Time to crack on a bit more. In the interim, I’ve made new cooling pipes that run front to rear, which included getting my head stuck in the side pod of the car and having a bit of a panic when I couldn’t get it back out. But that’s not interesting.
The challenge was can I avoid turning a 3kg chunk of billet aluminium into scrap and instead turn it into 500g of something useful.
The idea is twofold. To switch the throttle body on my V8 from the back of the inlet manifold to the front, AND to ditch the large, heavy and complex mechanical throttle body and replace it with a really slick & elegant DBW throttle body.
