rex 1 Posted May 20, 2008 Hey everyone, Had a personal disaster in the 205 GTi-6 conversion last month. My house burned down! Obviosuly the 205 wasn't in there or I don't think I'd be posting right now, but I lost the wiring loom that was finished and the ECU amongst other odds and sods associated with the new project. So a friend from the UK came out to help us, and with him (presumably to eliviate my depression) brought me a complete set of throttle bodies from a Honda Blackbird saying "slap them on your bit of scrap - it'll get it going proper". Well, I've got them in my hands here and I'm already seeing the homemade manifold in the minds' eye but obviously I've never attempted anything like this before and I really must stop spending inordinate amounts of money on this project. So my question has to be is this realisticly feasible, to those with prior knowledge is it going to cost a fortune and more importantly, what's involved? Kind regards, Rex France Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kyepan 291 Posted May 20, 2008 there are quite a few companys in the uk who could make up a manifold for a couple of hundred quid.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rex 1 Posted May 20, 2008 Kyepan, Thanks, but I would be making my own . It's the ecu side of it I'm interested in hearing about....! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rex 1 Posted May 20, 2008 PS Keypan, I've got an AFM kicking about if you are still looking.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rex 1 Posted June 10, 2008 Still no takers? I thought one of you would have messed around with these are they are so easily available. Well, I've found someone to make up an ECU to make it run with these throttle bodies, but I'm not sure how long the inlet should be for optimum performance? I've been invloved with a lotus Elise running the same TB's on a K-series - the length specified by the client was 7.5 inches from the head to the end of the cornet... Anybody using any kind of TB's on a GTi6 engine out there who can give me the length of theirs?? Regards, Rex Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
richsmells 2 Posted June 10, 2008 (edited) Kate205gti on here made some before and after posts with a gti6 with and without bodies. Dreamweaver and a few others have made up custom manifolds by cutting the original manifold down, then using silicone pipes to attach the bodies. Look for Dreamweaver's project thread (now for sale ) Edited June 10, 2008 by richsmells Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
