Anyone using SBD taper throttle bodies on Duratec?

I'm looking at buying a set of throttle bodies for a Duratec and the SBD ones seem to give good power and are one of the few that provide a power / torque curve for various levels of tuning.

Anyone used them or got any feedback?

Cheers

Using Jenvey here with dual injectors, make lots of power 193hp on a standard engine and the two sets of injectors make it very drivable.

Search posts by flakmonkey. If I recall correctly, he had them, but had a nightmare getting them work well. In the end I think he ditched them for Jenveys.

All this talk of torque curves, the only thing that matters is the power curve. "Area under the curve"

I've probably opened a can of worms now!

Not sure this helps but I had them on my XE and they were a nice piece of kit

Flak had trouble with Titan rollers not itb's.

It was Bailey performance who fitted and tuned mine.

I stand corrected. Thanks!

Many thanks for the replies.

One of the reason's I've been looking at the SBD kit is they provide a power / torque curve, rather than just making the blanket statement 'outperforms competitors throttle bodies' like a lot of the other manufacturers. They also specify an exhaust manifold to suit the set up.

Again, many thanks for the replies.
