45mm Throttle bodies
Does anyone know what bikes come with 45mm throttle bodies that can be easily spaced like the Gixxers. Also I guess it would be best to avoid those
with electronically controlled secondary butterflies if not using the original ECU.
I really fancy TBs rather than thirsty carbs.
For an Alfa 75 motor if that helps at all.

You need the throttle bodies from a GSXR 750 or 1000 from 2001, 2002 or 2003. These taper down from 48 to 42 mm. The secondary butterflies can be
easily removed.

Do you think the taper to 42mm will make them lower flow than say webber 45s? I will be looking at c.200bhp performance are larger injectors freely
available or would the standard ones cope?
I was thinking of a two pairs of carbs from a big twin (eg VTR) but dont know much about them.

The throttle bodies have almost the same dimensions as some jenvey 48mm tapered bodies and surely flow enough for 200 bhp. The injectors are probably
also enough for 200 bhp. Standard bosch injectors won't fit, but you only need to drill the hole a little bit bigger to make these fit.

Hi Jim the zx12 are best ones 48mm down to 44mm and splittable and if you would have rung me around 10 am today were in stock but sold them
to a mr luben today
also the sp1 honda v twin are a massave 62mm down to 58mm with twin injectors
but you would need 2 sets i have 1 set for £77 delivered if you want these

42mm TBs will flow more than 45 webers. The webers will have chokes fitted which will be less than 42mm. Standard 750 injectors with raised fuel
pressure will be good for around 200bhp but I guess they will be running close to max duty cycle. Scooby ones sound like a better option for higher
flow requirements.

Liam you're a star. Do you know which scooby the injectors can be sourced from.

Personally I wouldn't go any bigger than 42mm as these will be capable of well over 200bhp and already will be too big for low end running (if
this matters to you!!)
I would hope I am running around 185-190 bhp on GSXR 750 TB's and injectors and feel 600 TB's might have been better for road use.

My query was more about which direction to go with my Alfa GTV either a 2ltr ts 75 motor with race cams, overbore, pistons and 45 throttle bodies. Or
just go Nissan SR20DET and smile sweetly at the Alfa officianardos 
I am not a real fan of carbs and would rather go FI.
Thanks
