I expect the pressure will be 14.0 psi [corrected for local barometer offset]. Something like <4% total loss.
How will you pass emission inspection [OBDII] and be in compliance with Federal non tampering rules?
im realy not worried about emission because this is a race car and woln't be on the street...After i get done, im thinking im going to need the bigger throttle body.I plan on boring out the motor to 92mm making it a 2.7l with the cams and headwork i plan on getting ,and possibly going turbo, i would think that would have alot to do with the volume of air coming into the engine.If i decide to do this then im getting a custom manifold anyway so that it will be able to move more air... i was just wonderinga. if idle adjustment is on this throttle body or do i need some type of separate iac.b. that this is a completely cable driven throttle body on some of the older engines.so no ecu control over the tb(cruse control doesn't matter because i wouldn't have to hook the cable up)Realy just give me an overview of a vh45 tb and i will be happy
