I have looked at two companies that have throttle bodies to replace SU carbs.
I am building rebuilding a b20e but I do have a manifold for a pair of SU s to use on the motor
Does anyone have any opinion on replacing the stock fi system with a pair of throttle bodies.

I have also considered using a pair of motorcycle throttle bodies as they are the same size and would be not be difficult to adapt

Any way it goes I'm going to use MS on the system if I keep the stock intake or not.

I'm looking at other "success" stories but all other input is more than welcome

I am considering using a pair of GSXR TB on a volvo B20e
They are about 45mm the same size as The replacements to SU's some of the suppliers sell
The air flow should be ok but I may have to up the injector size
has anyone tried using these.. I've seen other TB used in pairs on smaller 4 cyl but not the GXSR
any reason why not/
thanks
Joe

Why not ditch ALL of the stock stuff and go with custom all the way around?
MS2 v3.0 pcb, 2.891 firmware w/ flex fuel mod
Ford eDIS-4
1000cc injectors
Saturn 1.9L
....lots of boost with a 50 shot of anti-lag.
