How much hassle is it to fit throttle bodies?? - Saxperience

danyalson · 19th January 2009, 14:43

Hi im interested in stickin some throttle bodies, well bike carbs on my mk2 vtr. The engine is about to be rebuilt, and then hav added mods such as cams and head work. I having it all carried out not by a garage but sumone who rebuilds engine and stuff so overall shouldnt be too expensive.
Any ideas how difficult it would be to fit during an engine rebuild?
Wats needed? Wanting to keep spending as low but not too low so its goin to break all the time!
Found bike carbs on ebay for lik £55?
any other ideas or suggestions

more hassle than its worse. especially wen a breathed on vtr gets smoked by a stock vts anyway

doubt it cus with r6 carbs at standard 100bhp vtr is lookin at 130bhp fitted with bodies

2000vtr · 19th January 2009, 15:05

you think adding some bodged inlet will gain you 30 bhp alone? lol

saxotourdecorse · 19th January 2009, 15:06

mines runnin 161 and i had a vtr previous. jus waited till i could get a vts rather than wastin money on a vtr. but its jus my opinion dude. i dont no how these tuned vtr' s survive a day on 8v. no wonder i dont c any at track days.

danyalson · 19th January 2009, 15:18

yeh i no dude. i wud think of waitin but my vtr needs its engine rebuilt, well i want it rebuilt. but was thinkin of puttin tb's on at the same time. most ppl go for the vts, but i using wat i hav. wantin to be different.
and 2000 nah i dont think a bodge one will jst giv it that. with the rite management and everythin, its easily possible

a well setup vtr is just as reliable as a vts to the same spec

to run bodies (dependant on type) you may need custom inlet manifolds an maybe standalone management as the sensors may be different ect

it can either be reasonably simple to drop on and plug in the sensors (if allready on standalone)
or it can be a rigt pain

good on you mate be different would think 125/130 would be achivable i am sure sophia bush said people have got 130 from a 1.4 bottom end with a 1.3 rally head so sure that power could be gained from a 1.6 to
