SV1000 throttle body size?

[fastdruid]

Does anyone know the OD of the SV1000 throttle bodies at the inlet side?

[svsam]

No, but i have heard that the dl1000 (i think) is a better upgrade, jhs do a set for about the £400 mark i think.
This is providing you are just looking to upgrade a 650, in not i am no help at all....sorry.

I think its 54mm (not sure if that ID or OD)

You building a supertwin by anychance?

[svsam]

Googled, 52mm, same as the dl 1000.

i get you the exact size at about 7pm if no one else pops up

[davepreston]

inlet bottom eg inlet rubber side 68.09mm od

inlet top eg airbox side 63.00 mm od

inlet top 56.44 mm id

inlet bottom long 60.75mm id widest point 51.35mm id (droplet shaped bottom)

Cheers Dave, that's slightly disappointing, I was hoping it was going to be the same as the TLR (about 61mm)

Afraid its not SV or even v-twin related, more V8 related. :)

[andrewsmith]

WTF you building?

[fastdruid]

A GT40 with a 4l V8, I was just wondering if instead of the hayabusa throttle bodies (which everyone wants and are rather pricy) ] could instead use TLR (I've already picked up one set for £1+ postage).

Except the inlet adapters are £45 EACH! So I was wondering as the SV1k shares the same (ish) engine and has the same size id throttle bodies if the adapters might fit and have a higher availability as I'm pretty sure more SV1k's were sold than TLR's.

Couldn't find the od anywhere though so asked here as figured someone was bound to have a spare set they could measure! :)

Mad mad man

Druid, try the states they are normally cheaper

[fastdruid]

Yep! :) The *really* crazy bit is when I turbo it.

Cheaper but not by a lot and postage + duty is a killer.

Trouble is I want to see them first before buying 8, as new that's £360! They look as if they should be ideal and match the existing ports but I can't tell until I compare them. I don't really want to splash out £45 just to find out the whole thing is a waste of time.

My other option is buying Hayabusa rubbers (new ~£15ea or lots available secondhand) and making my own stubs to match a couple of sets of hayabusa throttle bodies, more money on TB's, more grinding, less on bloody inlet rubbers!
