Some progress for anyone who cares
The Citroën c2 vts throttle body is a no go on this engine as it is controlled electronically rather than by cable, so that's gone on eBay.
Now for an interesting bit after some research, I'm planning to now use a clio 172 throttle body, it's slightly larger than the current j4 one, but has the useful feature of being cable operated, so should be as simple as making an adapter plate to fit the aluminium plenum stud pattern. Just need to find a decent price clio throttle body now....
Lots of research being going on in my free time, planning ahead for forging my block and raising the compression....
Some interesting differences between the j4 and jp4 engines
J4 has a stronger bottom end, thicker conrods and proper gudeon pins, while Peugeot Lightened the bottom end of the jp4 for a higher rev limit, but a downside of this, press fittings on everything, so pita to upgrade separate components.... More on that in the future.
Found out by checking serial numbers while it's been on the ramp that I'm running bilstein b8 shocks all round which was a pleasant surprise
Some painting has being going on too, scuttle panel going satin black, plus bits like the ecu tray and wiper arms etc
