    if you donthave a clue then you deffo wouldnt be able to fit them. i suggest you take the car and the bodies to a tuning garage and let them work there magic

    I can only see 1 connector/sensor?

    Might help if you put pictures of the actual sensor/s your not familiar with.. Someone's bound to recognize them.

    If 'you can't work it out' how to simply bolt them to them to the head/ plug in the connector's you unplugged to take the OE inlet off, Then how you expecting to set the 'carbs' up.
    (edit this sounds arsey as fuck! Didn't mean it to sound like that.. carbs are a bitch to set-up on a fuel injected engine..)

    Wait a minute.. Why do they have 2 fuel rails on??

    thats what i mean i think one is redundent. its like the throttle cable is on the opposite side, and do i use the icv and map sensor on these there is one plug what i know is for the fuel and the 2 black sensors what i think one of them is for the map sensor then there is one i dont know what its for. but i think the rail near where the trumpets go is to block the holes up what would of been the old system for the bike

    Are the map sensor / icv connector's on the bodies the same as the one's on the saxo inlet?

    If so you will simply plug your loom connectors onto them.

    If not, you will have to figure a way to wire them in. (could be mk1/2 ICV / TPS connectors so if yours is the opposite.. you'll need to swap them for the right one's)

    Closer pic's of all the connectors will help people understand what you need to do more.

    Ok so

    1st pic - obviously needs a throttle cable to suit - have a look on some people's progress threads with throttle bodies and see how they did it / which cable they used.

    2nd pic - the green plug is the injector loom connector - a mk1 connector. Also the black connector looks like a ICV connector.

    3rd pic - the black connector looks like a map sensor connector. However it could be for the ICV and the other one for the map sensor.

    Also in the 3rd pic - the flat piece of metal sticking out - that's where the TPS (throttle position sensor) connect's to.

    That should clear up most of it mate

    you wont have a map sensor on the bodies, disregard the sensor entirely. you will need to fit a tps on the end of the butterfly shaft, opposite end to where the throttle cable meets (can be seen on the last picture, gold coloured part)

    maybe, maybe not. depends what the bodies came off and what work was done when adapting them for use on a car

    oh i thought you were on about throttle bodies... well i dont know anything about carbs but on my bodies i used a colvern cp17 TPS spliced in to my loom and cable tied the IAT sensor on to the brake bar in front of the trumpets and removed the RP, ICV and MAP sensors out of my loom as they werent needed
