So ill preface this by saying that this isnt strictly bike motivated but i need some help from the people who do know bike
What im looking to do is mate a set of K series throttle bodies to car engine to craft myself an inexpensive quad throttle body setup. My research has lead me here and specifically to the K1100 set of throttle bodies that ive seen a few different post of people using on their K100 bikes. They certainly seem the way to go for what im hoping to achieve as theyre simple enough, look robust, have the right size etc etc but before i was prepared to take the plunge and buy a set of ebay or some such i need to get some measurements and because im planning to use them outside their intended design there isnt any information on things i need to know(that i can find) and i havent been able to find a wrecking locally with any that i can eyeball.
So i was kind of hoping someone on here might have a set sitting around and a few minutes with a set of vernier to spare.
The measurements im looking for are
Internal Diameter at the butterfly
External Diameter (both ends if theyre different)
Length of the body (ie barrel length)
Spacing centre to centre (and need to know if theyre uniform)
Overall length of all 4 when mounted on the rail
I also wouldnt mind a bit more info on their construction like whether the throttle cable is the centre mounted cable or the end mounted (near the TPS) and if the 2 ports out are both vacuum.
Now that ive typed it all out i feel like im asking for quite a bit of information maybe if someone has a blue print it might save me some time!
Hopefully someone can help me out, or atleast point me in a direction i can find out
Thanks guys and gals
