Show me your GSXR throttle bodies
lotusmadandy - 23/1/10 at 08:13 PM

I have just purchased a rather nice set of K4 GSXR 1000 bodies for a knock down price from my marra coozer (cheers Steve)

What have you peeps done for filtration/air box,given that they dont come with any trumpets as such.

Many thanks,

Andy

I bought some R6 TB's, and they have sat in the box since!

Heres some I did a while ago - home-made carbon trumpets

GSX600 throttle bodies

For a filter these are then bonded to the backplate

Crossflow bodies

And then finished off with a carbon airbox

ST170 manifold, 2.0L mondeo fuel rail, throttle bodies with bike inlet trumpets.

Claire, fancy making another set of trumpets and airbox, that looks fantastic?

What are the trumpets from Dan?

This is during a trial fitting the entire Assembly had to fit under the bonnet, Hence the tieraps.


lotusmadandy - 23/1/10 at 09:20 PM

We've all been there Rex,i would still like to know who made your filter mate.

Andy


scutter - 23/1/10 at 09:21 PM

Andy, they are the GSXR ones, for the life of me i can't remember which size engine it was.

ATB Dan.


lotusmadandy - 23/1/10 at 09:22 PM

Cheers Dan, it can't be hard to track down a set of those on't bay.

lotusmadandy

im using my GSXR750 throttle bodies as a 8 injector set up with a pipercross back plate and the orignal trumpets. Does the K4 not have separate trumpets you can use with a filter back plate?


Richard Quinn - 24/1/10 at 08:18 AM

What are you using to control the additional injectors?

Will, i am not sure what they should have with them.All i know is ,i dont have what should be there.

Not a problem though,i will pick something up on the bay to fit.

Here ar emine. Nearly finished just got to sort out air filter and inlet trumpets.
I really want to use a Pipercross airbox, I reckon it would fit under the bonnet, the thing is they are so expensive to buy to find it won't fit. I will probably put a panel filter on to begin with.

Andy,

Presumably if you buy a "complete GSXR1000 K4 Airbox" from you know where, then it will have the appropriate trumpets.

Sometimes they have 2 short and 2 long ones, in which case you can either buy two airboxes, or duplicate the Suzuki design.

www.alpha-sports.com is good for parts diagrams, like this one:



These trumpets are nice, because they will seal to a sheet of material with a hole in it (i.e. that is how they fit the suzuki airbox).

GSXR1000 has four equal length velocity stacks with slots in the circumference (apparently to smooth mid range power)

GSXR750 has two short two long velocity stacks.

Both throttle bodies are the same dimensions.

I have four GSXR1000 and two short GSXR750 stacks, if anyone want to swap for two long 750GSXR stacks...

matt_gsxr - 27/1/10 at 07:17 PM

Interestingly GSXR1000 K5 has longer in middle than sides




which seem to be similar on later models too.

Presumably when installed in an engine that revs lower, you would (assuming there is space) want the longer trumpets.

I'd be interested to hear from anyone who has experimented with different trumpet lengths with the throttle bodies.
