Re: 16v throttle body on an 8v intake?? And Ramblings

["Ryan Schuermann" <rts@phoenix.net>]

not sure about the 16v but the Audi 5000 one works.

speaking of T-bodys. The one on my 2.0L 16v block is angled
a bit, not at a 90deg angle like my 16v 1.8 is. is the 2.0L TB larger
that the 1.8? I've even head of someone installing a Neuspeed large
t-body to their 2.0L, with Motronic ignition. I was looking over
the TB from my 2.0L, and say i take it to a machine shop, have
them enlarge the opening 1 or 2mm (as i think thats all they can go)
and have them cut out new plates the same diameter, will this
increase anything assuming I also go with the 50mm intake runners?
Is it worth it?

basically correct me if i'm wrong on my cis-e. I step on the pedal, 
the tb opens, the crank turns and starts sucking in air, which pulls
the fuel regulator plate thingy up, which dumps the appropriate
ammout of fuel in according to how much air is being sucked in.
so what if the 2nd opening started to open sooner. would that give 
more oomph at low end? if they were bigger it would allow more
air to flow into the combust chamber easier/faster? Also is there 
some mathematical importance to the length of the runners? why
hasn't anyone come up with a shorter path from the fuel distributor
to the t-body to the head?
