R1 throttle bodies?

[_Jon_]

does any one know whether R1 throttle bodies with converted saxo inlet manifold are any good? and what needs to be done?

Thanks Jon

I have seen a few progress threads with the r1 bodies. I am sure bogg brothers done the inlet manifold?

yeah I know it can be done and where to get manifolds made up etc... I just wanted to know whether they where actually good gains out of it?... and what has to be done to set them up

for the price you can get at power bodies or even the colin/sandy gsxr set up, there really isnt much point in spec'ing up a set yourslelf anymore......unless you can do all the machining/manufacturing of all components yourself

how much does colin and sandys gsxr setup cost? and the at power bodies setup?

the AT Power bodies go for around 900 -1200 depending on filters and fuel line

think colin/sandy set up is around £600-£700 (IRC)

[blackie_2k5]

when i last checked on colin sandy set up it was about £500 plus the bodies, can pick them up beween £40-200

hmm well im not going for the maximum possible out of bodies just want something better than standard so the Colin/sandy set-up sounds pretty good for me how can I get hold of them?

Ok R1 bodies are too small, I used R6 bodies which were 36 or 38mm iirc then machined them out to 42mm with custom butterflies. All that effort and work was more than buying a pre made gsxr sandy brown kit. Plenty of second hand body kits are kicking around cheap

thanks for help everyone can now get in contact with sandy/colin so will do that asap!

I disagree, i used R6 bodies (38mm) on my old setup and had no problems, and they certainly arent restrictive.
The AT power bodies are also 38mm, but tapered to suit the inlet port of the cylinder head.

Advice for the thread author, going by your requirements.
I would go for a set of AT power bodies and a predator ecu. And either a pair of cat cams 708s, Newman PH3's or Piper equivalent.
All plug and play and nice and easy to setup.

If you want to go chasing horse power then a sandy/Gsxr setup would be more suited so you can play with the induction length.

Think im gunna go for the sandy Gsxr set-up mate thanks for the input
