Zetec & R6 Throttle Bodies
Bumble - 5/8/09 at 09:50 AM

Hi all……recently purchased some R6 throttle bods from another member on this site (very nice they are too) with manifold to suit Zetec engine. The original fuel rail has been “cut and shut “ to suit the Zetec but as the guy who sold them said he could not guarantee it and recommended a new rail be made from a single billet. Two questions…..(1) anyone know where I can get one of these made to suit and approx cost. …..(2) can the fuel rail from the Zetec be mod’d to suit the bike injectors as I have this too?
Appreciate your comments.
Cheers,

get in touch with 'flak monkey' on the forum he might be able to make you a custom fuel rail

its said that the standard black top injectors and fuel rail will fit the R6 throttle bodies on a zetec, hava a look at previous thread.

Mine is cut and shut, and if I did ever sell up I would also say similar to the buyer

Having said that, I'm not planning on selling it and has been fine so far (fitted last winter) and is just something that gets checked now and again just to satisfy myself that its not going to cremate me alive

How is yours joined back together?
Did the chap say?
(mine has sleeves internally and was brazed together by me- after unsucessfully being soldered using plumbers solder first time round)

wont the r6 tbs be a bit small,or dont it make any odds.

I am running a 1.8 silver top on sandwich injector plate with 2.0l injectors and R6 throttle bodies, runs well and really easy to set up.

The engine and throttle body set up is coming out at the end of summer to make way for another...bigger...heart so will be up for grabs eventually.

Will also have a 1.8 blacktop with 2.0l cams up for grabs as well Steve

Running mine on a 2l silvertop and they seem fine, not been on a RR so no numbers to show, but it has enough grunt to keep me happy...for now

Doubt putting bigger TB's on would be beneficial to a std cammed motor, and could possibly make low RPM running go seriously wrong (and horrible to drive in traffic etc)

(amazed when I first looked at the logs at how little throttle is used during "normal" driving)

Too big a tip in and it will just be a bitch to tune and I doubt will have a good drivability on normal roads

The rail was sleved over the top, overlaping by 2mm and tig'ed around.

I didnt get chance to presure test it.
