Is anyone still enlarging the diameter of our throttle bodies, Wouldn't it be nice to add a bit of power with a little more air?? |

Here is my thread on moving from the stock TB to the GO-Westy unit. It shows all the steps needed to convert the unit (its EASY!) It also has my home built smoke tester for testing the intake. Bear in mind when I did this I id it for my Microsquirt 2056. So my TPS is a little different then the L-Jet unit that started on the 1.8, and may be a tad different then the TPS you use on your machine (but probably not, and its still super simple to make the bracket.)

There is not a lot in my engine bay that looks stock, aside from the 1.8 airbox/plenum/intake runners. Once you get past that, its ALL modified. That said, the TB is pretty buried on a 914, so you never see it either way unless you go spelunking to find it. And being black it hides even more. Zach |
