Throttle body advice needed please
Started harvesting the parts to convert my Jaguar to EFI.
I have an XJ6 injection manifold, pictured below, there isn't room to get this in the E Type, my plan is to cut it off about 40mm from the
injector holes, and weld ally tubes on horizontally, or pointing slightly upwards, to take bike throttle bodies.
I want to keep the injectors in the standard place, it seems a pretty good location, does anyone know if any bike throttle bodies do not have injector
fittings? all I need are the butterflies and housing, and if I could get some and not have to blank injector holes off it would look much neater.
Cheers.
Pete

All you need to do is seal up the bike injector holes. Thats what I've done on mine.
Cheers

I would strongly consider using a plenum arrangement with a larger single throttle body - it makes setting up EFI a lot easier as you get a stable MAP
signal and you don't have to worry about synchronising 6 throttle bodies (and sorting out the linkages in the first place).
Honda get well over 100bhp/litre out of their B16 engines with a plenum system, so it's not as though they are unsuitable for performance
applications, unless you are using really wild cams.

the 4 cylinder triumpth has individual throttle bodies which are just the butterfly and very compact but quite small at 32mm dia ish, i will post a
pic in a hour or so. dont know if the triumph tripple is the same which might be ideal

You could try and get a set off a beamer..... m series have ITBs, you may find that easy to graft on....

This looks like an interesting manifold..

just measured them 45mm tapering to 37mm so not a bad size, look easy to respace to but you need another set for extra midddle two, you can have them
for £35+ postage. if you need any more measurements give me a shout

just looking again at the standard mainfold thats quite a gap between the 3 pairs of inlet headers which might be a bit tricky with a common single
throttle linkage on set of bike throttle bodies, may need to look at something like a tripple weber carb linkage arrangement.
