Throttle Body

[Dave_R]

hey ed, do you have any idea where tbs is on the abf engine please,

thanks

See your air filter/box, the pipe that connects from that to the engine....you will see the tb there and what he is on about isn't on the abf engine!

Dave, what diammeter throttle body butterfly have you got on yours? I have got a couple of throttle plates here of different sizes. Might buy a second hand throttle body and get it on a lathe so i can put a bigger plate in

74mm AFM side & 64mm TB side....

I think this lot will do it mate

Cheaper from forge though!

ebay people have free shipping

Forge might still be cheaper though. I'll look into it

I think it was about £30 from forge, pre discount. Shipping won't be more than a fiver next day either

just need to do something about the breather

You gonna put a filter on it? Worse thing I ever did to my 8v, so much moisture in the oil.

That's what I did with mine! Removed the trapper inside the tb
