I've decided to go for jenvey's after comments I've read on the GTi-6 forum, I was also temted by the Supercharger Rich does.....250bhp on tap or 400bhp!!

Neil if you dont mind me asking how much did the Jenvey setup cost?

 

Spiky- I know Sandy has manufactured some custom ones in the past. Not sure about the price though.

I have still not saved up enough

 

Its going to cost a fair bit with the jenvey's + E-M3d plus other bits and bobs.....

 

Its proberbly going to be around the 2K mark thats why I was tempted by the supercharger

 

This is a package from Balance Motosport, Universal kit (not what I'm going for) for 1.5K

I am still looking at option about the injecter's etc....I'm just going to save up to 2.5K and then go buying some bits with advice from a well known engine builder......

 

I've heard got things about Sandy, but its awhile of yet anyway's

you should be able to get something like pulsar bodies to work without too much effort. you'll need to find a way of adaptnig them to the right bolt pattern, but iirc the port spacing is near as dammit them same. if you could make an adapter plate i think they'd work direct to head as it were, but then you're going to incurr machining costs.

As said sandy does a cheaper alternative, although I know he also likes to use jenveys with twin injectors and dta.

sadly I took a set of pulsar bodies down to colin satchel and sandy a month ago, they had a good look at the port shapes on the exit of the bodies themselves, they are oval and would lead to some very strange circle to oval to circle manifold.. they said it's probably not viable.

 

however

 

GSXR 1000 (2002-3) ones go for about 75 quid on us ebay though... near enough what i paid for the pulsar set and they are the right diameter, give a nice little venturi to the inlet and can be mounted up side down to get a good angle to the head.

Isn't it well documented that the ramp angle is completely wrong for a car installation on Bike 'Bodies? Giving horrible off idle control? Has anyone come up with a solution to sort this out?

Sandy and Colin have successfully designed a bike throttle body application for the TU engines.

I personally am not a fan but could be persuaded otherwise.

 

I am working with a friend to install Jenvey throttle bodies and a DTA ecu on a TU 16 valve that I will document in the appropriate section when its all complete. This package with mapping is coming in around £2000.

With the throttle bodies being around £850 of that.

[welshpug 1,661]

ones like these from sandy/colin look good, not sure exactly how much they are but I believe they are comparable to anything else out there but are made specifically for the 205 meaning extra tract length without having them poking through the bonnet.

 

[Powers 13]

That's the setup. Sandy/Colin's non bike throttle body design.

Any idea on costs?

 

P.S. Can one of the administrators edit this topic title. Spiky was pissed when he wrote it!

I also would be intrested to see what price it would be,

Iirc around £700, Sandy will probably be along to amend that though!

 

I have a a Jenvey/Emerald setup, although now not sure i'm going that route so may be up for grabs at decent money.

[Powers 13]

Spiky may be interested in just the throttle bodies at a competitive price!

Spiky can have first dibs but if its still availible PM with with a price and i'll see what I can do

i have a set of colin satchells bodies. been in my wardrobe for months now as ive been let down at the mo on my management and cant afford to buy new they are a nice bit of kit. just wish i could fitt them!

[CaptainK 11]

Awww.. throttle bodies . A bit old now this topic, but any update on them from Sandy/Colin?

[Sandy 191]

We've been pretty busy with other things lately, but a batch of XU 16v set ups would seem to be overdue! We still have a few sets of those bodies, just a case of making up the manifolds and trumpets. The inlet/bodies/trumpets/backplate you see above now comes to £650 all in. A second injector position can be added at extra cost.

Once the supply of those TB units is exhausted, we'll be developing a similar bike TB set up using the methods we've come up with for making bike TBs work well on TU engines without the usual compromises.

Sandy is this set up suitable for the 8V , what about linkages etc ?

 

I'm considering ditching the lanes and taking in some SV's next year

Might have to be added to the shopping list.....

[Sandy 191]

A good TB set up is nevber a bad idea

It's not suitable for the 8v sadly. Would could make you a custom set up if required though.

Sandy, is the TB kit suitable for a 306?

[cybernck 402 1 Cars]

Its going to cost a fair bit with the jenvey's + E-M3d plus other bits and bobs.....

if you order the complete package from Emerald, they will give you 10% 205GTIDrivers.com Discount .

[NeilGTi85 5]

Which makes the price deliverd £1458.......
