jenvey throttle bodies

[payne'e]

hi all, i got these jenvey throttle bodies and omex ecu off a lad at a garage i deliver to at a good price as he was desperate for some cash.they are off a vauxhall red top

initially i got them to sell on but have been thinking about getting a redtop for my mk1 escort and using these, but haven't got a clue about either redtop engines or throttle boddies

what would be needed to be able to use these on a redtop conversion in a mk1 escort and would this setup be any good? any info would be grateful

Put them on a Crossflow

Put them on a Crossflow

would that be possible as i don't think i've ever seen one with throttle bodies? how would the wiring go etc i know naff all about throttle bodies

Probably just a case of changing the manifold and tweaking the map, you'll also need some sort of crank trigger

 

Its got to be eaier than sticking an XE where they don't belong

Few things to start with

 

few tank and a swirl pot

inj pump

fuel pressure regulator

fuel return line

good quality fuel line

 

to give you a clue i have spent over £500 on bit and pieces so far, its well worth the work but how much you want to spend to get em to work, if you want to sell on let me know i would be tempted if price is good

cheers guys so would i need an injection tank, what fitting for the fuel hose as i doubt jubilee clips would hold? if i can get an xe in for about a grand then i think i'll do it

Hi mate, i went through all this recently.

 

You can mod your existing tank and put a return in there, much cheaper than buying one of those horrible 12 gallon things!

 

You can use all push-on fittings, i have and it is obviously alot cheaper but if you can afford the expensive 'dash' fittings then go for it.

 

You'll probably need quite a while on the rollers to get it mapped for your engine so budget for that aswell.

If you need to know more mate, i'll be more than happy to help as like i said i went through all this too and i didnt know a thing about injection and ECU's etc. PM me if you like and i'll give you my mob number.

You should be able to get the XE in for easily below 1k, i did in my capri for £500, by selling of the old engine and bits, and that was with buying goodies like magnecor ht leads, a paddle clutch, bias pedal box, bradied hoses, etc. Im over the moon with it and wouldnt look back.

 

Go XE, you wont regret it, and there is plenty of support out there
