What about buying some silver vinyl and do them yourself? That's what I did only cost me £2.

Sounds alright. But if i buy the part its the exact matching colour. tempted to get a set from a scrapped punto and spraying them.

or buying the silver ones from a scrapped one :idea:

The bits for the induction defiantly the same on the starjet to the older engines?

What size does the elbow joint onto the TB need to be. What diameter?

Cheers

Re: RussJTD's '09 StarJet Grande Punto

The elbow joint onto the throttle body is a 70mm on mine but i think you couldgo smaller as i had to tighten up alot with a jubilee clip, I have got the OEM air box at home i will measure the inside diameter later on as im not at home at the minute

Sean23491 · Jul 22, 2012

Re: RussJTD's '09 StarJet Grande Punto

Just measured throttle body end and its 50 mm inside diameter

when I did mine I used the parts from sammclean23 from when he used it so slightly different but I used a 50 - 70mm jubilee clip so mine is snug tight, when i tightend it up

Re: RussJTD's '09 StarJet Grande Punto

cheers.

once i've got a BMC sorted i'll measure everything and get it put together. not exactly in a rush

Im happy with the GP today. filled her up for the first time since buying her. She's managed 41.9mpg! :woot:

Doesnt sound like a lot, but when the Astra often returned barely 29mpg im ecstatic :slayer:

370miles on 1 tank of petrol, much better than the Astra's 300..

Re: RussJTD's '09 StarJet Grande Punto

Thats good that on A long run you can get near 45-48 really good economy in my opinion too

No it only takes about half an hour to take the old one off and put the new one in

especially if you already know what your doing and not going in blind

Nice new whip man!
Love the colour, Nearly got an 07 in that colour when i got mine but decided to go for a Exotica instead as it stood out more

(+/- few other points)

Ive still got that pencil I owe you and Im about to make a £1 donation on your behalf

How much do BMC CDAs go for nowadays?

keep the pencil dude

just donate to the forum

Cheers about the car, I fancied this because it was different, see too many exoticas.

plus when its clean the metallic shine this has is gorgeous..

plus for its spec/age/milage it was a good buy

BMC CDA's are around £180+ new.

2nd hand they can go for £70.. I missed out on one buy £1 which would have been £20. currently bidding on one for about £30

So the TB diameter is 50mm? You say thats the inside, im presuming thats where the butterfly valve is.

would need the outer diameter. guessing that might be 56mm.

Reason i want to know is...

LOOK WHATS ARRIVED!!!!!! :slayer::slayer: (or more like I picked up

)

Re: RussJTD's '09 StarJet Grande Punto

If you come round to mine I've got those digital calipers, can get an accurate measurement of your inlet

Probably will be around 55mm though I reckon.

Hi, I have measured the inside diameter of the pipe which attaches to the TB and it is exactly 51mm so that means the outer diameter of the TB is 51mm.

Hope this helps

CDA's Sounds meaty when you give it some beans! They resonate the engine noise and give it a roar!

Hurry up and get it on

Tom

RuSZ · Jul 27, 2012

And the CDA Is ON!

Half of the Tie Wraps will be replaced with Jubilee Clips in the next 24hrs... I just bought the wrong size
