Default Re: Suzuki GSXR 750 quad Throttle Body Install on 2.3 L Duratec

Thanks for the links. The GXR throttle bodies do unbolt, but the secondary throttle plate shaft is one piece. You would have to cut this shaft and make couplers or build a new shaft. Then you would also have to make extenders for the primary throttle body linkages. That 3/4 inch spacing difference is also going to be essential on the Duratec 2.3 To clear the power steering pump with the linkage. I did consider the ramifications of spacing these bodies out.
The Mr. Gasket Bell Crank, although a bit large, fit the plastic Suzuki bushing on the shaft well. This arm will rotate free on the shaft and engage a second arm placed on top of it. This second arm will be setscrewed to the shaft. The two vacuum actuating butterfly motors will act on these arms. I think I will have space for these next to the powersteering pump because of the offset bores.

phongshader. I took a look at your second link. A cast manifold would be so cool. How about an ABS manifold CNC'd from 2 inch billet. That would be cool too. Both beyond my means. My ABS manifold might be a good prototype though.
Deagle50AE-Thanks.
