Looks interesting Daz; where did you turn that up?

Not sure that many NA Rovers would ever nee that size throttle but it would certainly make one jump as it opened. Manners could be a problem smile

That does look impressive Daz. I assume you will need to increase all the hoses in the induction system to 90mm to benefit from the 90mm throttle opening.

It might also improve stumble off idle? How big a hole do you need to get the air in smoothly?

I want to see before and after results , the engine needs to be in good fettle prior to changing to the larger throttle body. .

^ That's a good idea Daz. Personally I think it's way to big. It's 7.0 chevy size so on a rv8 may cause off idle problems.

My gut (and it's a big gut) tells me this is more a cosmetic / feelgood / because-I-can 'upgrade'... frown

I like that the dyno print actually seems to show that it makes *LESS* power with the 'poopercharger' fitted!!! hehe

As someone has already said, very light throttle settings would be really difficult to tune, so when you go from sites 0-3 the air increase is really big, if you are running the original clockwork ECU it would be really hard i guess?
I have Emerald and i had to close the first 3 angle sites up to get it to run right, even site 0-1 (on-off idle) i had to set idle ultra close to 1, so as soon as you think of pressing the right pedal it chucks a bit more in.

But i do have 8x 55mm chokes, do dinky little Rover ports need this much air??
