Spencer Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 Are you sure? MX bikes use slides and they don't suck, not to mention a butterfly is hardly a linear opening... But mostly they look badass and there aren't any good looking throttles that aren't $11ty billion. Also this is for a race car. I am unsure as I haven't tested them myself back to back or anything IRL. All racecars where the class allows have gone back to butterflies over slides f1 etc. racecar engineering has a sweet article about how gay slides are. They do look sweet though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kpr Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 as spencer said. outboards will require a decent ecu which can control the injector timing, plus a big set of injectors. so all the fuel can be dumped in the available time, before the fuel gets thrown back out the throttles. but you may get away with it if running weak factory cams with no overlap. also. correct me if wrong; i thought the turbulence from throttle plate helped with the fuel mixing, with outboard injection. so sliders are no help in this case.

Llama Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 OK guys a couple of questions, 1. how to you set up TPS on slide throttles? I am picturing a rack and pinion setup but that seems like a lot of fucking around. 2. Is there any reason why I can't inject before the throttle? Linear potentiometer would be the go?

Rookie Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 The engine is the new kent I'm going to have to build, so it will be ~130 hp so certainly not a power house, it will havea big cam though. I'm not talking out board injection just spraying onto the back of the throttle plate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rookie Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yowzer Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 It'll be sweet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spencer Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 Yup I imagine it will be mildly gay to tune down low with slides? Try it and see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rookie Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 I will give it a go, you guys have given me enough encouragement to think it might work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rookie Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 This is my problem haha, I want Jenveys for $200, I do agree they are better than most but they still have a million vacuum ports and I don't want any of that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
