Carl Posted November 3, 2003 Share Posted November 3, 2003 I will have a spare set of SBD208 jenvey throttle bodies in the next week as I am buying a complete engine with throttle bodies already fitted. The following will be for sale: Full throttle body assembly including manifold and Filter Loom MBE ecu The kit costs £2200 form SBD. Only done around 300 miles. Looking for £1200.

Harry Flatters Posted November 3, 2003 Share Posted November 3, 2003 My God, why didn't I think of that. I'll call him right now 😬 *arrowright*Harry Flatters *arrowright* AKA Steve Mell of Su77on Se7ens and Joint AO - Surrey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl Posted November 3, 2003 Author Share Posted November 3, 2003 Thanks guys for the feedback. I knew that the price was light but I am passing on the benefit of buying the complete engine at a cheaper rate. I would rather pass on the benefits within the club as buying the SBD208 kit has transformed my Caterham. Carl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisC Posted November 3, 2003 Share Posted November 3, 2003 Is that the direct to head TB's, or the DCOE replacement type ? Any pictures ? Chris.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisC Posted November 3, 2003 Share Posted November 3, 2003 OK I assume its not the DCOE replacement TB's. Have you go a pictures of how this install works on a Caterham. Chris. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carl Posted November 3, 2003 Author Share Posted November 3, 2003 Unfortunately the engine deal has fallen through. The guy has just told me that it was sold by his brother without him knowing. To say I am pixxed off is an understatement. Sorry to anyone who was interested in throttle bodies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
microlightman Posted November 4, 2003 Share Posted November 4, 2003 Carl, What sad news. Buy Andy Griffiths car, or source another complete engine and I will buy your TB kit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl Posted November 4, 2003 Author Share Posted November 4, 2003 My current engine is already out of the car and being split for a full rebuild. Going for high lifty cams, uprated value springs and possibly pockets in the pistons depending on the recommended cams. The engine that I was buying was far too cheap and would have cost signifincantly less than the above once the throttle bodies were sold. Shame really. However, I would not have rebuilt the engine that I was purchasing so would not have really known whether the internals were ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Morris Posted November 4, 2003 Share Posted November 4, 2003 Thanks for those Pics. any more please !!!!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl Posted November 4, 2003 Author Share Posted November 4, 2003 Would you like some more pictures. They make a big difference as you can really see what you are buying Phil. Better use a flash next time as it was getting dark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chelspeed Posted November 5, 2003 Share Posted November 5, 2003 If anyone was disappointed to miss this sale then there's a set in Muttering Nudes for £450, MBE. throttle bodies, injectors, manifold, sensors. Could be the DCOE bodies rather than taper throttle at that price I guess and probably not the latest MBE box but well cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
