What exactly is a tricker throttle body? Does anyone know why I'm finding it so hard to find one? :bang: Are they rare? Is tricker the brand of throttle body or something? So many questions lol
Thanks

Technical Tricker Throttle Body
Tricker is the username of a member here that used to make modified throttle bodies. He used to specialise in bodies for fiat fire 8v engines, boring out the inlet to allow increased airflow. I ran one on a cinq sporting once upon a time.
I've no idea if he still makes them it not.
I think postage and other commitments got in the way.
Essentially, the TBs were bored out, sleeved with stainless tube, the resulting hole bored out to 40mm and filled with a new butterfly. They are beautiful, jewel like things.
But having said that, there's nothing there that a decent model engineer couldn't do (Jenvey and all seem happy to supply the butterflies, which are the really difficult bit).
The TB from a Punto 75 can be adapted for use in a Mk1 (or SPI Cinq) and gives you 38mm.

That makes sense :L what sort of adaptions are needed on a 75 TB then? Can I do them myself?
Sure.
I've never done it myself, but folk on the Italian Cento Forum, and on the Cento/Sei one here have. Best ask on there -- they don't mind interlopers, and it's -- by a very long way -- the best technical section here.
