2036cc ABF 83.5mm 16V MS1 V3 & Jenvey 45mm DTH 200bhp + Project

^^^ this. Ramair really isn't significant until well into 3 figure speeds.

Stupid question incoming - couldn't you turn the throttle bodies upside down and mount them so the horn point down a little as opposed to up a little?

 

Yes that was a Stupid Question.

the Jenvey DTH are mounted direct the head so come straight of the head at the 90deg angle that is dictated by the 16v head design

 

Ade's old MK1 20V with Jenvey's not DTH but had custom inlet manifold to get the correct angle

Thanks for the pic Brookster, looking at it now I don't think the Badger5 set up will do, looks like custom curved spacers are needed.

 

MK2's with DTH Fitted

 

looks like a custom manifold (i.e. tapered section of metal) would be the cheapest way to solve it then unless you need the bodies to be at 90deg to the head for swirl or some other reason?

I can't imagine some tapered AND curved horns would be cheap to make.

 

The curved spacers that Badger5 has would be ideal with more of an angle on them, surely can't be too hard to cast?

 

Yep, seems that way to me too.

 

Defeats the point of DTH bodies - nice downdraft effect

 

or machined from billet. looks like a simple taper section really.

what are the benefits of downdraft? I doubt a subtle reangle of the bodies would change how they breathe very much.

 

Downdraft=better

What brake servo pipe are you using Brookster?

 

just some 8mm rubber fuel hose

 

wise words from Hillclimber 4 years ago

 

Anyone know the origins of this throttle linkage?

 

Bill at Badger5 designed and made them afaik.

 

Yeah they are from The Badger

 

fired up the MK1 at the weekend and tweaked a couple of items ready for it to come out to play in two weeks an Santa Pod
