What T/B to use with customs plenum
As above just wandering whats the best throttle body to use on custom inlet plenums.
Will be a zetec turbo engine ,Think I'm gunna go for the rover inlet bottom section as they line up nice with the zetec head and the ports are vertualy the same. I also make the conversion plates so the rover section bolts straight on the zetec head.. I think i'll just make a simple sqaure/rectangle box section plenum, also were can i get trumpets for the top half
current engine in my escort , planning for the new engine for my focus.

I am aiming fore the 300 bhp mark so will need a decent size T/B .
Any advice welcome.

you could 300bhp through even the smallest ever TB fitted to a standard zetec when its on a turbo.
anything around 50mm is a generally good ballpark for that power level though, if you go to big you lose resolution

yeah the rover one is a good choice sitech racing on here used a rover
bottom and had a custom plenum but he is using a new inlet manifold
now saw it in one of the ford mags
there are pictures on the sitech site here that should give you some ideas
