scutch0 Posted September 26, 2007 Share Posted September 26, 2007 hmmm i need a spare t/b...i may be interested.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SiCaln Posted September 26, 2007 Author Share Posted September 26, 2007 ill wait for them to get back to me, bout availability and the possibility of head work and ill let u know what i hear - sounds like there could be a few interested tho which is good Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SiCaln Posted September 28, 2007 Author Share Posted September 28, 2007 they will also do headwork for us too, but i found this on their site and i think im gna get it done on my spare inlet maniSpec-R manii have asked for a quote but on there they vary from £130-175, so pretty reasonable i reckon, here is the work they carry outany interest, let me know they also thoroughly clean and degrease, and usually finish in our own black or red heat-resistant gloss colour coat. Other colours (blue, white, silver) are available for an additional fee. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SiCaln Posted September 28, 2007 Author Share Posted September 28, 2007 yea wasnt gna do the head work but inlet and tbs sound promising to me, not too expensive either Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SiCaln Posted September 28, 2007 Author Share Posted September 28, 2007 got an email back, im gna do itI cannot quote for the inlet manifold without seeing it first, though the price is likely to be £130 - maybe as low as £100. Throttle body £45, insured return postage £20 for both items. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mikey Jay Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 I have no inlet mani to modify Will be a bit pricey to have 4 throttle bodies done methinks....Worth it though? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SiCaln Posted September 28, 2007 Author Share Posted September 28, 2007 prob wont need it to be honest squire Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mikey Jay Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 When I convert to open throttle bodies might be worth looking into though, for purposes of efficiency and working well rather than power Quote Link to post Share on other sites
