I am making some 45mm throttle bodies soon and I just wanted to see if there was any interest in these, if so I would get them made on a cnc machine which will reduce the cost if i get a batch made up.
The throttle bodies will need to be attached to a manifold. You will need to make this yourself. I can supply the trumpets to suit.48mm throttles could also be made.

If I hadnt already gone the turbo way I would get some.
For anyone interested, without these you cant make the max HP out of an N/A gemini engine, without assistance that is.

Any chance of getting an idea of how much it would cost for the throttle body and the manifold?? Cheers Smile

the hardest part of making the manafold will be the thermostat housing... I still gotta think about it

could you make the manifold for a DOHC motor
