throttle body on a vtr turbo?

[james-c2-vtr-turbo]

hi do you think it is a good ider to put throttle body on a turbo car because i am thinking about puting so on my turbo vtr?
is there any one selling some?
what about R1 OR CBR600 THROTTLE BODYS???
thanks:y:

Are you seious?

Im not even sure you know what a turbo'd car looks like mate i think you best have a good long think about your first post

[Scott]

erm why should he take a good long at his first post? Perfectly good question? The old pulsar gti r (one of the performance nissans anyway) ran bodies and turbo as standard

Answer is yes you can put throttle bodies on the turbo car, a few people make kits and you could use a bike kit but will obviously take more fabrication, need to move to stand alone management as well which is no bad thing

[S34MER]

i always wondered if it was possible to run T/B's on a charged car too mate, so thanks for clearing that up scott!!

[vtr_driver]

The TB's would need to be adapted to cope with the build up of boost. Its definitely possible though.

Guy on Retro Rides is using bike TBs on his supercharged Hillman Imp.

How is it possible though cause i thought all a throttle bodie does is pull in there own air for each inlet so would the turbo push into all 4 inlets via a trumpet like manifold? i cant see there been much point and what sort of gains is there and why isnt seen much if its something what will increase performance massively

sybez runs throttle bodies adn supercharger. Was 220 at the wheels but hasnt been reran as it isnt finished yet as far as im aware.

Custom plenum across the 4 bodies. Same advantage as throttle bodies on N/A where each cyclinder is pulling the air in it needs where it may have been robbed of some in a single TB setup. Few other advantages to

[shaggers_saxvtr]

I dont know the ins and outs about it but, if you can do it, I'll sure be impressed :)

[GrantW]

I was wondering this also, so is it easier to set bodies up with a supercharger?

[turbo_dave]

Only if it's a centrepetal charger like the Rotrex. Using a twin screw positive displacement blower lands you in a whole world of hurt.

Makes no difference what's providing the positive manifold pressure really. You're gaining better and more immediate throttle response due to being able to more accurately control the 'slug' of air closer to the inlet valve than you can with a single TB and a plenum.

Only tricky bit is getting the throttle balanced, which seems to be a downfall for most people...

I'd like to see this mate, ill be impressed also!

So I take it at present (from your name ant the nature of the question) your already running a blower on the 16v C2 lump.

Pictures of the engine bay and type of kit already fitted may help people to work out whatelse can be done to the engine your running at present.

:y:

If your already blown, better intercoolers and better placement of the induction system could see a better pound for pony gain, again pictures would help

TBs on boddies is becoming a better move. I know of a chap who bought a set of boddies just last weekend for £500. Fitting is a piece of piss and if you had a top mapper on it the gains would be worth it if you're already throwing that much at charging your engine. Not worth it if you've already set it up though and are planning no other changes

[super_moo]

How much are throttle bodies? and what modifcations to a virtually standard engine would have to happen if any? how much performance would be gained from a throttle body on m mk2 vtr?

[bullit]

bodies and all the rest of it your looking around 3 or more grand

[CampDavid]

You're looking at £1500 before mapping and are only worth it on VTS's with lairy as fuck cams

[james-c2-vtr-turbo]

thanks for your comments on this my mate is selling some you c for £150 with the manifold and thay have been tested and thay are all OK will get some pictures of them when i fit them to the car and i will put them on to show you all how it is going thanks james

[stiffler69]

Appologies for my first comments in this thread i was a bit rude and didnt really understand if this was something that could be done seems i upset someone sorry guys

[VTRcraig]

go for it, will be awesome!

Dude WTF check the dates of all these threads!? March 2007.
