2L Throttle Body fitting

Postby Nick 2i on Sat Jan 17, 2004 2:57 pm

Just got myself a 2l tb, nice one simonT :wink:


whats the best way to fit it? ive done a search and found out some stuff about it but im stll not 100% sure.

Also how do i make sure the throttle opens fully???

if any could take a pic of how they fitted it, like a close up pic of the linkage and the bracket would be good!

Cheers

i think there are just some clips holding it on. the cable just needs removing from the old one and fitting in exactly the same way to your new one. have a go at it. apparently its very easy. :)

Linkage needs swapping from old to new, too.

Some can be swapped, some can't. You'll need molegrips to loosen off the studs in the ally (careful not to snap them).

I had to use an extra-long bolt instead of the stud as mine was snapped.

You also need to file the throttle stop down as the linkage/TB combo usually only opens up to around 85%-ish.

Best of luck,

Al
