Nope! The underbonnet space and configuration on a trad is a lot more problematic than a Caterham or a Westfield.
I talked to quite a few people about this ( and at the start fondly imagined that what worked in a Caterham would in some cases almost simply 'bolt-over' in terms of space) I soon got 'wised up' swear

PS Nick, isnt that Westie pic showing throttle bodies ( eg Amec, Webcon or Jenvey) going straight in. I COULD go for that- in fact there are loads of kits available and it can also be done on the 4/4 Sport ( The Factory/ Richard Thorne package)

. The problem I have is that I don't particulalry want to go down that route, not least becuase it will, almost certainly, ivolve replacing or at least re-mapping the ECU and I'm a little dubious about this will work with the ancilliaries G


Indeed, you'd probably end up pigggy backing a seperate controller and keeping the OEM unit to do the rest of the stuff... might be worth talking to the Factory though so see if they piggy back or use the OEM controller for the new trottle boddies.

As for the Low/high pressure zone... that's what I'm looking at now...

If you went down throttle bodies though (subject to fitting and testing) I might have a kit that uses high pressure zone cold air feed to supply the intakes without having to cut the bonnet. smile
