Busso with throttle bodies.

[Oilchange]

Anyone done it?

Reason I ask is that I raced against a chap with a throttle bodied 4 pot Peugeot and it sounded unbelievable! I mean really really great.
AHM have a kit, not cheap but together with a fruity cam, equal length manifolds and a cat less exhaust I can imagine that Alfa's finest would make some sort of Godly music with these added.

Yes, I've seen a few Stratos replicas with the AHM kit on GTA engines. Haven't heard any though.

I bet it sounds amazing, not that the Busso could sound any better.

Ive been following this build for a while:

Just read that all the way through, what commitment! Amazing.

I'm sure Autodelta used to fit Ferrari throttle bodies to the Busso engine for a fair few quid. Not on their website now though, although I may just have dreamed it .

Lots of people, including Autodelta have fitted a Ferrari throttle body in place of the original Alfa one (both Bosch items so plug n play swap). Single throttle body replacement, not individual throttle bodies. Doesn't really offer much, if anything power wise as a mod by itself.
As far as I'm aware AHM have probably done more than most with ITB's, I believe they are currently building a 3.8 on ITB's for a stratos rep right now

Money no object and the engine from my rather tired 156 would get the full treatment. It would have to go into something unusual too, no a Stratos but something a bit unexpected...

Just search “Alfa v6 throttle bodies” on YouTube. there’s loads
