Throttle bodies we are talking about here are single throttle per cylinder type - like DCOE's but fitted with injectors. Carbs would be ok though - this engine spec should hit 200hp quite easily with a well built engine. Rob
Joe, it'll be interesting to see vellys power runs with the carbs the k-jet should provide more accurate fuelling and thus a better power spread, really over carbs but i haven't seen any carb plots yet to see.
Hmm I was thinking the DCOE's would give almost the same advantage of throttle bodies power wise albeit with less scope for mapping of fuel etc. Wouldn't really matter about low end torque or anything as you're talking about a track only car. Maybe see 210BHP or similar with that sort of setup I was hoping. Joe
This is funny following that link to Vortex to find my ITB's in picture.. Made me smile You want quotes for any of this stuff you know where I am
anyone know the engine code for the mystic ali blocked 2.0L 20v engine some interesting discussions on there about inlet harmonics too,
Where would you go to get throttle bodies set up? I wish you lot would stop talking about this, i'm getting very tempted
I just "spent" an hour drooling over on the vortex site - i was trying to convince myself that boddies was a bad idea - dammit i'm so indecisive !
There's a guy on Vortex (that thread) who's running 50mm ITB and turbo... Respect! Serious need for speed
Mostly going to be down to whome you buy the ECU from and their preference/experience with said. The T'bodies themselves are bolt on just like a manifold would be. (some small setup of phasing thats all) - bobs your granny.
F.A.O. ROBt I am having a 2.0l 9a engine built as we speak by an ex-vw motorsport mech. they r called protec performance and are based in walton le dale. They are 3 strong crew and the knoledge they have with vw engines is very impresive. They do loads of racing and rallying and i am sure would undertake any engine rebuild to your spec. p.s. walton le dale is near preston in lancs.

Bill, I`m running a RE2000 KR with no knock sensors etc. Does your set up come with all appropriate items that i would need. Would i need to purchase any thing else, if so what?
