throttle body size ?'s
dmottaway - 25/4/05 at 04:23 AM

there are throttle bodies, on EBay, from GSXR 600's, 750's, and 1000's.

Just a guess, but I would think the bodies get larger as the bike get bigger.

Is it possible that throttle bodies can be too big?

I am looking to put these on a 4AGE (1.6L).

The 750 and 1000 ones are the same size

I have a feeling someone used 600s on a 2.0 Pinto.

HTH,

I'd have thought 600's would be a bit small for a 2L, but should be fine on a 1.6L? But could be wrong

You're probably right- I'll try and dig up the post.

600s should be fine. HOwever, there is a member (Ben) on here who has fitted 750 bodies to a 4age with really good results...in the region of 165bhp.

Steve,
I have the 600's on my 4age. I think these are 46mm tapered to 38mm. These were big enough to make 161bhp.
The guy at the rolling road said people always oversize throttle bodies and was pleased to see I had gone for the 38mm T/B's.

Ben.

Almost ready for Stoneleigh!!
