    i hope you dont mean 100hp gain?

    on standard cams i doubt you would even gain any power. you may gain some at high revs but lower down will suffer.

    need a custom manifold. you'll also need a standalone ecu. then get the bodies balance and get the car mapped. throttle cable will also need a bit jigary pokery.

    Tbh unless you are getting a seriously wild cam there isn't really any need for TB's except for the noise..

    Its alot of money to get them and to have them setup properly, will also kill fuel economy..

    ''Where a lot off engines like saxos would normally be home to Weber ir Dellorta carbs sadly they just dont physically fit in the engine bay. Now you've two choices what to do when yourve reached the limit of the stock induction manifold and thottle body. The affordable option is to go for a set off R6 bike throttle carbs. Obscure? YES!. Affordable? DEFINITELY!. Dont be tempted to go for bigger R1 versions; Theyre to big for the 1.6 engine. The full set-up only needs to cost around 1000 but great news is they can be run on ' Stock management, Regardless off some forum know-it-alls may tell you''.

    looks like your the forum know-it-all? sorry mate but im gunna say your wrong becouse im sure french car wouldnt put it unless its true in there tuning a saxo guide!

    LOL There is some confusion here.

    Weber and Delorto both do carbs that do fit. I know I have used both. Incidentally the AX sport even came with Solex carbs that are basicly the same size and shape as the Weber DCOE. Though you are much better using something such as a Weber IDF on a RHD car. Here is a photo of a stock AX sport.

    Now bike bodies. No fuel injection bodies of any bike will just bolt on and work with stock ECU. That is correct none. You can bolt some bike carbs on and get them setup to work. But it is in no way ideal. But that is carbs and not throttle bodies.

    if your guna try and be cockey mate, think about what you write. you said throttle bodies in your first post then the mag says carbs. you need to go buy some mroe mags and learn about the differences

    LOL I think it may be the opposite williamsvts. I just think mags tend to be full of as much confusion as forums. Or more even as there is no one there to disagree. Its like that magazine that said the standard internals of the TU engine will not cope with over 7000rpm. When in standard trim many of them do more than that lol. Best to just go work on the car and see what you end up with. Thats why a trust people like longman and GMC as they have tuned these engines for many many years and they really do know a lot about them. Its not just general tuning know how but rather knowing the ins and outs and all the eccentricities of the TU engine.
