throttle bodies experience

[ahmet]

i want to know how is throttle bodied clio driven in a town?is it pain in the ass or much easier because of high torque.mine is finising in 2 weeks.the parts just completed now.any recommendations,experiences...

 

[Fred@BTM]

depends how good the map is

i find the alcon paddle clutch the biggest pain

mines fine around town, using it as a daily driver at the mo, idles nicely, just more of a grumble sound to it. sounds a bit like an amersican muscle car. fuel sonsumption is good too, unless you really go for it

mine's poor in town driving as it stutters and shudders about under constant throttle acceleration at 2-3.8k rpm, so remap is due!

 

[Ricardinho]

how is your cold starting? mine seemed to be fine at 5 degrees so far

do you feel much quicker ?i know your car only 200 bhp but how is the power delivery now?

mines like a normal valver mate. no probs at all.

idles and drives perfectly at all revs! very nippy in town hehe!

You don't get huge torque gains with bodies.

Jon - I didn't get the stutter problem when owning it, that does sound like mapping. I was really impressed with omex as was expecting the judder but was pretty smooth. The only thing I had to get used to was how sensitive the accelerator was and found myself kangarooing around a bit to start with.

aye throttle responsive is loads sharper, but as said, if set-up properly it will be equal/better than std on the driveability front.

what cams are you going to be running mate?

you dont get huge torque gains from bodies!!!???

Thats all you get in technical terms, mad torque gains!

Where in the rev range would you expect to see gains in torque?

 

[BenR]

everywhere.

Compare the plenum to bodies in any spec and you will gain if done correctly.

there might be a point at low rpm on extreem cam setups, but nobody will experience that as its not a road car.

I think my old car was something like 170lb.ft peak with itbs. That's not huge at all considering many are touching that if not more on the std inlet mani/plenum.

*so the dyno says
