Lara Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 I would totally agree! Workings and looks are very close to your original drawing and simplicity to build is a major factor! I would do the same unless feeling exceptionally flushed with time! If you made a hardwood buck the top carbon one could be made out of ally in a morning, but the buck would take a day Lara PS. We will be waiting for the pictures Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

will_warne Posted September 11, 2010 Share Posted September 11, 2010 Nige, this was one of the main issues I sighted with ITBs - that's 2 airboxes with 4 throttle bodies for a V8. In the end it isn't worth it unless you go fairly wild on the cam timing. Lara's point about the number of throttle bodies is a good one - one or 2 75mm throttle bodies would be enough. You have to remember the larger the cross sectional area of the throttle bodies, the more air the throttle will flow at small openings - not good for drivability at small throttle openings. IMHO you want the minimum cross sectional area you can get away with on an off road engine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRecklessEngineer Posted September 12, 2010 Share Posted September 12, 2010 Too overcomplicated. 3 x flanges, and 3 x K&N pimped up blinged and chromed air filters, cos they'll make it go faster innit wkid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
