New Throttle bodies in

Very excited, fitted new throttle bodies and air box, and went for a start-up.

It started first time (a bit of a first for me), and seemed to run on the old map reasonably well.

TPS settings were different from previous TBI's (that was a custom mount so as to get the ideal TPS range, which I haven't done with these ones).

Stuttering when accelerating at low RPM, probably need to balance the carbs (I only did a static balance, i.e. put a drillbit in the gap and adjust so they all fall out at the same time).

Also the air hose inlet was flopping around at the front of the car, so that needed sorting.

So I built an inlet ram pipe thing. From a Maplin woofer trumpet (£2.69) and a bit of bent ally. O.D. on this is just less than 3inch, so perfect fit to the 3inch hose.

Not much of a photo (taken with the built-in webcam on the netbook).

Now I need to rivet this on, and connect it up. This is slightly messy as the hinging bonnet makes this a bit messy as the hose changes length as the bonnet opens, but it should be alright.
