2.0 Throttle bodies and gearbox!

Postby Percy! on Thu Aug 19, 2004 12:57 pm

Would I be right to think that my car will still be running 1.6 si throttle bodies and gearbox.

So with the throttle bodies is there any way of checking what I have?
The gearbox is the 1.6 si one as far as I know.

Now heres the problem I am going to be adding a T3 turbo and hopefully be pushing over 200bhp.

The gear box is very short already and I have to change thru the gears quick and I assume I will have problems running the 1.6 throttle bodies with that too.

So what throttle bodies and gearbox should I go for? I want them to be direct swap aswell.

Where can I get them from?

How much should I expect to pay?

Thanks for your help

1.6 throttle bodys?????

you have a 2.0 dont you? so the throttle body (theres only one) will be a 2.0 one.

not sure on gearbox could be a 1.6 one, best asking the guy who you bought it off.

Hi,

The 2.0 gearboxes are MTX75...
They are a PITA to fit in a Fiesta! Bigger and different mounts :(

Save money to buy a Quaife BC kit, then do more mods to get 250bhp may be? (I am not sure if it is okay to push 200bhp using your original gearbox... probably not I believe)

Why do you think you have a 1.6 throttle body though?

The 2.0 TB has a notch on the top of it that runs at an andle form left to right, also it easy to check by looking inside as the 1.6 has a tiny gateway on it where as the 2.0 is almost same size as the front of the TB.

I didn't ask which gear boxs wouldn't fit I asked what would.

So how much would a quaife kit cost approx?
