THROTTLE BODIES

[ray]

this is directed at just a few on here going to have some throttle bodies installed which are going to be crossovers this will mean making a few sets of manifolds jenvey castings the idea is to keep the trumpets as low as poss so may have a few setts to get shut of anyone up for it pm or ring

i will let you drive it tim as long as you have a pilots licence :rofl:

Low TBs was my wish many moons ago. Sadly the wrong people were chosen. (We know how that feels)

Whats the plan ray, looking for 350 bhp?

 

[ray]

cant tell ya spike i cant count that high

 

[Fred]

good luck ray, but you'll struggle keeping them that low, mine are same height from memory as the OE plenum top, but i obviously have the airbox on top

i've got all the measurements somewhere, Jenvey did ours, development costs are HUGE!

why have them crossed though?

 

[ray]

trying to keep hight down fred

 

[Fred]

you struggle, think about air filters, plus look at the rocker covers etc

also getting them to cross over is going to be a nightmare!

Maybe stop thinking only in the Y plane - consider what you may be able to do by turning them 90 degrees; you'll still have intrusion into the area above the engine but less than with the default idea of mounting them vertically.

I reckon a reworked design of the trophy inlet manifold would work. I.e, 3 throttle boddies facing forward across the cam cover and 3 back the other way. There are many other ways of course.

That's what I was hinting at - something we're looking at doing with my Trophy inlet using bike TBs. Still end up with a bunch of challenges to solve but you do minimize the amount of rear cabin area needed.

How much higher are we talking about? I recently sold my big humped engine covers to someone fitting TBs.

Brett was looking at doing this last year using triumph throttle bodies. I'm pretty sure it was because they come in banks of three's and flow really well. That's just one of the many things he has drawn up in his design books. just ask Shaun and especially Stevo

lol. bretts certainly got some great sketches..

roll on the winter..
