DHLA to throttle bodies
Does anyone have a guide to converting dhla40’s to throttle bodies preferably in a manner that can be reversed. I want to keep the external looking
stick (for a classic car) so the ppc guide they did many moons ago is of no use (I have a copy of that article). The ones I have are the original (no
letter) version. I was thinking of removing the chokes etc. and sleeving with some aluminium tube (40mm id with od turned down to a slide fit) and
would like to retain the balance screws. What else would I need to blank off?

I'd be doing pretty much what you are proposing to do. I would be looking to incorporate an O ring arrangement at the butterfly end. This would
give all the sealing necessary. If it were practical to have a tapered bore ending up at 40mm then I would do that to.

Thanks, do let me know how you get on.
I was thinking if I can get a slide fit then a healthy covering of blue hylomar would seal the sleeve in ok. Do you know if I leave the progression
taps and the bleed screw in tact do I need to block anything inside I.e. main and idle jet screws?

If you can achieve a perfect seal at the butterfly end of the sleeve then no other mods should be necessary.

If I can machine the sleeve to be a good sliding fit, plus add a bit if hylomar and then leave it a half a mm proud at the inlet end then I can use
the bolt on trumpet to tighten the sleeve against the butterfly shoulder hopefully creating a seal.
Have you found a suitable o ring yet. I think the outer diam would be about 45-46mm with a ring thickness of 2mm would do it, if you can find one.
Something like this?

I'm not actually doing it, I'm saying how I would approach the job if I was. Your method should work if your injectors are downstream.
