increasing throttle response? flywheel or throttle body?

[JohnL]

Your knowledge of cars is incredible John,I wouldn't say something like that to you mate!

I'm no automotive encyclopaedia, and there are 'real' experts out there, but I have learnt at least a few things over the years. I have large blind spots in my knowledge, mostly to do with all the electrickery in modern engine management systems.

Tell me the things you speak of!

It's only a few things, I agree with most of it. I'll get back to you, domesticity calls...

P.S. I soooo stoked I've 'helped' to give back to ya!!

Yes it has definitely helped, the engine is significantly more 'drivable' now. It's producing more part throttle torque so is more effortless / relaxing to drive in a sedatish manner (but of course there is no discernable difference at large throttle openings).

Less clutch slippage is now needed on take off and some hills that used to need a downshift or largish throttle opening can now be driven up on a light throttle with no downshift. Downshift 'blips' are definitely more consistent / predictable with noticably faster rpm rise.

I've been meaning to check this for ages, but since the engine was running acceptably I kept forgetting about it. I'm a bit surprised how much difference there is between 0.44v and 0.5v...
