hey guys and the few women. me and my buddy are resto moding a 1984 rs turbo capri. we built up the motor pretty good if i say so, custome pistons ect.
we are going to be running a front mount inter cooler, so where turning the intake 90 deg to face forward. we got the upper and lower off a svo so we were able to gut the upper after i add more metal to fill the groves that are on two of the sides. i allso knifed the lower.
befor i weld the mounting plate back to the upper and finsh the port job on it where looking for a bigger throttle body. i have seached and have yet to see a bigger throttle body made for the 2.3 turbo motor. i have heard of people useing 5.0 throttle bodys befor. i have a few question how can i get around the tps hook up. and what ones would work good for the car. we plan on running high boost. i can get adpater plates made and i can handle the tig welding so i know iam going to have to do some fab work.
