os there just as good as a turbo and plus no lag buy there well worth it you should be about 170bhp I would imagine dude civic type r killer there 170bhp 900kg gram= FAF fast. As. Fuck
that 106 that came on here and was charged had TBs and he was running about 170bhp and beat type rs

Throttle bodies are good because the fuelling is a lot more precise, plus they flow more air...which is why they produce more power. Pretty similar to a set of twin Weber carbs, only without the horrendous fuel economy (the beauty of throttle bodies is electronic injectors so the engine can be mapped properly).
It's a bit of a stretch to say they are as good as a turbo though (e.g. a n/a 2ltr Ford YB with throttle bodies makes about 300bhp, a turbo'd YB can make 850+bhp)
I reckon, at whatever point i do get thorttlebodies... I'm gonna try for a feature in PGti mag. they gotta be interested in the spec of the car then..
Definitely feature-worthy with that lot mate.
i was told that was 230bhp
yeah it is now cause got a charger on it but on bodies was 170
would it be easier to do as the engine is out now ?
is it 2k all in, is will there be stuff on top that we need to buy
The price i gave you is all in for the full kit.
Update..
These arrived today :
can't wait to get them fitted.
Also just for D
Right then on to tonights update.
Done some more cleaning, degreased all the cam belt covers
Started on the block paint job
painted the sump
looking good m8, im looking forward to having a project like this one day.
DONT go TB's. when curt had his done. it wasnt overly fast. i wouldnt say it was as fast as mine. He spent £5000 on full setup for them fitted. Also if u look in this months redline, theres a saxo with jenvey 40mm bodies on it. he only managed a 14.49 1/4mile.
I wuldnt compare ur car to type r's. there nothing special down the strip.
if it was me, save more and go for the turbo and GMC.
also curts car wreaked of fuel when he had bodies on lol. u no u wanna turbo it lol.

I doubt it is.

im willing to bet they would give it a feature without ITB'S trust me.

just as a comparison.
Turbo conversions done properly cost nearly twice that of ITB's
i dont know exactly how much TB setup is fitted, all i no is curt payed £5000 lol. which seems way to much.
are u going for speed, or just the fact ur making a mint car so want the engine to match?
the TBs sound mint and look good, but iv never been wowed by any one iv seen performance wise.
