Jenvey Problems

[johniban 59 1 Cars]

I have a really tiny annoying problem i cant solve..

 

researching on my problem, i came across someone else with the same problem but didn't have any answers.

 

I have purchased the pq2 lever and fitted it but the lever on the other set of bodies that joins to this one is too short, how do i get around this? or do i get the welder out and try my best to 'poshly' weld it longer.

 

simlar to this picture of stolen off the web

When ever I have fitted jenveys I've always had to cut it to length. They are generally long for varying applications. I'd speak to Jenvey about it.

As above, they are normally longer than that and require cutting, as you can see in the photo from this article: http://www.205gtidrivers.com/articles.html/_/articles-guides/engine-related/fitting-jenvey-throttle-bodies-to-mi16-r28

Definitely dont weld it! you'd never get the bodies balanced!

 

how much shaft is protruding? if you shift both levers to the end of the shafts you might get enough.

 

mine was nowhere near as long as the one pictured above on the red bodies.

the original lever that came with the bodies to run one of them big linkages was long like the one shown in jacks picture, but now ive had to remove that to fit the pq2 lever witch doesn't have the length required.

 

I cant go right to the end of the shaft as the spring will fall off.

 

I'm not using that type of linkage Jack, the PQ2 lever doesn't come with that much length on it

[welshpug 1,657]

quite odd, got the same lever on my bodies without any issues at all, which inlet manifold?

[johniban 59 1 Cars]

Got a pic of yours? i may have something wrong, its the satchell inlet

the picture in the opening post is mine from this thread: http://forum.205gtidrivers.com/index.php?showtopic=159366

 

apologies John I never noticed your post on there from the start of the year. I thought I was the only person to have this issue. I ended up extending the one the levers, can't say whether it will work or not when it comes to balancing them but hey ho.

 

will get a picture up as soon as i can

ah ok Geoff thanks

I moved my Jenveys from a Longmans/Jenvey manifold to a Satchell one and while they were slightly further apart it was only a mm or two and the linkage still worked fine.

[welshpug 1,657]

same here, no issues, are they used?

 

extending the lever wont be an issue but dont weld them together

 

should be pics in my project thread

[johniban 59 1 Cars]

cant extend the lever without welding it, its a new satchell inlet and new jenvery 45s, just changed to a pq2 lever

[johniban 59 1 Cars]

ill have to investigate, they got to come off anyway i need to make a throttle linkage bar

[welshpug 1,657]

I meant don't weld the two bodies together, welding a bit onto the end of one lever will suffice.

[johniban 59 1 Cars]

haha i didn't mean welding them together, i just meant cutting the little lever bar and extending

[welshpug 1,657]

Best picture I have of the cable stop and the lever arms, there's enough overlap on mine.

Not having the ability to weld I had to drill and bolt.

 

[welshpug 1,657]

genius wonder why mine is fine?!

[johniban 59 1 Cars]

Are yours a different model of bodies Mei?

 

I have them black bodies the same as Geoff and as his pic suggests the two banks of bodies seem further apart weather they are slimmer/lighter i don't know

That looks a bloody good mod there Geoff, ill probably do the same sort of thing,

Actually, i do have the old lever that has a longer bit on it i may cut that off and see what i can do with it

[welshpug 1,657]

Mine are 91mm long "TH" I think most run 118mm long "TB" though.

 

They are identical bar the length of the body, I think all the extra length is at the front so better suited to using Pico length injectors with a flat backplate, you can run the full length injectors with a stepped backplate on mine.

 

 

edit, just looked up on the Jenvey PDF's, the bolt pattern and bore centreline is identical, but the spindle overall length is shown at begin 6mm longer, no idea where that 6mm comes from though.

ahh ok i see! just need to do a bit of head scratching i think

[timoth123 37 1 Cars]

Just got a reply from Jenvey about the PQ2 lever, apparently there's a LH and RH version.

 

I'm running an EW engine in a 205, any ideas which variant I need?

[johniban 59 1 Cars]

i just asked for a pq2 lever didn't get a choice

[timoth123 37 1 Cars]

Hmm, strange! This is the reply I got.....

 

Good morning Tim,

The levers are not listed on the web site, which side lever operation do you need?, LH or RH, these are priced at £29.20.

 

I hope this helps?

 

Kind regards,

thats a bit expensive!

 

myself and dcc just ordered the bodies and requested the direct pull lever not the linkage type, turned up and bolted straight on, made a cable stop bracket, sandy adjusted the lever to allow proper W.O.T.
