Throttle Bodies - The Clock Is Ticking

[Roamer]

Well guys, I no longer have my car, it is now in the hands of others for the devine ritual, and I will be keeping a close eye on it (hopefully) whilst its away by means of the Williams 1 Im picking up tomorrow, so in the meantime, thought you guys might like to see whats been going on, so have a look here http://www.roamer.com/car/Throttle%20Bodies/http://www.roamer.com/car/Throttle%20Bodies/ for the photo album, and just to tell ya, theres shots of my car without its grill or cover, and some shots of the lovely new bits of metal which have just been finished for it.

So, it all starts here - watch this space for more info as it comes in, hopefully a post per day.....

Yeah its lonely at the top! But I personally cant wait to see what this TB beast is gonna be like - John, make sure you leave the filters off so I can see those 4 bad boy throttle plates going when you rev it!

 

[Nick Read]

btw it looks hardcore without the grille. Dont put it back!

They have Clio V6s

 

[geoff_clio182]

I have a BM with over 200bhp but there again it is a diesel....doh!

 

[Roamer]

Hehe, well guys cheers for the support LoL

Hopefully if I sort the tax out on the willy today Ill be going up to see the progress, so pictures will be posted obviously.

Nick - I cant wait either, fingers crossed weve got the choices right, and the output will be worth the time, effort and worry LoL

 

[Roamer]

Well, not going to make it up there today, but going up tomorrow, had a chat with them, and it seems as if its going well, a few engineering things to get round, but theyve managed to get the manifold, bodies and the 90mm air horns to fit (JUST!) but gotta look at moving things to get them to fit with an airbox on it, and we might have to change the injectors to get the flow rate up, but this again has to be checked... so pictures should come tomorrow.

OH, and if anybody has got an idea on how I can transport the car down on saturday from bridgenorth to Uxbridge cheep (less than £200) please let me know, as Im getting stuck on this one.

 

[Tom]

[Roamer]

Worth a try

Dont you know any one with a low loader ?

 

[Nick Read]

errrr.... take the ECU out and leave a load of loose wiring, then ring up and say your cars been broken into and someones run off with your ECU?

 

[Matbrown]

Ask Paul Mitchell,

Sure hell do it for a fee.



Mat.

 

[Roamer]

Well, heres the update guys, the car is looking better than I thought it would, and Im pretty happy all in all, but its looking like it may not make York - but Id rather get it right than do it fast.

Weve ordered a new slim radiator fan because the standard one gets in the way, and weve ordered an airfilter block for it too..... ok piccies are available at http://www.roamer.com/car/Throttle%20Bodies/http://www.roamer.com/car/Throttle%20Bodies/

More info on monday

@roamer

try to fit the bonnet of a 1600 rally clio (group N) there is a space in the bonnet for air, cause a 1600 rally comes with those kind of TBs.



cheers
