i think the cold idle is common for all throttle bodies mine is the same have to let it warm up before its driveable otherwise its idles at like 500 rpm lol

point of bringing this post up?

i thought he was back... hmmmm maybe he is under a different name:o

This post goes back to June 2003.............Gaimo no longer comes on here

I've got the SBD set up on my 1.6 and it runs fine when cold even with no idle control valve. 2 or 3 blips of the throttle on start up and it idles fine. It needs to be set up spot on to work like that, but it is possible. My mate's 2.0 on TBs is the same. I wouldn't go back to a idle control valve now TBH as the SBD set up is much simpler, works fine and means one less thing to worry about.

webber alpha system is basically a plug n play system. should give around +30hp

From SBD's site
Starting is simple and the air temperature sensor and Lambda control take care of the warm up.

:thumbs: - correct Daimo, thats why ur better off at looking at other companies who do them, such as webber etc

SBD dont have cold start kits (i dont think) meaning they hardly run at all when cold.

you should do anyway

trouble with sbd TB's is that u have to let car warm up before u can drive it properly

not bad...

but 230hp is not enuff...:D;):P

:wave::thumbs:

Nah they're richer :lol: :P

This is theoretical at the mo fella. Im about as rich as the local apprentice bricky outside :lol: :(

:D :D :D

I want £1500!! XE5 kit, then slap some TB on and a shit hot engine managment system :D :D

230bhp :D :D

rarrrr!

u get a little switch to flick power......

Pooaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrr

XE5 - +46bhp

This is the maximum this engine can push out with standard AFM and without going to throttle bodies. Giving the camshaft a different lift duration to previous kits, modifying the cylinder head for max airflow and with the insertion of new pistons V-Max have achieved 200PS (196BHP) from this setup. Software is again changed but Fuel pressure is remained at 3.5 Bar. RPM Level 7500rpm

XE5 Price = £1199
Fitting of full kit = £POA


Just think of that then fitting some nice throttle bodies :D :D

Any good this stuff??
