    Alot of work for unproven gains like mentioned.

    If your looking to move away from a single throttle body and you have deep pockets best talking to people like GMC, Jam-Sport, Carworx and Pug1-Offs who have done this kinda of work before.

    Do a search on Rallye Inlet manifolds etc as they are both (S2 and VTR) pretty much the same 8v engine with slightly different bits like inlet manifold, Cam, exhaust manifold (I think) so look to that as a different way of 8v tuning

    no real point in doiing it on a vtr.. Save Money and get a VTS engine then put a set of throttle bodies and get a re-map.. works awsumm!!..

    not everyone can afford to insure a VTS on T/B's mate

    didn't think you could re-map an ecu to suit T/B's though you had to go standalone, etc

    Would need an igniton only ecu or a new head such as an xsi or similar to support a dizzy for it to work on a saxo. And really a good cam to make the most of it. If the carbs are taken to a good place and set-up correctly they should work fine.

    Depends on your budget really mate. Carbs are cheaper to do if you know what your doing. But are always a compramise to throttle bodies as these would be running perfect pretty much all the time. Carbs would be a lot harder to maintain too. All depends on what you want though mate.

    will it be shit? yes is my answer.

    get a proper engine in instead.

    or get proper bodies not carbs

    you could use your standard ecu to run the ignition, and you wouldnt need a new head. could keep the coil pack aswell if your running the standard ecu to operate ignition.
