carb's V throttle bodies

[General Baxter]

i liked the xe V's 1600 thread so i put this up

i would like to know the advantages and disadvantages of both and which will you choose!

[JSeymour]

monkey man defiantly, gains are way more noticeable.

[Mike]

would depend on what size engine though wouldnt it?

Is this something to do with our little conversation about C16XE amd X16XE engine's on MSN baxter??? lol

[General Baxter]

not really no! im going TB route, i just wanted peoples opinions on the subject

[Mike]

Hhhhm, throttle bodies by the pics and figures that you were showing me! lol

[Stuart]

50/50 lol

love carbs, love TB's.....

Carbs on 8V engines and TB's on 16v engines imho.

[Adam]

Ye, as above.
Heard that TB's aren't much good on 8v's.

CARBS-
Advantages:-
*Noise
*Cheaper than TB's
*No wires
*Easily re-tuned for if you upgrade cams etc
*Can be fitted to any engine

Disadvantages:-
*Not as efficient as TB's, as there just mechanical parts, no electronic control
*Some people find them hard to live with on a everyday car, when in winter weather etc(so i've heard anyway)

THROTTLE BODIES-
Advantages:-
*Sound great
*Reliable/Efficient as standard MPI injection
*Can be accurately mapped as controlled by electronics
*Can be fitted to another engine

Disadvantages:-
*Cost of them, and ECU etc.
*Cost of mapping
*Need to be wired up, not everyone is comfortable fitting wiring looms


I think thats a few advantages/disadvantages of both. :)

as i understand it, carbs are very good, but TB's are even better because if the fuel consumsion- maybe, and increased torque over carbs, normally i'd say more reliable, but after talking to Dan, forties seem just as reliable.

TB's will nudge the power band up a little too high on an 8V engine as the gas speed is usually a lot slower than on a 16V thus making the TB's not much use on a 8v

[Riggy]

where is the burgo option fella

as said though carbs on 8v TB'S on a 16v

[Jack]

Wonder how much extra power adding a Burgo to your car will give lol
