No its massive, the size of it id be better doing it when the engine was out, i was looking into making the master cylinder fit but as it mounts completly different its gonna need some spiggot rings making up.

When im at home i'll get some pics side to side to show you the difference.



Cheers jimmy, its my only car so ive gotta keep it on the road lol.

what size inlets your throttle bodies have

[Gaz]

49.5mm tapered to 42mm

[btcctroy]

i must have the gsxr 600 throttles. think these are only good for 190bhp

[Gaz]

Mine are Suzuki GSXR 750 Y/K1

[btcctroy]

yes there the ones i should of got.

it dont matter at the moment i will use the one i have and see what gains i can acheive.

you prob wont gain much with the 750 throttles on a standard head as the inlet is about 35mm if itwas a round hole.

your bodies have a better taper aswell which speeds the air velocity up.

i believe you can get 200bhp with them throttles and the right cams.

He does all my engine work. Has always done a spot on job for me. He even skims dics for me too.
Want me to take it to him for you Gaz? It's round the corner from me.

[btcctroy]

Top bloke and reasonably priced

[Terry]

Yea he is, Always gives good advice and prices are good. I used to use the one up near Tesco Oldham.
My mate who runs a garage advised Simon and i've used him ever since. He's also 2 mins away from me so that's a bonus.
