Hey guys, I am after a complete Starion throttle body injection unit to put on my '80 Sapporo. I want the one with the oval intake - any condition is fine as I intend on rebuilding it with new o-rings and gaskets.
Let me know what you guys have.
Cheers,
Phil

Hrmm I may be able to use the injectors out of my round port unit but not sure.
I don't really want to go MPI as thats a bit of fab work and plus I would have to get an aftermarket computer which I don't really want to do. This car isn't going to be a speed king but I just want it to run a bit better than it is now. I'm happy to stick with the SOHC and ECI. If I were to go MPI I may as well go the whole hog and get a VR-4 head and associated DOHC bits.
How much would postage be from you to Hamilton New Zealand post code 3216?
Cheers,
Phil

The injectors for a JB unit(Round TB) won't fit in2 a JA(oval TB) manifold, the wires are captive on JA units & prone to failure, JB units are conventional units that you are conversant with. :beer

What the hell throttle body do I have then?
It's the factory one on my 1980 Sapporo/Eterna GSR. Are you saying the JB Starions went back to using that round type one after they used the oval inlet type?

well in Australia anyway. We got the one you pictured there in our JA Starions only. JB, JD Starions, AA, AB, AC Turbo Cordias went to the circular inlet that is usually referred to as "type 2" injection.

Dirty galant:
Your one is very similar to the JA one except it has a round throttle body/cross over connection unlike the typical oval ones.

OK well to clarify I am after one which has the oval type inlet, and has the same injector size/type as my current one - so I guess I'm after an aussie JA Starion TBI. Here the NZ spec ones don't go by the JA, JB, JD etc naming system. Same with the Cordias - no such thing as AA, AB, AC over here.

OK, that unit U have is a MIKUNI unit, we didn't get these delivered here in Oz, I think I have 1 of those, I have 3 JA's & 2 JB's, now the injectors in yr TB are almost the same as JA units, but from memory the flow is different, what is wrong with yr injectors? if they R ok, use them in one of our JA mixers TB, which I can supply.... If U want I can take pics to clarify :beer

I just want a throttle body unit which I can bolt in place of my current one, but I would prefer the oval intake and I would want it to plug in to current electrical connectors and run off my standard ECU.
Why did Mitsubishi have to make different throttle bodies in the production run? arggh.
