v6yna Posted July 14, 2010 Report Share Posted July 14, 2010 just wondered if anyone had done this as obviously its not a cable throttle body standerdly so just wondered if anyone has put them on, and how they solved this problem?cheers austin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitchell Posted July 14, 2010 Report Share Posted July 14, 2010 lincolnshire lupo did it, i did it to a polo gti unit in a lupo utilising stand alone management, im sure there is a way to utilise the motor but not sure the vw ecu would work effectively what with calibrating etc, linc lupo used other management too.

v6yna Posted July 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2010 im sure ill be able to sort it, but just seeing if anyone on here had done it and how they did, make it abit easier for me lol! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dvs-lupo Posted July 29, 2010 Report Share Posted July 29, 2010 im in the same boat im looking to find the inlet manifold for a lupo gti or someone point me in the right direction to some who can make a custom manifold Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Defcon5 Posted July 29, 2010 Report Share Posted July 29, 2010 Badger5 may be a good shout - they do direct to head TBs so no need for an inlet mani Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigzâ„¢ Posted July 29, 2010 Report Share Posted July 29, 2010 Video above Badger5 may be a good shout - they do direct to head TBs so no need for an inlet maniDefenatly speak to Badger5, but not about direct to head kits.You can't go direct to head on a GTI engine.The port spacings are 40mm-30mm-40mm, you either need to use an manifold or make something like the below, the ports need to be tampered out from 30mm to 40mm spacing for the centre two ports.

Bengti Posted July 29, 2010 Report Share Posted July 29, 2010 Do forgive me guys I don’t really know much about the throttle bodies. I am right in thinking you can take off the standard manifold and throttle body and bolt on that piece of metal and the row of throttle bodies wire it all up and get a bit extra horse power?Can buy the row of throttle bodies off the shelf or do you have to get them custom made?Cheers, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigzâ„¢ Posted July 29, 2010 Report Share Posted July 29, 2010 In practice its not as easy as the theory unfortunately but in essence you are replacing the single butterfly valve with four individual butterfly valves.This not only allows more airflow (and as such, fuel quantity) but also allows greater control for each cylinder. Plus it makes lots of nice noises lol First few years of the tread contains the throttle body info I picked up Lupo GTI Turbo conversion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
northwick Posted July 29, 2010 Report Share Posted July 29, 2010 I've always wondered if/how the air gets filtered? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Defcon5 Posted July 29, 2010 Report Share Posted July 29, 2010 I've always wondered if/how the air gets filtered?You get a long filter and create a kind of airbox around the top of the trumpets. http://www.pipercross.net/competition/products_px600.aspYou can also get mini cone filters to go on the ends! http://t0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:6kc0Dvc32lbyKM:http://www.tzywen.com/photos/misc/ae111-01.jpg&t=1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
northwick Posted July 30, 2010 Report Share Posted July 30, 2010 Thank you. You must have to get that snug up against the trumpets for it to work effectively? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
99hjhm Posted July 30, 2010 Report Share Posted July 30, 2010 Thank you. You must have to get that snug up against the trumpets for it to work effectively?Nope, bigger gap the better. Airbox would be a much nicer idea, but there's a space issue I guess, as usual on a Lupo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
northwick Posted July 31, 2010 Report Share Posted July 31, 2010 But if there's a gap can't the trumpets pull in unfiltered air? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Defcon5 Posted July 31, 2010 Report Share Posted July 31, 2010 But if there's a gap can't the trumpets pull in unfiltered air?He means the void encased within the filter around the TBs - its a bit technical but I think it allows more air to be drawn in due to pulsing or something?
