throttle bodies

[sy84]

im looking into up gradeing my vts to throttle bodies not sure wot make to go for gmc sell a compleat kit for around £850 whilst kam-raceing do a jenvey set up for bwt £1300 will the gmc ones be just as good?

Give them a ring...or message them on here. One might be including an ecu the other might not.

I think GMC's price *may* be a little higher than that, correct me if I'm wrong John, but neither of those prices include an ECU

[Tannerman]

No it's actually a bit cheaper.until he gets rid of his current stock anyway.after that it rises to around £980 I think

ye he posted some where on here iirc he has a few left of an old batch going cheap but hes gotta put prices up with the next batch as the price on raw materials forever rises.

get em while there cheap

Imo jenveys are better than the at powers fo the ease of filtering at a decent length

As soon as you start going to longer trumpets you run into problems with the brake servo linkage as they aim quite low

Not saying there bad my motor made 185bhp on them and for the money and are prettybmuch bolt on and then with an ecu your away they work well but just something to be aware of

On a budget..


Get Andys predator and match it to the sandy brown/Colin satchels set up.

noob question but im a total novice when it comes to throttle bodies...


why do you need to run a stand alone ecu with bodies? i would of thought a piggy back chip to turn the fuel up for the correct mixture would be enough and would be able to get the most out of them?

or a simple remap on standard ecu?

May be wrong here so dont quote me but iirc the fact itbs dont use map sensors screws the standard ecu over boost your still running map so piggy backs ect are ok

Chipwizards have mapped ecus to run bodies but its not a popular way to do it as it seems they dont run as well as standalone

Difficult to convince people of the advantages of a standalone ECU over a "remapped" OE ECU at the start, but over time and any problems or further modifications, the advantages become very clear.
