individual throttle bodies

[badintentions]

i know that some of the sr guys are running the blue bird manafold with individual throtal bodys for better throtal responce so i thought to my self why couldent i make a manafold with individual throtol bodys i work at a welding shop and fell like trying it wanted to see what people would think any suggestions and tech stuff like how big each one would be rember these throtol bodys will be placed on the runners

This may be a good place to check out and reference.

instructions for how to do this to a ka are actually right on wikipedia and their are a few people on son240sx.org doing this also

[badintentions]

thats a really good write up but i still need a manafold connection for all because of the turbo its more like a standerd manafolld but the throtol bodys being on the runners instead of on the end of the manafold

That was painful to read. Look man, its a turbocharged car, your throttle response is going to suck anyway unless you are already in the powerband. Just get you a big single throttle body and enjoy.

I'm not saying you shouldn't do this, as it would be sweet as f***, but it is a hell of a lot of work, and you have to be good at fabricating.

you mean like an RB26 setup?

Wow. If the OP doesn't start making his post's easier to read and more coherent, I'm locking this, and anything else he/she does until then.

[badintentions]

this is only going to be a little side thing. i want help with ideas on fabrication, not and english lesson.

[rico05]

But we have to read what you post in order to help you. And there are some of us (ahem..me) that have english degrees that have to muscle through your posts and facepalm all the way.

An ITB setup is wonderful for response and midrange torque, but the necessary fabrication is not worth it. There was a poster on here at one point that made his own barrel ITB setup (he was German IIRC) and while wonderful engineering excercise, not at all worth the meager benefits over a properly tuned surge tank style manifold and runners. Lots of high HP RB26s have converted to a single TB. This a wonderful idea, and if you have the time, capacity and funds...go for it! But I suspect you are just bored and looking for something to chat about.

pictures of said setup?

[sldwys]

Just waiting for This to arrive from japan with throttle bodies and adaptor plate

[bentvalves]

damn, oldschool goodness

[sldwys]

also matches my HKS coilpack cover and HKS cast manifold

Older its better

[bentvalves]

dang the entire combo, congratulations on acquiring that trio!

wellington...UK, NZ ?

[sldwys]

NZ mate Yeah got a few goodies up my sleeve for her.

Will post pics one day.

[ragenasian]

That thing was at like 500 bucks wasn't it? I just saw that on Japan yahoo auctions. That will be killer.

[dattodude]

whoah ..that's the good gear right there!

[sldwys]

yup.... Quite expensive... But I had to have it .... lol

[rico05]

WOW. Old school HKS goodness. You are my new hero.

[sunny ca18de]

[niscort]

I did see that, Doesnt phaze me too much as I have a GTR ITB setup sitting at - Just in the middle of getting the adaptor-runners made.

[niscort]

Oh, sorry then, I had assumed it was the "other" half of the plenum you recently won.

My first query for a pic way above was to see the actual setup of linkages and throttle for the itbs...

looks like its going to be a hot auction as its already quite high with a few days to go, along with a few fimilar bidders. Ive only ever seen one other nismo adaptor before.. it was far from cheap too.

I produced an adaptor similar in design for my throttles, it was a major headache so it may definately be worth the money it goes for.

[sldwys]

yeah i was going to keep an eye on it and see what it goes for.... But custom should be more fun

[sldwys]

these must be gone forever now huhh??.....

to me...... lol

anywone want to buy some GTR ITB lol
