Dreadnought throttle bodies...

[cacatous]

Has anyone had these fitted and do they make much difference?

[YAHOO]

I have them and they change the cars drivabality and performance by miles - No more lumpy ride at low rpm. Mine used to miss at high rpm but is now as smooth as an M3 engine. You hear dealers changing HT leads and using the DE/Throttle chip to try and cure some of these problems, but most owners still find it only softens out the lumpyness to a degree. You can also have the standard chip fitted back to give your Tus that kick in the back feeling again as the D/T chip softens out power delivery and curve of the engine giving the feeling your car is not as quick as it was. The factory tried to do the same thing with the T/Bodies but I think they could not get the same result - Dreadnought seem to have it right. Hope this is of some help to you.
PS if you do have it done you'll kick the ass of any other Tus you come up against. Have fun :-)

"carbon air box, forced induction,water injection"

YAHOO, can you please please please tell us more about the above from your Tuscan's profile ?

I am assuming the "forced induction" is the opening in your front bonnet rather than a supercharger....

Water injection sounds interesting...

Did Dreadnought do all this work for you ?

Also I think this is your second Tuscan...from memory your first was a Red Rose, is this one a standard 4 litre model ?

cheers

Dreadnought charge £500 fitted on an exchange basis, this also includes set up and chip if needed which i thought was excellent value for the differance in the way the car goes.If you know any one who went to Zolder last year they will tell you just how quick the car is.
Induction kit gives approx 6%-8%performance gain at over 90mph air flow but no more than 8% at any speed, carbon air box is upper section only with slightly longer tracts but it sounds amazing.Water injection no more.
And yes this is standard 4l but had all RR bits fitted then changed to what it is now.

Like your colour combo on your Tus (whitey)very nice.

PS Dreadnought TVR only fit the T/BOD kit up here i think,they dont do mail order .They are only about 2 Tuscans in England had this done but 10 or so in Scotland .

So what's the point of water injection if there's no gain. Water injection lowers the temp and therefore increases the density of the intake air charge (Harrier Jump Jet uses this principle to good effect)there has to be a gain albeit slight IWW in a Scotland Winter.
