Notes:

Thank you for choosing an RHD product. All RHD parts and products are designed for performance and racing purposes, what you do with your vehicle is your responsibility and no liability will be taken by RHD Engineering for your actions.

This kit is designed to work with the standard ECU and does work very well straight off installation. In many cases installing a standalone ecu will bring the best results depending on the level of other engine modifications. Many tuning companies offer services for tuning the factory DME this is recommended at the very least for optimizing the drivability and maximize the performance. Some discussions with a local engine tuner will help to assess your requirements.

To install and set up this kit you will need some 8mm vacuum hose, a basic understanding of mechanical devices and the appropriate mechanics tools. You will also need a carburetor synchronizing tool to adjust and balance the throttles, this is important.

Your kit should include the following parts. Please check all the parts are included and contact us immediately if you have any pieces missing.

Assembly Procedure:

Assemble the throttles leaving the balance adjusters only slightly tight. Adjust the balance adjuster screw so it protrudes at lease 2mm towards the J spring. Install the manifolds and attach the throttles remember to install the linkage mounting plate on the centre throttle.

Make sure all the throttles are fully closed before you fully tighten the clamps on the balance adjusters.

Next install the linkage and idle circuit parts and install the trumpet spacers only, no backing plate, trumpets or plenum for the moment.

Now you can start the engine and synchronization the throttles, this is EXTREMELY sensitive and essential for smooth idle and good light throttle driving.

To do this you will need the use of a synchronizer such as the one pictured below. Open the idle stop screw until the engine is running at least 1000rpm then fit the synchronizer to each trumpet.

Adjust the balance couplings until the flow into each runner is exactly the same. Adjust the idle stop back down to the desired idle speed.

Plenum:

Remove the spacer’s then build an assembly of the backing plate spacers and trumpets leaving all the screws loose. Bolt on the plenum and fully tighten. Install the whole assembly back onto the engine again making sure the screws between the trumpets and spacers are nice and loose this will make it easier align and attach the spacers back onto the throttle bodies.

Install all the screws before any of them are tightened. Lastly tighten the spacers onto the trumpets and backing plate.

Assembly Notes:

Study the following drawings very closely they show the EXACT placement of all the fittings and linkage parts.

Note: there are small washers required UNDER the m5 rod end drop link parts this is essential to allow the m5 rod end bearing to have enough clearance as the linkage moves through its travel.

The small return spring on the master ITB is only intended as a SECONDARY spring to ensure the throttles close should any linkage part becomes loose or disconnected. A second main return spring is included this can be pre-loaded up to a maximum of 180 degrees to add the desired amount of pedal resistance.

For nice progressive throttle action keep the drop link as short as possible. However if your ITB does not reach full throttle when the pedal is fully depressed then adjusting the drop link to a longer length and resetting the cable slack will alter the mechanism gain and will enable the throttle to reach full open.

Make sure the linkage moves freely and smoothly without any binding. It is important the ITB linkage doesn’t reach full throttle when there is still lots of extra travel on the pedal this will over load your cable and ITB linkage resulting in possible damage or premature failure.

Note: For correct brake booster operation you will need to attach the vacuum hose to the T fitting provided on the manifold. The booster will work exactly as it did before running from just 1 cylinder. The vacuum from 1 cylinder is much stronger than the signal from the vacuum accumulator block! DO NOT connect the booster line to the vacuum block! It is essential that the small plastic 1-way valve fitted to the factory booster line is maintained.
