Default Proposed Throttle body mods

Another picture of a set of Fireblade throttle bodies once stripped



As explained, I would like to try and use an Air Intake Control stepper motor (IAC) to assist cold start & engine idle.

Here are my proposed changes

The red dots are where the original air by-pass plungers were removed from.
It will be simple to replace them with fittings for air intake pipes.

The Yellow dots are where the exsisting air intakes are. These will need to be blanked off. Not so simple but do-able.

The IAC unit is the Black thing with the 4 wires.
I have drawn the proposed air intake pipe set up.

This AIC unit came from a Rover K series engine & would be quite simple to adapt in order to fit to the main air intake pipe or filter box.
The main air intake area is marked in Blue.

Oh, & make a manifold to suit
