FAO People with ITB's

[Fred@BTM]

especially those who have installed DIY

have you ever balanced up your bodies, or at least checked them?

maybe a daft question, but just a thought that popped into my head

 

[Cro]

Could be a good question, at a guess i'd say 99% of the guys that might install them diy probably get them mapped again, where i'd presume the mappers would do it?

 

[Fred@BTM]

indeed they should, just wondering if there's some knocking about with pissed balancing hence combined with a pissed map

 

[Bazzon]

Paul balanced ours

 

[Aron]

I think most peoples thoughts to it would be 'what is balancing?'

Mite be worth giving a descent description out Fred so people can make sure

 

[Fred@BTM]

good! there must be people that have bought new or second hand kits, wacked em on and left them thinking "that's proper bo"

 

[Fred@BTM]

you basically have to adjust the throttle butterflies so they're all in the same position (can't be done by eye)

you use an air flow meter (synchrometer) on each trumpet, and set them all to flow the same

As said mappers have done it for people i know

 

[Fred@BTM]

yeah just wondering what people have done who have bought off the shelf pre mapped kits, it would run like a bag of s**t if they were out, so they must be doing something?

Should be checked before mapping, and every few thousand miles. like you'd check the oil.

I've done this before at my old work, but that was a few years ago now. One thing i've always wondered is, how do you know what the correct flow should be? I cant remember if the flow gauge has an optimum point on it that you should be aiming for.
