... I've been looking at the possibility of throttle bodies too, probably from a large capacity bike. Have there been any successful throttle body builds? Doesn't seem to be very common, obviously because of the ease of bolting in a GTE....... could someone please tell me if they are O.Z superleg's? and what size if possible?

... I've looked and looked and can't find a legalis R anywhere, so I'm toying with the idea of going to EMP exhausts as they seem to get good reviews on here and are very reasonably priced....(maybe) is, does anyone else have any reviews of the company or their exhausts?... What are the favoured pipe dimensions performance wise?(4-1 branch manifold) on my NA and i have some piper cams with a 285 profile yet to be fitted. I will also be purchasing an uprated fuel pressure regulator if it needs it, if you want you can PM and share the results we are getting as we go along with the builds.
You're talking race engine expensive. A bit of head work and an exhaust and filter are only going to add minimal gains.Road_Rebel wrote:i know im being an idiot, leave me to be an idiot
I nearly went down the 'NA all the way!' route until I tried a tubby. Then I laughed at myself and dropped a turbo lump in. it cost very little money, bit more on insurance, sure, but oh god the gains!

People on this forum are actually quite useful and thus, if you're being an idiot, will try and stop you from being an idiot.
"bit" BUT majority of people here are older than me and have had much more experience than me with 2's and cars in general so when the day comes you guys can turn round and say "Told you so..." Deal?

I highly doubt the increase for a 20 year olds insurance to drop a turbo lump in will just be a
I'll make sure your the first person that can say to me Tsia.
Also, I'm 21 and it didn't increase it by a great deal. Call insurers first, it's not that bad. I considered it "part of the conversion cost".Road_Rebel wrote:Im sorry to tell you this JkRacing but trying to get tuning advice on the NA engines from this forum is like trying to extract blood from a stone.
I would say about 80 to 90 percent of people on this forum run the 3S-GTE and people who had the 3S-GE who wanted more power were pushed down the turbo or V6 route.
This being said, you will find it quite dificult to find any information on the 3S-GE's tolerences due to the simple option of being able to drop a more powerful engine straight in.
I have managed to install a Toyosports Exhaust system
I don't know about you but it does my head in when people say, just drop a turbo lump in, its not an answer to the question i asked lol, i know im being an idiot, leave me to be an idiot
I just think to myself, the Honda Vtecs don't do badly for them selves and they are lovely to drive, maybe i don't want a turbo
... But obviously the main reason for me is wanting to take it racing.... I'm just going to play around with options and see how it goes I think.Nic wrote:The Fujitsubo exhaust uses 60.5mm diameter piping with 90mm tail pipes.
