Aren\'t you the lucky one. Haveing a time to leave your place off work enforced by your neighers. just after one and i am home the question is to sleep or not to sleep?

Not much point CJR - I better pack now

\'Red\' car 60 miles nearer to Avon Park, bit down on power due to stupid time scale of getting it back together but dog box is the most awesome bit of kit

Altho I cant actually hear any thing atm...

Really Excellent news Tim, see u tomorrow :wave

Hi sorry for digging up an old post although seeing as how this car is now running super quick I reckon it is quite relevant. I am using a turbo II throttle boby on the morris minor and after having a good look at it last night I was wondering/hoping that there might be a fair bit of stuff that could be removed to de-clutter it. The pair of really slow to open butterflies....can they be removed?  I have been looking as much as I can to the pics of your throttle body set up but cant quite make it out, i.e what you have removed.
 any advice would be great, but if they are all trade secrets then fair due.
 cheers, michael.

Also might be kinda cool to move this thread to the 1st gen section? possibly, although any possible throttle body mods for more power might be welcomed by the 2nd gen brigade also I guess.

You can remove the extra butterflies,and the shaft,then weld up the holes where the shaft was.I have a single throttle position sensor,which simplified the linkage a lot.The throttle dampers have gone.
The purple peril now has an RX8 gearbox,6 speed,an OS giken twin plate clutch,FD propshaft uj\'s,FD diff flange,and standard diff,with egi LSD,and I am running smaller diameter drag tyres.
Going to SCR on Saturday to do a 10 second run,before Mr 10 second Ellis does.:rollin

Shakespear this coming Saturday ? the 28 Oct ??:wiggle

[Timrxmotors]

Yes,do come along,should be quite a few there.

[oldone]

[travellinbob]

Awesome, cheers for that Tim, hope the weekend was good to you at the track.
 cheers, michael.

Are you trying to get a part in Eastenders or something?

[travellinbob]

Tim what kind of throttle position sensor do you use? Do you sell them?
  Let us know when you have time. Oh and how fast was it on the weekend???
 cheers, michael.

Hi Tim,

I\'ve been interested in your intercooler free set-up for a while, just wondering whether your WI is pre turbo or post, and what sort of air temps your seeing?

[A7NTY]

I can answer a little bit for tim here I think, intercooler free is a BAD idea imho, tim has been seeing 150o intake temperatures I am sure an air cooler of some description is his next mod, im hoping it will be matt strapped onto the bonnet blowing on the turbo piping.

I think he likes to reserve Matts energy for blowing something else.
