AT Power Shaftless Butterfly Throttle Bodies – Precision Performance for Naturally Aspirated (NA) & Boosted Engines
Unlock the full potential of your engine with AT Power’s Single Shaftless Butterfly Throttle Bodies, precision-engineered for both naturally aspirated (NA) and forced induction (turbocharged or supercharged) applications. Featuring our innovative patented Shaftless Technology, these throttle bodies deliver up to 10% increased airflow compared to conventional shafted systems, enhancing throttle response and engine efficiency.
Popular Applications
AT Power’s cable pull single throttle bodies are used across a wide range of motorsport and performance applications. Common fitments include:
Kit cars & single-seaters: Caterham, Westfield, Lotus Seven, Ariel Atom, Radical, Formula Student, and custom spaceframe builds. The compact shaftless housing fits tight engine bays where conventional throttle bodies don’t.
Turbo plenum builds: Any turbocharged or supercharged engine using a single plenum-and-throttle induction setup. Popular on four-cylinder and six-cylinder motorsport engines. For 36mm-52mm on a boosted engine, remove the inlet tube and apply sealant at the joint. On 55mm-80mm, boost sealing is integrated.
Carburettor conversions: Converting a Weber, Dellorto, or SU carburettor engine to fuel injection? A cable pull single throttle body is the natural replacement, retaining your existing cable and linkage arrangement while adding EFI capability.
Hill climb & sprint: The direct mechanical connection of a cable pull throttle body is particularly valued in hill climb, sprint, and autocross where precise, responsive throttle control is critical.
Rally & circuit: AT Power throttle bodies are used in professional motorsport across rally, circuit racing, and time attack. The shaftless design’s reliability under sustained competition conditions makes it the choice for serious builds.
