quad throttle bodies

[matt4pl]

my question is, how much would it cost to get a quad throttle set up, and how much extra hp would i gain, along with torque, flow, and responsiveness? i did a quick search and turned up nothing solid, jsut bits

quad throttle bodies?...well..our car comes with a single throttle body...and it's already plenty big...the only thing you might need is a bullfrog(?) throttle body...but ours our plenty big?..quad?..i hope this is a joke

ahh, he must have seen the quad carb setup; mayb that's what he's referring to

maybe, dunno, i got the notion that the M3 enigne has a throttle body per cylidner, but i havent double checked yet, and maybe 4 is overkill, but splitting the intake into twin throttles and 2 sets up runners? dunno, this is new terrotory for me, ive been looking mostly into bolt ons

PS- there have been posts where quad throttle bodies were mentioned, and i doubt it was on carb'ed enignes, i'll post the links tomorrow

Well, the problem is that the throttle bodies would have to be custom made or kind of a piece togethe thing because they dont make a setup for the KA (which i assume you are referring too). They do make a quad throttle body for the SR and it is mad money. Its supposed to increase response, and I'm sure it adds power, i think it would add more air to each cylinder. not exactly sure how effective it is though. It would definately cost lots of money to make it though.

enjoy;)

nice, thanks, and it is expensive, but oh well, just a though, although, if done, i think the car would sound like a monster and respond like one

the quad throttle body for the sr you usually see is a modified gti-r setup.

Yeah the GTi-R intake is the only actual production version but there is someone on a nissan forum (dont recall which one, email me and i could find it again) that put it on the RWD SR20. It would make our setup pretty unique but not sure it would work to the best advantage.

BMW's M series used individual T.B.'s and works well in their N/A setup. Couldnt tell you whether on not you would really gain anything on a SR20. now the RB engine series is a difference story.

Well, they do make aftermarket individual throttle bodies for SR20 RWD in Japan, but I think the cost is about $1000.
