Bike throttle body advice
Hello,
I am obviously new so go easy!
I have been scouring the forum for info but seem to be picking up conflicting information and ideas so thought i would start my own one!
I have a relatively clean old 1.8 mk2 mondeo which is boring however i like a challenge and to be different so I'm going to whack throttle bodies on it. seein as its not actually much heavier than a mk1 focus could still have a 'sleeper-ish' appeal
I am clearly on a budget otherwise i would still have my RST so i have a few questions which i hope i can get some help with...
Which bodies do i use?
I have seen people mainly use GSXR 750 or 1000 but is there anything else i can use?
Inlet?
Obviously bogg bros do a tidy looking manifold but ive seen people using the st170 lower section which is best?
Fuel rail/injectors?
I have seen people using the st170 ones or the bike ones, which is right if any!?
Fuel regulator?
Ive not found much on this however i know it needs to be adjustable so which do i go for?
Fuel pump?
Will my pump do the job ok?
Managment?
I was going to go megasquirt as seems popular and reasonably priced too. But how does the loom work out do i create my own (I've done this before for another project) or will the ecu plug into the original multi plug?
Think thats it for now until i think of anything else, i know its alot but it may help others too! Many thanks, Bill
