Re: Rf 117

The throttle linkages run on the inside and the bell crank will sit outside the air box back towards the collectors.

The butterflys are 52mm which is what caused a fair few problems with the cross over system

Ross, does your race engine run a dry sump ? Its a pain in the perverbial to install but once it is in place you can concentrate on driving rather than checking the oil pressure guage ! We did try an accumulator on the Cobra but even with that at Phillip Island it would tale a good 100 meters after the final corner onto the straight to build the pressure back to a safe level, If you have sorted your handling problems your corner speeds will increase with all the associated surge problems.
