Blatman Posted November 27, 2002 Share Posted November 27, 2002 Is that the sound of a gauntlet being thrown down.............. Mind you, it'd be a laugh. Shame your car's only doing about 20knots max right now.......I can run faster than that....... just....... in short bursts................ very short bursts.............

Nick M Posted November 27, 2002 Share Posted November 27, 2002 *thud* Yep, if you like !! Just to make the test totally fair and comparable, I'll use a drag strip over here and you can use on in the UK. I mean, one drag strip's the same as any other isn't it ??!!

hilux Posted November 29, 2002 Share Posted November 29, 2002 I`m no expert however I consider that throttle bodies and injection should IMHO offer some power advantages particularly in mid range Carbs are ok at idle and at full revs but are always a compromise at part throttle. Therefore I would assume that injection and throttle bodies would improve consumption only in the mid range and due to accurate metering of fuel/air ratios must improve power again particularly in mid range. As I said, I`m no expert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedypip Posted December 12, 2002 Share Posted December 12, 2002 I fit the SBD 208 kit this year after running twin 45's for the last 3 years on my Vx 2.0 16v On carbs peak power was just over 180bhp but it kept going out of tune quite quickly, with the throttle bodies after a good setting up session it produced 207bhp and it's so much more drivable and torquey also at higher revs it seems much smoother and free' er revving. after 7 months it seems just as powerful as when it was first set up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
