Zetec & R6 Throttle Bodies
Hi all……recently purchased some R6 throttle bods from another member on this site (very nice they are too) with manifold to suit Zetec engine. The
original fuel rail has been “cut and shut “ to suit the Zetec but as the guy who sold them said he could not guarantee it and recommended a new rail
be made from a single billet. Two questions…..(1) anyone know where I can get one of these made to suit and approx cost. …..(2) can the fuel rail
from the Zetec be mod’d to suit the bike injectors as I have this too?
Appreciate your comments.
Cheers,
Matt

its said that the standard black top injectors and fuel rail will fit the R6 throttle bodies on a zetec, hava a look at previous thread.

Mine is cut and shut, and if I did ever sell up I would also say similar to the buyer
Having said that, I'm not planning on selling it and has been fine so far (fitted last winter) and is just something that gets checked now and
again just to satisfy myself that its not going to cremate me alive
How is yours joined back together?
Did the chap say?
(mine has sleeves internally and was brazed together by me- after unsucessfully being soldered using plumbers solder first time round)

I am running a 1.8 silver top on sandwich injector plate with 2.0l injectors and R6 throttle bodies, runs well and really easy to set up.
The engine and throttle body set up is coming out at the end of summer to make way for another...bigger...heart    so will be up for grabs
eventually.
Will also have a 1.8 blacktop with 2.0l cams up for grabs as well Steve

Running mine on a 2l silvertop and they seem fine, not been on a RR so no numbers to show, but it has enough grunt to keep me happy...for now
Doubt putting bigger TB's on would be beneficial to a std cammed motor, and could possibly make low RPM running go seriously wrong (and horrible
to drive in traffic etc)
(amazed when I first looked at the logs at how little throttle is used during "normal" driving)
Too big a tip in and it will just be a bitch to tune and I doubt will have a good drivability on normal roads
Regards
Rob

The rail was sleved over the top, overlaping by 2mm and tig'ed around.
I didnt get chance to presure test it.
