Title: throttlebody question
Post by: Archbish on June 09, 2008, 10:35:44 AM
What can be removed from the red area to simplify it?  Given I\'m going to be getting rid of the emissions control stuff, it\'d be useful as it\'ll free up some space for the fuelling bits I\'m putting on.

Are you mad???  That\'s the only thing holding the blue triangle (under the throttle body) against the lilac oval!!!  Idiot!! *grin*

Are you retaining both sets of butterflys?

Not planning to, as I won\'t have the emissions stuff on there (unless the Microtech needs them to control them??)

That\'s awesome!!  I\'ve used their advice for the Fuel system setup (although taken a step further...) - I should have thought of looking there!  Thanks for the heads up dude - will be doing this over the weekend I hope.

Job done!!  Just like what the website suggested - only I removed the cruise control and used the angel grinder a bit more than they suggested.... *grin*

spot the difference...
