Technical Throttle Body's

[DJ_Bucho]

Could anyone please tell me the size of the throttle body (i.e. The diameter of the butterfly in the throttle body) in a 1998 P reg Punto 75 ELX.

Thanks very much, I look forward to hearing from you.

[DJ_Bucho]

Thats good news, thanks very much.

Have you found one then?

Pete I couldn't possibly say

Ok then yeah I think I have, fingers crossed.

I'll keep you posted.

[littleyellowcar]

but they dont fit, do they??? (or without some serious mod'ing)

 

[DJ_Bucho]

Yeah they don't fit or at least they aren't a direct swop.

You have to mod them quite a bit, but luckly I think I have got the tools, well a friends has the tools, which could make the job quite easy (well easier anyway).

So I'm hoping to get that fitted soon

 

[littleyellowcar]

make sure you post the results

 

[DJ_Bucho]

Yeah I definatley will mate without a dowt

I've got my fingers crossed that I can manage to pull it off.

I'm hoping to get some more bhp before I go to York later on this year, as running on 14" rims effects my acceleration quite a bit, so every extra bhp I can get will help

 

[littleyellowcar]

yeah, ive noticed the difference in acceleration since putting on the 14's - but i can get the back-end to step out on demand now tho when cornering

could always get 195/40/14's (and put 165/55/13's on front when doing drag strip runs ) is what im planning need a working car first mind

Yeah I could get 195/40/14 tyres... who makes them by the way and what price are they???
I must admit I was thinking of getting 185/50/14 tyres next as that means I wont have probelms with the rear tyres catching the archs when I'm fully loaded up with loads of HOT ladies (yeah right I wish )

Unfortunatley because of my MASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSIVE Punto GT brakes I have on the front, I can't fit my 13" wheels back on my car, so I'll have to stick with 14" rims. That means only one thing I need more POWER
