GSXR Throttle bodies advice
Valtra - 1/5/12 at 05:33 PM

Hi

Just taken delivery from ebay of some clean GSXR 600 TB's to do a conversion from 40 webers . on examination they are fitted with the secondary butterflies as expected which shouldn't be hard to remove, however they also have a second set of injectors , Have I stumbled upon the only unsuitable TBs available or do I need to remove and blank off blank off those as well ?

There are two linked Fuel rails which could easily be removed and used singly .... As you can tell I have a steep learning curve ahead .... Also there are vacuum tubes from each body which join at a electrical socket is this a MAP sensor or does it connect to one elsewhere?

Oh and while I'm at it I assume I will need bigger injectors for car use so what will fit straight in and connect up to a mega/microsquirt . projected power from my 1.6 fiat Twink (with Abarth head and cams) is 130- 150 hp. All advice and input greatly appreciated.

By the way assuming I've bought useful TBs and airbox I think they were a bargain at a maiden bid of £40 plus £15 carriage ....No?

Thanks

Ian

Are the throttle bodies separable? or are they in 2 pairs?

Maybe a photo.

Think those come a two pairs rather than four separates, you will most probably need a custom manifold to adapt the cylinder spacing to the body spacing.

FastDan on here should be able to help you.

Heres a pic of my GSXR 600's (2001 Year) They are 4 seperate bodies with two sets of butterflys but only one injector rail with one injector per body

Here they are spaced out on a custom manifold, i made a fuel rail bracket for support & it secures the injectors too, just need to make the fuel rail joiner pipes on the lathe at work now & fill the holes where i removed the secondary butterflys

2 pairs but I'm not planning to separate them

planning to fabricate my own by modifying another Fiat manifold ...that's the plan

if this works you should see the generic picture I bought them from however the (visible) injector plugs are grey and brown on mine , condition is not quite as glistening but not bad

I had a set of similar TB's and still re-spaced them slightly to match my manifold, stripped out the second butterflies and filled the holes with epoxy resin.

I mapped mine for Alpha-N rather than using a MAP sensor so I joined all of the vacuum tubes together, it is likely to be a MAP sensor you currently have connected..

Rather than bigger injectors just run both sets at the same time, I actually bought a set of 1000cc GSXR ones with the 8 injectors to do just that, but I found that the ones I already had from the 750 gave me a sensible duty cycle.

Regarding running the injectors from Megasquirt.

I don't know the exact design of these TB's but if one set of injectors is before the throttle plates then you need to stage the injectors (i.e. don't run the outer injectors when at low throttle openings).

Staged injection can be controlled from megaquirt. MS1 can do it but it isn't very clever during the transition when the outer injectors come in (it is all or nothing with MS1). MS2 and later is much more powerful in this regard and properly ramps up the outer injectors. I ran a set-up like this and it worked fine.

If you run both sets of injectors then you probably should have enough fuel.

It looks like one set of the injectors are shared with gsxr750 and also the vzr1800. (ron ayres cross reference)
The vzr1800 (not a bike I have heard about before) uses only 2 injectors and makes 125hp which suggests to me that you will have oodles of fuel with 4 of these.
Only internet information though.

To run 2 sets (presumably thats what the Suzuki does all the time ) i guess I would parallel wire them but would they be big enough combined and would that cuase problems for the ECU


Valtra - 1/5/12 at 10:16 PM

not really looking for complication . which is why I'm considering Microsquirt


Valtra - 1/5/12 at 10:30 PM

Will try to get some photos of the actual TB's uploaded tomorrow , again excuse my ignorance but I understood an injection set up would require a return pipe to the tank for unused fuel , but there is no provision for that here .

Cheers for all the info so far , I'm hoping to study some more setups at Stoneleigh for inspiration and get a feel for the jargon

found this link which indicates my primary Brown injectors should flow 225 cc at 43.5 psi (3bar) which according to the B&G website makes them bang on for 150 hp every day's a school day

All comments gratefully received

You will need a return pipe back to the tank, also the vacuum pipes are connected to a MAP sensor, if you use megasquirt the MS has one built in, Micro squirt does not so you may be able to use that one you have.

Thanks where does the return pipe go from ?

It shouldn't do, I'm running VEMs which has no issues with paring injectors.

Regarding return line, insert a T piece as close to the fuel rails as possible going via a fuel pressure regulator returning to the tank. When I did this on my pinto/GSXR setup I put the regulator right next to the tank rather than in the engine bay as I didn't want to run a return line, ideally the closer to the fuel rail the better to ensure an even pressure.

Yes I think I'm getting the idea the rail only has one inlet but it that supply is interrupted by a regulator any pressure /flow over the regulator setting is returned back to tank.

Re injectors as above it seems the brown main injectors on my TBs are about spot on for my power expectations so will blank the grey ones somehow (suggestions?)

the fog is clearing now thanks gents

May as well leave them in, you could look to find a core plugs in the right diameter and glue them in, but it does risk leaking air.

Fair point , are they held in with the fuel rail or do they screw in somehow?

cheers


se7ensport - 3/5/12 at 12:13 PM

Fuel rail holds them in place.

Suzuki have a fuel pressure regulator built into the pump and use a "dead head" system. So no return fuel line.

This works fine and is clean and simple.


big-vee-twin - 3/5/12 at 02:16 PM

I blanked my injector ports using large headed roof bolts engineering glue (araldite) and liquid metal.

See below

Thanks , that makes sense so long as the pressure regulator I choose is set correctly and accurately, I guess it will work a bit like a waste-gate on a turbo motor

Yes I thought a stubby bolt and chemical metal/solder would probably work ok , I used a similar method to blank a vacuum take off on my current inlet manifold which works fine.

cheers

I see from the picture you use the standard injector ports in the head . Neat solution.

Thanks for all the input guys may catch you at Stoneleigh
