If i fit R6 throttle bodies to a VTS engine, what is needed, r6 bodies, manifold of gmc and what else? also to anyone who has tried it, what needs modifing, does the fuel supply go into the bodies them self?

injectors, fuel rail, inlet manifold, trumpets, filtration, ecu, mapping, throttle cable, throttle quadrant.

these are some things you need to consider.

do you still need a fuel return, i looked at kms bodies and may be a better option, Also what are decent cams to run with bodies?

how long is a piece of string? how much money do you have? really as wild as you can budget is where they come into their own

its not just cam choice to think about though, if you go too hardcore with your engine then gearbox choice will come into play.

only if going over 200bhp and really peaky really though, and not many people on sax-p have ££££ to do that

yours ok with an OE box? yours not on the limit of a 'proper' gearbox?

803s are not massively peaky, it doesnt drop out of the powerband on gear changes, although the engine produces good torque low down on request of ian when he got matt to beuild it

If i went for something like 811s then maybe things would be a bit different.
