if you use bigger throttle bodies, you'll also need to get a power boost valve. because youre increasing the air flow, you'll need to increase the fuelling too (and maybe a new throttle cable for better response)
Do you know what size your escort throttle body is? if its 42mm one, i wouldnt mind takin it off your hands wink - if not i can always get one off a smahed up puma

I ended up sticking the 2.0lt Throttlebody on - I read that sometimes it makes it run lean but its working fine. I know what you mean about a powerboost valve, me thinks thats on my list of 'To do's'

Neovo - I take it they arnt the standard parts hence the price!

Lazy_Ben what litre is tha KA,cos am gonna keep my old 'body' but i only paid 15 notes for the 2lt from a scrappy, a worthy investment me thinks

my ka's a 1.3. Its possible to fit 42mm and 50mm throttle bodies with an adaptor thingy. But for the bigger one of the 2, I'd need bigger injectors, otherwise its pointless. I'm gonna have a look around some scrappies later on to see if i can find anything.
