Rookie Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 / Make slide throttles. Also tps of throttle pedal is dumb because cables stretch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rookie Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 Yea I have seen those, I am reasonably convinced that they are wildly overkill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ned Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 For sure, but realistically all you need is an injector, a valve and a hole to let in air... could be a fun DIY project? Would be sweet to find a cheap, no-frills off the shelf thing though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slacker.cam Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 Spence, how long ago did you read the article in racecar eng about slide throttles? I tried having a look for it but didn't have any luck. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spencer Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 I couldn't tell you man I would have to check have been subscribed for years, it may have been in race engine technology? I'm subscribed to that one too. Its pretty well touted in there that F1 and other forms of motorsport went away from slide throttles, the shit partial throttle cylinder filling isn't worth the miniscule gain at wot.

CaMpylobacter Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 So no one will say if spraying the injectors on the out side of the throttle plate is going to work/ catch my car on fire? I'm not talking out boards but like 2" away from where they would normally be? carbs do this. they use vaccumm to draw the fuel through, though. what's wrong with side draughts.bike carbs on this thing? evn injected it'll still be a kent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
