GSXR 600 Throttle bodies
whats the going rate for the throttle bodies? I want to use them on a 2L blacktop, unless any one has another suggestion.

ok for a standard engine but if you want to tune it, 600s will probably become restrictive

Can I ask why or how you come to your conclusion above ?
General rule of thumb based on more than one source of information

Also can I ask if you have read the book on engine management by *Dave Walker* ?
Yes. Several times. Can I ask if you have read anything else?
Off topic:
Calvilinx: For some-one pretty knowledgable, and generally helpful, you really can be quite abrasive. Without due care, your (often constructive)
replies can be easily be read in an agressive fashion even if not meant that way. Would perhaps suggest you take a break from mastering EFi and start
mastering the nuances of the English language.

I would have thought the venturi size was more important than what bike it came off.
Interestingly on my 3.5L rover V8, 38mm chokes off a Honda CBR600 are just fine, except the manifolds are £600 a pair..
Also the internal dimension of 46mm Ally Scaffold pole is almost perfect for 38mm Venturi's if you are making your own manifold.
Remember that a Car Carb Venturi will flow less that a Bike Throttle body of the same diameter. ie there are no webs and jet protusions in the
throttle body, which lessen the through put of the car carb in relative terms.
Long term I am going Megasquirt (already built) and 8 x throttle bodies on a home made manifold (my mosy difficult bit to do)
All good fun eh?
1. The point of a journey is not to arrive.
2. Never take life seriously. Nobody gets out alive anyway.

calm down lads,
Basically i was going to use the engine in standard form until i got thru the sva then maybe then start messing around with fast road cams and the
like.
With the bike throttle bodies there seems to be such a large selection, i was just wondering if there is a prefered one.

Agreed (on both the above).
When I started my install, I had a set of 600s and a set of 750s
600s were 42mm tapering to 38mm id
750s were 48mm tapering to 42mm id.
After much hunting around and reading, I realised both would be suitable for my standard 2.0 zetec, but if I decided to go overboard on tweaking the
engine then the 750s would give me more scope.
Conversely, 600s would provide more drivability on a standard engine but limit the scope of future "tweaking"

takes a lot more than that to get me riled - Calv's responses are normally (now) well intentioned

Not really a preferred selection - Gixxer 750/1000 bodies are often used due to previous experience and the fact they can be respaced to fit a DCOE
manifold. All others are also worth considering - GPZs have also been a popular choice in the past.
At the end of the day, look to see what is available. If you're happy getting your own manifold made up then the whole EFI bike world is your
oyster - decide on the diameter you need, identify which bikes fit your need and wait around for a set to come up at the right price.

So...are you going to actually contribute anything useful to this thread?

Just to be pedantic (and factually correct), throttle bodies don't have a venturi.......
And the correct answer to the original question was?
GSXR 600 throttle bodies will be "ok for a standard engine but if you want to tune it, 600s will probably become restrictive".

Gazza your responses never cease to amuse!!!
As for throttle body bores.....who knows?
Dave Walker, writer of "said book" ran a Vauxhall XE16v engine up at QED some years ago with numerous different sets of bodies on it, and
45mm vs 48mm showed little difference, other than some reduction of lowdown torque with the 48's.
my own experience shows similar, I have 45mm jenvey sf's on the locost, and had 48mm jenvey twins on my grasser.
48's were prob a tad big, that's with 200hp.
I'd say around 40mm ballpark will be what you are looking for on a 2ltr std engine that may be mildly tuned in the future.
bit bigger than that if you are doing more tuning and nudging towards 200hp
Retro RWD is the way forward...........automotive fabrication, car restoration, sheetmetal work, engine conversion
retro car restoration and tuning

My Bro in law is Scottish
and he's a nice chap but to get back to the topic, would a set of 600 throttle bodies work on a 1.8 zetec, not planning anything like cam
changes etc ? Whichever bike they came off they would probably be made by similar suppliers as with brakes, they don't make all their own
parts.

That's what I'm using on a 1700 crossflow (600s), so I would say they would be ideal on an 1800.

YOU are going way to fast slow down a bit or you will be fined for speeding in the pitlane
No i mean even if he (or she??) was a dick who cares? we are here to help each other right? Looks some times that you are here for different reasons
one of them COULD be to show what you know...
and just let that be a sign of some complex...
Did you read the book "How to behave to not become ignored?" by * Locost Builders & Co *
you know i´m not serious you know?
BUT YOU DO GET THE POINT DONT YA??

Cheers guys!!
Calling someone a dick is quite friendly really.
PPS.I have some GSXR 750 TB's to go on my 1600 4age,does that mean i'm wrong or just a Big Dick?
Once I've finished a project why do I start another?

<Team America> "See, there are three kinds of people: Dicks, Pussies and Assholes.
Pussies think everyone can get along and dicks just wanna fu*k all the time without thinking it through.
But then you got your assholes, and all the assholes want is to poo all over everything.
So pussies may get mad at dicks once in a while because pussies get fu*ked by dicks, but dicks also fu*k assholes.
And if they didn’t fu*k the assholes, you know what you’d get? You’d get your dick and your pussy all covered in shit." </Team America>
