clockwise throttle pots

[spitfire4v8]

Blue throttle pots are unobtanium these days .. the black alternative also .. but at a price you could use this :

anyone tried one out ?

There's probably a case for swapping the butterflies over on the 4.5 and re-working the cable and arms to operate the spindles anti clockwise now.

If they're brand new then probably 130 pounds each. The black ones linked to earlier are 128 ...

4 blue ( or black in this case ) and 2 grey for me please

Quick question for you Jules, on a car with lambda control turned off if you were to set the throttle pots to 14.4 but with the Rickover set at 1100 rpm would that cause slightly rich or weak running?

Second question, do you map the latest MBE ECU with knock sensing and wide band lambda's?

That tpot is a slightly low value, the airflow slightly high, so that would trend the mixture weak from whatever it had been previously.
I'v never mapped one of the later ecus, sorry.

Thanks.

Would you like to, probably from scratch as I don't thing anyone has on an AJP8 yet?

I'm going to have to politely decline that offer but thanks anyway. There's an investment in new mapping hardware required, and I'd lose out in time in the short term with the learning process .. You're only the second person to ask about mapping the latest MBEs so it's not really worth getting involved when Powers already support it and have a wealth of knowledge to draw upon already, cheers for the offer though
