Well after a small (20min) customisation to my 40mm TB (filling the hole for the vacuum gauge) I fitted my TB again.

I cut my hand in exactly the same place pulling the same hose off as well.

After a bit of tinkering to get a decent idle (also allowing the engine to warm up) I took her out for a steady drive for about 5 miles, then hit it.

Definately more responsive, and sounds more impressive. A lot more grunt through every gear, (caught me by surprise in first and wheel span on one bit of road!)

Highly recommended.

glad you got it this time

Update: Major torque increase in 4th and 5th, in fact 3rd is a LOT more grunty now, able to pick up lower and climb faster.

Much much faster to 100mph (down that private road) Keeps up with a F*** focus 1.6 to about 90mph, which I was WAY impressed with

Why did you need to fill the hole?

The Tb arrives perfect to fit?

Or am I missing something?

some have a blanked of breather pipe and some dont.on the cinq theres a pipe that loops over between 2 pipes. on others(like the one i got)it only has one sop you need to block/blank it

Yeah they do, but fiat being how they are just did their own job to block the vacuum gauge hole on the TB. I grab an older TB without the hole filled in, so it drew in extra air after the fuel injector, made it stuttery to say the least!

So I filled the hole, and fitted it again and after a bit of tweaking the idel point on the throttle it drove great.

Getting better and better as ECU gets more accustomed to it as well

No offense matey, but you described that as well as I did when I posted the problem (terribly!)

I guess its not easy to describe

But lets just say that once you've done it, theres and extra pipe. . . block it!

i just put a screwin the pipe to block it. maybe im not such a drama queen

Lol, bunged a bit of rubber on the end of it, then screwed that. almost totally airtight

My mate said it looked like i was giving head to my tb when I was testing how tight it was, now THATS dedication

I know what you are on about, mine was already blocked I was just worrying for a moment that, that pipe may be the cause to my lag in power below 2500 rpm with my Tricker Tb but when I thought about it the lag started to happen even with my 32mm fitted many months back and its gradually getting worce so i blame it on the Lambda still!

after I swapped back mine happened with my 32mm (punto engine, so standard) for a while, EXACTLY the same, so I though F*** I've done something wrong.

But after about 10 miles it started to fade and by 100miles it was back to normal.

Weird

laughing at me giving head to a TB, and trying to take a photo.

Hi there

Sounds good that you've got all sorted out and are well pleased with my work on the TB

If anyone else are interested in a 40mm TB then I have some fore sale in the Classifieds section under "tuning"
Look here: https://www.fiatforum.com/classifieds/showproduct.php?product=1704

Listen to this guy, he has one of the coolest cinques in the world

I'm ordering one of these and I was wondering if I will need to get the car set up afterwards or weather the ECU is capable of sorting itself out after a reset?

The ECU should sort itself out Nick But a RR session wouldn't hurt, would it?

The ECU can sort itself just takes anything up to 100miles...

The first one I fitted seemed to make a huge difference from the off... :yum:

The Second one I fitted to my new Cinq seemed to take ages to adjust but then worked a treat after bout 80miles :devil:

A RR wouldn't do anything unless they have software to play with the ECU which I doubt they would..

All you would get is a torque and bhp figure that would be totally different after a few miles more

Brillaint cheers guys
