<VV> Megasquirt Throttlebodies

[Marty Scarr]

Hi Blaine

Go here for motorcycle throttle body info:

I'm using the GSXR 600 units for my conversion.  Their ID matches the
inlet ports on the head pretty well.   You can get them on ebay for
cheap.
Here's a picture of the throttle bodies:

I'm going to go the throttle-body route, so as to keep costs at a minimum.  I'm thinking the way to go is with a throttle-body (or two) from a motorcycle or 4-wheeler.  My buddy and I put a pair of modified Yamaha 400 EX carbs on a corvair and WHEW!  Talk about snappy throttle response!  We had trouble with hood clearance, though, because the carbs are side-draft, and we don't have a mandrel bender at our disposal.  So I would like to stick with a pair of down-draft throttle-bodies if possible.  I'm not looking for performance so much as fuel economy and reliability.  Anyone care to comment on my ideas?
