K series TB's
Turbo Mini Forums

Does anyone know exactly which Rover models and engine sizes had the 52mm and 56mm TB's on them as standard?

Cheers
Matt

I dont think any rovers did, Mines off a MG TF 160 but they have them on MG ZR 160 and Some Lotus Elise's

Really!!! bugger that narrows down the search a fair bit then!

May have to look for other options.

Has anyone got any other TB suggestions around the same size that are quite compact?

Ive seen a few with pipes and brackets all over the place. lol

This is the same as what I'm using:



You will just need to make a plate to adapt a decent TPS. The standard Ford one is just a switch, as I found out.

Cool, I'll keep my eyes peeled at the scrappy tomorrow.

dont those golf ones have some funny double butterfly tye thing?

Ive got a b16 one in my shed, ill go and measure it, you could have it, but its not mine

Not on the Mk3.

just measured the honda vtec one, thats a 58mm

I think the prelude/accord 2.0 or 2.2 jobbies have even bigger ones

Dont forget to take your verniers to the scrap yard

Got them packed already.

That could be just the ticket.

Ive got an hour tomorrow and a half in between jobs to find a TB. lol

Most Zetec's are around 54mm. Sierra Cosworth, 2.0 twin Sierra etc etc.

Cossie has the big ISCV on it though. The Sierra TC is pretty compact, 4 bolt.
Think I threw a couple out the other week lol.

9.85 @ 145mph
202mph standing mile
speed didn't kill me, but taxation probably will

Well ive decided my scrappy is shite for car selection as they had no Golf Mk3's, Zetecs, Honda with B series engines but...they are damn cheap! :)

£12 bought me this...







Inlet is 61mm outlet 51mm.

Stevie should recognise what this is from!

granada i presume?

"did you know you can toast potato waffles?"

Haha got it in one, but its the later type Granada off the 2.0L. It was right at the front of the engine bay calling out at me.

The latest craze in TB fitting is using cap head or torx bolts (neither of which did I have the right right tools for).

Back once again like a renegade master

Thats good to know Jim, at least I know I can blast plenty of boost throuh it! :)

I tried to use ITB's but couldn't fit a good size plenum in. A clubby would be no probs.
