Looking to push the little K as far as it'll go we have designed some "direct to head" bespoke throttle bodies for the K conversion. 38mm plates but there are no shafts in these bodies so effective area is up to the equivalant of a conventional 40mm body with a shaft in it. We have downdrafted them by 5 degrees to allow a little extra clearance to the slam panel and the use of a full one piece filter.

some pics to drool over!

If Carling made Mini engines
it would probably be like this one!

I had a look at the full piccys in Wymondham earlier. They are properly hot looking items... But I doubt my 8 valver really needs them!

Correct. and make a plenum with a nice big thottle body on the left(clutch side). It would satisfy my need in a couple of years...

I seriously doubt it!

They are on the website now. Something tells me these are only going to be for the very special builds with a price of £799.

John.

Apologies for the dumb question but if you want to run a servo on something like this, where would you place the take-off ?

Richard.

Minivanless, but reluctantly happy living with the decision. There'll be another one day.
