Default * Zetec On Bike Throttle Bodies * *! NEED HELP!*

Right then. Iv recently put a 1600cvh with a 33 cam, stage 3 head and running twin 40's in my mk4 escort bonus.
It quick but im still looking for more.
I have a 2ltr silver top zetec and i was wondering what bike throtle bodies would be suitable and what i need to fit them and run them.

Cheers People
Rob

My Mates runs a 1.8 zetec on R1 carbs with emerald management. Its a really sweet setup. I think you will have to get the carbs rejetted whatever you do though.

EDIT: Just noticed you put TB!! saying that i think my mate only used carbs because he already had a set! not sure what would go into using TB, but it gets done a lot on the kit car side of thing so it can't be too difficult/expensive!

had a westfield in today .completely std 2L on bike throttle bodies with std westfield 4-1 ex manifold and had a cat in the exhaust as well.
170bhp and 147lbft torque on omex 600.
should do the same on most other management tbh.
Go for it.

There's company that specialises in bike carbs on zetecs, Bogg Brothers i think they're called, a few of the old skool peeps use them in their motors.
