I've got a S1 inlet that's having a Fuel rail fabricated to allow injectors for manangment conversion ..im wanting to know what throttle body is everyone using ..ive seen cosworth ones being used ..but there mega bucks now ..is anyine else using anything different that's cheaper and easier to get hold of ?


Many thanks Mat.

 

Fiesta turbo throttle body would be fine mat and pretty cheap or go for a cfm 76mm one there a few hundred quid for a zetec and have a plate welded on to match throttle body holes. I used a fiesta rs 1800 inlet and a fiesta turbo throttle body as I used ofab management and it allowed for manual adjustment of the throttle plate so I binned the idle speed control valve.

Cheers paul

 

What about a Vw vr6 one, should be plenty of those around

What do the cossie ones go for?

 

VR6 is a good shout, you need an early pre 1995 body as the post 95 had a stepper motor for idle control.
VR6 TBs are 75mm IIRC.

Should be able to pick one up cheaper than this tbh...

Thanks Gents ill have a look into those few

 

Seen only one on eBay and I don't want to pay 250 ..its gone mad.

 

Is this the right one mate ?

 

Yes that's an early one. Ł35 bargain.

Fook that heat shield off

 

Sound cheers mate ..the heat shield is bin fodder.

 

you are using a link storm matt arent you?

dont they support flyby wire ,so maybe a audi tt or rx8 one .

 

Yea I'm installing storm ..but I'm going to run s1 inlet on a cheap easy to fit throttle body first ..untill further in the year when ill go for a bespoke inlet mate .

 

Mat I used a s2 inlet with s1 throttle body and fitted a jenvey /Colvern throttle position sensor from emerald. Blanked the aux air device outlet off so no idle valve ..set the cold /warm up idle in the ecu .might need to adjust the flap stop to give enough air on tickover.

 

Someone told me same yesterday saying they used a s2 TB and just dis away without a ISCV ..just mapped out in the way or something ...i might have a cosworth TB coming cheap ..fingers crossed .

 

Let me know if you need a throttle body as I have a large cossie one.

 

Got any pics you can pm me mate ? .

 

I will try to remember to take a pic today

 

Does anyone know if you can run 4x4 and 2wd Tb and differences ..as I've seen a 4x4 cosworth one aswell .

 

Top man mate .

 

only gone through some old cosworth spares in the loft and got a nice 2wd TB..just no iscv or Tps

 

matt i bought a ecu the other week off madmatt on here and he threw in a tps for free so your welcome to it mate .

im just returning your favour from a few year back with the comp centre caps


just pm me your address and i will try get it in the post tommorow

 

Please mate that would be awesome ..really appreciate that ..let me know the postage mate ..and I did the same other week with a guy with a fucked metering unit ..just gave him my spare working one ..he couldn't thank me enough ..

 

no prob matt ,what goes around comes around

 

Thanks mate ..its what us genuine petrol heads do

 

posted this morning matt,should be with you in a few days

 

CheeRs mate can't thank you enough.

 

no prob matt

 

I did this

 

Im after my s1 inlet doing the same for fuel rail next month is this something you can do mate ...looks well.

 

Machining the inlet was a pain to be honest. What injectors are you intending to use?

 

I'm going to use deka 60lb mate ..im finding it hard to find someone to make it into a fuel rail s1 inlet

 

Any particular reason why s1 and not s2 ?

 

Yea the s1 one breaks down 2 piece and can be ported better and better for welding the brackets etc on .
