Title: throttle bodies
Post by: manjambles on April 29, 2009, 12:39:49 PM

im looking to do a throttle body project but i dont know what would be the best set of throttle bodys.

is there a company that makes universal ones, like i know obx makes one for a honda, could i modify an adapter bracket?

motorcycle ones, im looking at cbr945rr throttle bodies on ebay?

what will work best?

I think the best set of TBs to fit on M42s are the M3 E36 3.0L
Almost straight fit, very little modification needed. And same spacing between cylinders in the M3 as in the M42.
Besides, much cheaper than other systems
