Well I ordered my throttle body spacers yesterday and they arrived today.
I realised today I actually have 45mm bodies but I thought they were 42mm. Even though I have 42mm air horns and spacers they still flow more than enough air for the engine.
£98 delivered and should hopefully bring the power band further down the Rev range. I now have an extra 60mm of intake length compared to when the engine was set up.

The spacers are pretty smart.
How long is your intake now?
Im on 31cm right now without headlenght.
The powerband is from 5.000rpm till 7500rpm.
Although the torque is dropping fast after 6.000rpm.

Don't ask Tedward about power figures...

Less than that because he hasn't got 180 injectors, everyone knows you need them to break the sound barrier.

What happens if you have ones bigger than 180 injectors? Does time go backwards?

Sorry Edward!
You better ask project about the quantum physics regarding injector size!

I'm on pretty similar. 90mm airhorns, 9.5mm spacers, TB's are 118mm long and according to the Jenvey website the manifold is 98.8mm long. So it looks like I have more or less 320mm. Allowing for maybe 50mm from head flange to inlet valve it's about bang on what Jenvey recommend for a 7300rpm engine.

More money spent yesterday. £168 for a proper Jenvey throttle linkage and a new throttle body lever.
Getting the old lever off the throttle body is a little bit difficult though. Its held on with a tiny grub screw and I suspect it's also glued in place. Predictably this make them much more likely to get rounded off. I imagine it will have to get drilled out unfortunately.

Good mod there Paul.... it is a better set up for the throttle and the cable routes nicely.

It looks a lot neater. It's just a bit fiddly to fit. Nearly done though. Will probably keep the standard throttle cable.

Almost finished now. Just need to sort the cable. The supplied cable fits the linkage but the other end doesn't fit with the standard Peugeot attachment on the throttle pedal. Can't be too hard to resolve it though.
Next job will be the fuel rail. I want to shift the injectors into the bodies and get a Jenvey fuel rail with Aeroquip fittings and braided hose. There's a connection in the standard Peugeot fuel hose that's behind the drivers side wheel. If I can get an adaptor to fit the standard fitting it will make life easier.
