mine has ITB's...
but cue 10 pages of people who dont have, haven't been in/seen a car with them on claiming it's a waste of money blah blah blah.
This is what ITB's do... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7eHiMhZpYrA

lift number 1 @ btm
chill jesus. i'm only playing. (you do get excited though:rasp: )
itb's are definately the way to get the most out of an n/a engine. and arguably the most driveable way of going about it too. they need very accurate setting up, and are expensive. but are the way to get everything out of an engine.
drhowser - that wasn't aimed at you dude, that was more a general comment for the usual fuckwits that come on these threads claiming they know what they are talking about.
Gammer - it's running about 225bhp(ish) and was done by Andy over at GDI (www.GreyDevilIndustries.com). Other people do these conversions as well, but I'm pretty sure this one has covered more miles that all of them combined since it was converted almost 40k ago and is still on a stock engine. ie no bottom end or top end work at all and I use it daily. So if you want it doing in a timely fashion and properly they are the obvious choice and as they are partnered with Omex you wont get a better running map imo.
As drhowser says, this is easily the most drivable conversion as the power is throughout the rev range and it's very easy to live with (especially the noise)

whats the mpg like with tb's?
thinking of saving up for some next year sometime
cheers
Having a Trophy has actually saved me money, because if it wasn't for the fact I want to keep my car standard because of what it is, I'd have spent LOADS on stuff like this by now!!
Although now the problem is I'm tempted to get a separate 172/182 project car so I can do stuff like this... HEEEEEEEELP! :S

Buy my cup dude...

throttle bodies are shite! Nah, just kidding my good friend. I always said one day I would have throttle bodies just like Roamer's old car. I love the noise from them! The turbo came along so will be no more.
Arn't you sposed to be saving your monies?
Fiat Coupe 20v turbo
Was that just after the respray Fred looks very cleangives you an idea Bloooor
yeah it's not cheap, £3750 starting price, but it's fun blowing away the supposedly quicker cars

ITB's are installed with cams (usually, you can just bolt them on alone if you want) and the standalone has to be mapped anyway.
manifold is already stainless and seems good, I'm not bothering with the 182 one as mine makes good power as it is without that expense tbh. but ITB's are a huge difference over stock, as tested against my missus' old breathed on Clio... which I could give a huge headstart and just reel it in immediately and pass it for fun lol

It's a good a car as any to mod mate. At least it has a decent chassis!
Jon, 40bhp and oodles more torque low down would make easy work of a standardish ph-quick!
Just a quick one The Jesus, wasn't this chris k's old car? I thought it only had the throttle bodies fitted just before last years FCS. Does that mean you've done 40k miles in just over a year?
gives you an idea Bloooor
Looking at that I think you could angle the bodies so that they stuck under the slam panel.
You could use an airbox over the bodies so you arent sucking warm air off the back of the rad and get a cold feed into it from the right hand side above the radiator. No cutting of bodywork or bonnet pins required.
An airbox like this
Position this above the rad to pick up cold air to supply the airbox.
Jenvey do some angles so you can bend the inlet downwards.
I have looked into this and think its possible but you need aircon removing and a custom rad as per the Yozzasport car. Not a cheap solution but space permitting you get a longer inlet length and colder air.
If any of the tuning companies want to buy the parts I would be happy to develop the kit for them
.No it was the year before, as I took it to FCS last year mate. I've done about 17k in it already and it's my daily driver to work plus I regularly drive to the other end of the country to see mates and stuff, so it's been a pleasure really.
Markm - that airbox looks funky, who sells that as my filter is fucked pretty much and wont survive another de-greasing I dont think.

Funky but then it should be for £400 (you need a filter to go over the end and the backplate).
