Batfink 201 Posted December 3, 2007 My Supertouring throttlebodies arrived and they are certainly some beefy items! The throttlebodies have a plastic/nylon spacer between them and the inlet manifold, then again there is another between the inlet manifold and the engine - a way of adjusting the inlet for different tracks and engine maps maybe? Inlet manifold is as straight as I think you could possibly get - not sure whether the thottlebody unit is custom made as the width is very similar to the puma tb's I have lying around and I havent taken the Longmans inlet manifold off my engine to compare angles.. I have no idea what the size of the tb's are just yet so need to get a tapemeasure on them Will certainly be interesting to see how different the power graph will be though I have no doubt that they are far from ideal for a near standard engine as i have currently Here are some pics!

Batfink 201 Posted December 3, 2007 (edited) Once I got offered them I was too curious so had to get them Would be nice if I actually got round to building the car lol But half the fun is certainly just studying the engineering and design of these parts Looking at how they are put together there is a possibility of improvement - the throttle butterflies are attached using long screws compared to the Puma thottlebodies so would interupt the flow of air more, so shorter ones may be worth getting..

Sandy 189 Posted December 3, 2007 Look like Jenvey TH bodies to me? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Batfink 201 Posted December 3, 2007 (edited) certainly similar but looking at the Jenvey site they are not quite the same http://www.jenveydynamics.co.uk/drawings/index.htm probably are made by jenvey though! I had an old set of Jenvey's on my car a few years back and they didnt look familiar when i opened the box. Edited December 3, 2007 by Batfink Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kyepan 291 Posted December 3, 2007 would like to get a look at those, compared to the pulsar ones, especially for the maifold. how does injector position affect torque etc again? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
James_R 3 Posted December 3, 2007 What's the angle like on the maniold from head face to bodies face, look like it's flat (so they point up out the bonnet) or maybe it's the picture, they look chuffing huge though Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Baz 421 Posted December 3, 2007 Yup certainly look alot bigger than the puma ones! Nice bit of kit, bet they set you back a bit! What are you doing with the Puma ones then Kev?? Oh, and slightly OT, but any chance of that bonnet back soon...? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
