joed05 Posted February 21, 2010 Report Share Posted February 21, 2010 im opting to do a throttle body conversion on the Lupo and would like some definitive answers and info if possible, ive been told that badger5 would be the best place to go and have been advised that 40mm bodies would be best. Where would i be able to get an inlet manifold suitable? http://www.badger-5.com/2001/throttlebodiesdcoe.html am i right in saying i would need the TB type 40MM double for £420. What else do i need apart from the ECU and fuel rail, i am led to believe the linkage comes attached to the bodies. Thanks in advance people Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kam Racing Posted February 22, 2010 Report Share Posted February 22, 2010 we'll be getting a inlet manifold made up for the GTi using a custom made one that I have as a template. does any one know if the port shape and spacing is the same on the GTi as the Sport? If so we'd be able to provide a full kit with Jenvey TB's... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CasperGTI Posted February 22, 2010 Report Share Posted February 22, 2010 I thought sport and gti heads were nai on the same, id think the ports arent much different, if anything at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pro3mark Posted February 23, 2010 Report Share Posted February 23, 2010 I'm not developing, just keeping a very close eye Of course, my parts are here as a test bed if John needs them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whiny 77 Posted February 23, 2010 Report Share Posted February 23, 2010 Yeah I've really been toying with the idea of Throttle bodies, I love them, the noise, the way the power is delivered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whiny 77 Posted March 2, 2010 Report Share Posted March 2, 2010 I've found on here that it's been done to a GTI but I couldn't find anyone thats put throttle bodies on a sport, if they have. What were the power gains & an idea of cost of the whole project. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CasperGTI Posted March 2, 2010 Report Share Posted March 2, 2010 Wasnt tigz engine a 1.4?I think tie 1.6 engine made about 167bhp. So thats about 40bhp increase.There going to be expensive, the tb arrangement is about £750 iirc, correct me if im wrong. Then standalone ecu, plus mapping and fitting. thats a good £1500 dependant on the ecu.Whos going to do it? you or a garage? That will have a big factor on the price.

MdBrOoN Posted March 2, 2010 Report Share Posted March 2, 2010 Have you thought about bike 'bodies?They might idle a bit lumpy but they will be a fraction of the cost.Just depends what you're after really Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It ends at the end of the month so I'm not sure if its too short notice for you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MdBrOoN Posted March 17, 2010 Report Share Posted March 17, 2010 The ports on a gti and a sport are both clover shaped, would need confirmation that they are the same size though?Hopefully that will give you an idea of the shape.Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitchell Posted March 17, 2010 Report Share Posted March 17, 2010 ports are identical, as are afh head, my bodies and linkage with trumpets came it at 750,then inlet ecu etc on top. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
