I've gone for the 45mm bodies which are manufactured to work best with cars above 200bhp |

Choice of bore size is a balanced compromise resulting from the following;
1) A larger bore leads to lower flow resistance, but obeying the laws of diminishing returns.
2) A smaller bore leads to better throttle control and response (never underestimate) and improved fuel mixing.
3) The system should be considered in total - from (at least) trumpet flange to cylinder and proportioned accordingly.
Basic references for BHP per cylinder, assuming ca 120mm from butterfly to valve head and a max of 9,000 rpm are;
Up to 30 - 30mm, up to 33 - 32mm, up to 39 - 35mm, up to 46 - 38mm, up to 51 - 40mm, up to 56 - 42mm
Up to 65 - 45mm, up to 74 - 48mm, up to 80 - 50mm |
In short 45mm bodies are perfect for 65bhp/cylinder = 260bhp. You don't think you might have gone too big with the 45mm bodies? |
Dragged up from an email from Sandy;
"45mm is perfect for this spec, 42mm might be slightly better low down on standard engines, but they generally become restrictive much over 200bhp, it depends on the whole cam package etc being used, but for the package I'll suggest 45s will work better."

I'm on my own insurance, no fronting or anything dodgy...
I'm the policyholder and main driver on a 12 month policy.

thats a wicked price yerh 1700 was under my name! its tempting because at the moment i payed 1400 for a 1.1!!!!!!!!!! which is rediculus! so an ectra 300 quid nd i get the extra 120 BHP and half the mods i have declared are standard on the 180 lol! just need to save up to buy a 180 now!

How much power are you going for? The inlet manifold is 42mm so why go for 45mm TBs? Jenvey suggest a 42mm body is ideal for 56bhp/cylinder = 224bhp. That's an ideal size, not a maximum power for the size...there's plenty of flow left over at that size and you'll still have good response and torque at low revs too where road car engine run at most of the time.
At the end of the day there's not a huge difference between a 45mm and a 42mm body. I'd just rather have a great mid range rather than great top end revs.
On the subject of insurance mine is just £450 fully comp with everything declared and with protected NCB too!

Just to see how much they cost, abandoned all thoughts of going that route though...
I really don't know why Sandy recommended the 45mm bodies, but I trust him as he is setting them all up for me so that's what I bought. I agree though I would rather mid range than top end power...

I'm only a baby, most insurers wouldn't quote me with my setup at 20, so £1100 isn't that bad!
