throttle body

[mpampis_]

hi guys, i recentrly bought a lancia kappa 16vt inlet manifold and injector rail. i have in my mind to port in for extra air and i would like to ask you, does anyone know about biggler throttle body? i am thinking about 70- 72mm

thanks

Is the throttle body going to cause a restriction in the new setup you are planning? How much power are you hoping to make eventually as I think the standard throttle body can cope with much more than standard.

I want to increase the air flow with ported inlet manifold, ported head, camshafts to have max power with less turbo boost, that's my point

[Steve Webb]

I was just asking as if you open up everything on the inlet side of things, you are really going to affect low speed running of the engine as its not going to be filling the cylinders as efficiently, and the fuel/air mix is going to be dropping out of suspension.

Yes, you are right, maybe it is too much. A ported head and camshafts are enough. Thanks by the way

mpampis, I recomment you to use a throttle body from a Gtv 2.0 v6 tb. It's the easiest to fit on your inlet manifold, it doesn't need to change the throttle sensor's position.

thanks Dimitris, do you know the diameter of gtv's throttle body? well, the point now it is a bit difficult, i send the manifold for painting and i won't cut it for changing the flange. the only way to change it, is if the throttle fits directly to the bolts in the manifold. do you know any other details?

[Varypodaros]

I'm not sure mpampis, I don't remember those details...

It's ok, I was talking to papagiannis these days and he thinks that he have one in 72 mm. Will see

gtv v6 turbo has the same tbody as 164 v6 turbo. its easyer to find 164 turbo for spares then gtv v6 turbo
