Intake manifold opening size, is it 3"
micky boy replied to Taggy's topic in Intake, Turbo & Exhaust
No bother mate the butter fly is 50mm so if you add the alliminium lip that's on the outside of the throttle body (the bit the silicon hose sits on) it will be about 52mm give or take so not to much to reduce!.. -

Thanks very much for the replys guys im going to buy a thermostat tomorrow and go from there will let use know how i get on

Well i've been thinking this my self just wasnt sure if that would course the car to idle? you would think even though the thermostat is stook open the rest of the sensors on the car would work out when to turn the choke off if you get me?...For the sake of £10 i might buy one and see how i get on...Cheers for that D mate

Yeah i've adjusted the idle screw on the tb but it hasnt done anything realy its till wanting to rev higher then what i set it on the tb..As for leaks i've had a good look about and cant see/hear anything also if it was a leak it would stay at a certain rpm, were as mine settles back down to 950rpm after 5min sat stationary then it will work its way back up to 1200rpm after abit longer its pissing me right off lol Also when its idleing high the smell of Vpower is unreal as if the coke is stook on? im thinking its the TB my self as there is a thrmovalve inside the tb witch the water warms up a

Nope

Hello guys my glanza is idleing prity high as if the choke is staying on?..its idleing around 1200rpm even when the cars up to temp..If i go for a long drive then pull over to let it cool down it idles at 1200rpm then after around 5min orr so it works its way down to 950rpm (sometime below)..Now im not sure if its the idle controll valve? orr the throttle position sensor? Also i've noticed my temp gauge in the car go's right down to the C when im driveing and then go's up to the half way point with the fans off in the car but if i have the fans on in the car it only go's quarter of the way up

So i just had to buy another one Missed the boost so much i was like a heroin addict wanting its fix!!! Anyways a few month ago my mate bourght a white 98spec glanza with the intention to forage ect. And a couple of storys sort he took it off the road and we started stripping it i.e the interior, engine,ect basically the full car lol.But then out of the blue he changed his mind he's always had a soft spot for the Mk1 Focus RS with him owning one befor and a very nice clean low miles one was going prity cheap.So off he went and viewed it and fell in love with it and to be honest i cant faul -
This is awesome mate! keep it up

Might be abit late but Happy birthday matey hope you had a good day.

Standard TMIC restrictive at what boost?
micky boy replied to R34GTt's topic in Intake, Turbo & Exhaust
I think Tim from TB developments done some inlet temp tests on an ARC top mount befor running 1bar on a ct9 and after only 6min or so of full throttle the heat was that much Tim said he dosnt know how the engine coped!!!! i cant remember what the temperature was but it was high lol at the end of the day its a 1.3 engine with a little turbo thats runnig 1bar so every bit of cool air you can throw at it do so and a fmic it the best way to go if you want the best performance -
Cant believe im seeing this!! was only chatting to him on here on monday! Gutted thoughts go out to your family and friends you will be sadly missed R.I.P Dave
