but not sure if it would run an injection system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TAFKARM Posted April 26, 2020 Author Share Posted April 26, 2020 Sick of the sight of these. £30? Would make an ideal prop for anecdote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
