THROTTLEBODY QUERIES..

[CMF_cactus]

HEY FELLOW MICRA LOVERS, IM PUTTING A TURBO ON MY K11 AND WAS AFTER SOME INFO ON THE THROTTLEBODY. CAN YOU USE THE STANDARD ONE IF RUNNING VERY SMALL PSI BOUT 5-ISH.DO THE STANDARD THROTTLEBODIES HAVE AN AIR FLOW METER AS AN ALL IN ONE UNIT INCORPORATED IN THE TOP OF IT. WILL I HAVE TO GET A THROTTLEBODY THAT RUNS AN AFM IN THE PIPE THAT GOES TO IT. SORRY IF MY EXPLAINATION IS NOT MAKING SENSE. ANY HELP BE MUCH APPRECIATED. THANKS

Depending on what you intend on doing in terms of engine management, you may be able to keep the stock AFM but you'd be better off running a MAP system - even fuel-only setups like the Haltech F5, as crude as they may be, use manifold pressure instead which makes the setup simpler if you get a barb put onto the intake pipe or tap into an existing line.

Several people who went the boosted route kept the standard throttlebody and either relocated their MAF or used MAP instead.
