It's not me, it's you!
 

Ok I had a normal evening last night, by normal I mean, strip a set of throttle bodies down smooth the internals, remove the butterfly cams and mod them, all for an extra 10% internal area, and smoother gas flow.

I understand some people watch tele :shock:

(looking forward to taking a rat tail to the headers next :) )

Cheers Mark.

I don't understand! :(

What is that?

It's the shaft that supports the throttle butterflies, well, one of them anyhoo.

Mark, where's the others?

What :!: , but I thought all normal people did this sort of thing in the evenings :shock:

Butterfly valve in throttle bodies (large round disc, moves when you turn the throttle to go faster), cam, ( the bit that holds it in place and rotates it).

By smoothing the casting marks out of the bodies and taking away the extra matirial on the cams, you get the same effect as if you had fitted large throttle bodies (greater gas flow), basically a performance mod for no money.

Hope that helps,

a knackered arm from a faux leather chair?

All in good time Ian, Ive got until the weekend to finish them, have another exciting evening planned Thursday :lol: .

Cheers Mark.

No, a knackered arm from a real leather chair, actually.

:shock:

so basically, you've cut six whopping great chunks out of a steel bar to make it lighter and lower turbulance it.

Not a materials engineer here but I'm presuming this bar isnt under stress at any point, therfore can survive as long in the engine despite the zombie attack?

Doesnt it weaken the arm itself? there doesnt seem to be much meat on that center bit :?
