oh what to do now?

[weejimmy]

thanks to a little suggestion by a certin someone on here ive removed my air con, and power steerin, i still need to join the two pipes up on the power steering but any way.
im now a addict.
what else dont i need?
ive got a single turbo and im waiting on an intercooler coming, my pall is making up a new inlet pipe to throttle body as the gready one dosent have a great angle on it.
i was wondering about removing the double throttle. BUT if i do how on eart does this work , shurley there will be loads of air with nothing stoping it just going into my engine?
as only 1 small buterfly on the botom is left? is this ok , how does it work?
can i just knock up a complete new inlet mainifold with 1 big say 90mm round throttle body?
would this work well?
confused :Hammer

i wondered the same but my butterflys have been removed and iv ported the plenum.. still needs a bit more porting tho lol.. but u really need to do the lim to just to get the best gains.. better n more flow the better i say.. that a speed up yer turbo spool

whats she like with no power steering? still waiting fer the royal mail to deliver ma bolt

[weejimmy]

oh no speak of the devil lol
not a problem at all.
i was pondering it then i thought my capri proberly weighs more than my rex and it dont have power steering and my mum used to park it so i decided to stop being a big girl and rip it out. its not heavy at all.
whats a lim inlet mainifold of some L description?

mm,

my knightsports lump has got ported upper and lower im\'s

just need to get the mapping finished then can run it in mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm....

[weejimmy]

is that ported standard mainifolds?
just port matched at joins or full whack?
i was thinking about making a complete new from scratch with slightly wider pipes in s/s for shiny effect then 1 single round tb

[strange_days_uk]

matched at joins

[weejimmy]

cool
im still runing car in too
its a nightmare cant boot it till i get sum more stuff on it thoe. then 500 miles
back to pip for final map and he will let me rev it past 4k and give me some boost woooo hooo

[weejimmy]

lim = lower inlet mainifold ? interloper?

[interloper393]

weeelll.. what u want then is...... buy the cosmo lower intake manifold, plenum and port them, standard cosmo ports are way bigger and u cn port um even more WOOHOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! kk ma power steerings going bye bye bye bye bye bye

[weejimmy]

oh and what is this do ? and why dose it not have a pipe on the end?

[weejimmy]

but i could just weld up a new one any size i want for much cheaper.
ie my full exhaust and boost pipes are gona cost me less than £150
so inlet would be around £60 + throttle body.

[interloper393]

thats yer double throttle man.. maybe yours have been removed already? u cn rip that off n plug the hole..

U saying im abad influence like?

[weejimmy]

well no offence but yes.
see i thought that was my D/T mayb pip took it out.
sweet, so if i rip that off weld up the hole and take the top 2 butterflys out not much will change?
what about where the linkages join to the normal throttle on the other side ? can i take these off to just leav me with the 1 connected to the lower butterfly?
job for 2morow then, i love being off collage lol plenty time to get bust knuckles.
ps cheeres for the help man youve been top notch

[interloper393]

u cant remove the tb butterflys but all the rest cn be removed and all ports can be ported, use the standard gaskets and line then up, u`ll see all that cn be cut away theres a fair bit lol..

as your still running your engine in and not boosting, the changes wont effect your car at the mo, but pip will map acordingly when u get it remaped after the run in.

I noticed far better throttle responce when i riped all mine out and ported it all..
