TAPERED BORE THROTTLES

 

Tapered Bore Throttles have a clear advantage over Parallel Bore Throttles at increasing power and torque. By accelerating the air through a venturi (in this case a tapered bore) the air speed through the throttle body is increased.  This enhances the engine cycle's scavenging effect to provide more air and fuel in the combustion chamber and therefore more power and torque.

 

The Tapered Bore has 3 sections:

Inlet from ram tube - 50mm

This then tapers down to a short parallel section for the throttle plate - 48mm

There is a second taper down to the outlet flange of the throttle body - 45mm

HP RATINGS

 

HP/kW Ratings vary from engine to engine.  The power ratings given here are only a guide, and are not absolute power ratings.  Engine power is determined by intake, exhaust, cylinder head design, camshaft design, compression ratio, fuel type and quality and many other factors.

 

48mm - 64HP/48KW* per throttle - with the tapered bore giving a potential for 5% above this figure.

 

*This number is a guide only and should be used in conjunction with real-world experience.

PROFESSIONAL GRADE MANUFACTURE

Manufactured from 601 Cast aluminum and heat treated before being CNC machined.

The butterflies are measured for each bore & precision machined to a 0.0005"" tolerance.

Butterflies are secured to centreless ground brass shafts with split screws to ensure reliability and serviceability.

All are fitted with bearings rather than bushes to eliminate axial shaft movement.

Low stiction bearings for sharp throttle response.

We now recommend

and use SKF bearings.
