Can you tell me more about a Jenvey set up??? I have heard of folks somehow knocking up throttle bodies using motorbike ones and it being a budget way of doing it.

Is this a fairly straightforward mod in terms of bolt on and re mapping?

Jenvey throttle bodies dont fit without cutting a big hole in your bonnet.

Is that a bad thing for a chav like me?

I bet the engine bay would look awesome with throttle bodies on show

Well if you have a spare 7-10k to spend on doing them, then I suppose not !

WSR spent over 30k from start to finish designing and getting there throttle bodies to work !

Blimey dude!!!!!!! No wonder BTCC is so expensive!!!!! I had no idea!

Is it possible to retro fit a Rover 800 plenum/throttle body onto the later KV6 fitted in the ZS and get rid of the plastic one fitted on the ZS?? Surely even though power may drop it can't be that much can it??

Would be good to get rid of that plenum and have a more reliable way of getting power and torque even if that means a stand alone ECU.

The rover 800 plenum also has a vis system, but i believe it is more reliable than the current one.

Anythings possible, if you have the budget Jim, its just is it worth it?
