My throttle body conversion is *supposed* to be ready this afternoon but after ordering the majority of the parts back in September and the car spending the best part of 5 months at the garage, I ain't holding my breath.

However as soon as it's back, I'll post pics' and power figures.

long time no post Dave, good luck with getting ur Kat back

sure looking cool on the outside

searching is fruitful | I'm a sponge not a mechanic | please do try that if stuck with a Puma problem whilst waiting for a reply | For the Puma fan this read 'The Inside Story Book' is very nice to own sometimes still seen for sale

TB's - Jenvey 4 x tapered with airhorns inside a bespoke airbox (filtered by Piper-X Viper with cold air feed pipe), one-off inlet manifold (v.short)

FRP CAT and exhaust manifold mated to Mongoose s.s. exhaust

Cams - Piper Rally profile and Vernier Pulley (exhaust only)

ECU - Omex 3d mapped engine management (piggy bagged onto Ford ECU (Major pain to sort out but apparently fine now)

....and guess what, another deadline passed. Still not mapped. Fuelling done but not ignition so now Monday at earliest. :cry:

Ho hum, I've waited nigh on 6 months for it, so another couple of days...!!!

What sort of power gains are you expecting Dave? FRP regions by the looks of it

Jason,

I am hoping for a bigger power hike than the FRP! I ain't that bothered about figures (lying probably) but just after having a big grin everytime I plant my right foot! Original aim was 138bhp at the wheels. (162bhp flywheel). Fingers crossed I will surpass that! :wink:

I will let you all know.
