    Individual Throttle Bodies

    Figures... Time to get creative I guess!

    Individual Throttle Bodies

    Thanks for the link! Does the map signal need to be pulled after the throttle plate? If not then I can get it off the plenum before it divides into four.

    Individual Throttle Bodies

    There is no turboford.com and turboford.net I cannot find "intake fabrication and formulas" under faqs. Could you maybe throw a link my way? I could always use another cross reference for my math. I was acctually pretty good at math, could never stand math class but acctually doing it wasn't...

    Individual Throttle Bodies

    I've got a 240z with dual carbs, I know a little about synchronizers.. Might upgrade to triple webers, then I'll have to know even more. For TBs there is a little adjustment device that needs to be fitted between the shafts so that they can be balanced. I found a really simple one that I am...

    Individual Throttle Bodies

    Sorry, I used the wrong terminology. What I mean to say is like the the first reply, it would slow the air down too much. It would become inefficient. I suppose a quick way to estimate the TB size would be to simply measure the size of the port, that should get me in the right area. Of course...

    Individual Throttle Bodies

    Four stock throttle bodies was never a consideration, its just too much air. However I have a set of TBs from a much smaller engine and when paired (total of four) should give about the right flow. I know theres a ton of calculations and such to figure out the perfect intake, they will be...

    Individual Throttle Bodies

    I've been planning to run a better flowing head, like the round port or ranger head that I've read about. I need to do more research before I figure anything further. I was intending to build a plenum(log manifold) that would split the flow from the intercooler into the four tbs then make a...

    CARB SWAP ?

    As long as the cfm is similar and its the same basic type it shouldnt be much of a problem. An adapter plate may be required but a good machine shop can cut that for you.

    CARB SWAP ?

    Judging by your location, throwing parts at it isn't an option so you might want to do some serious trouble shooting to find the problem.

    Individual Throttle Bodies

    I'm looking into building an ITB system for my new turbo engine and I wanted to get some opinions on it. Obviously its not necessary since the engine is mostly stock but it'll look cool and I've got all the parts to build it laying around. I'm going to be running a megasquirt so tuning it...

    What would an 87 SVO look like?

    I've got some ideas, idk if they are good or not but its a start. I'm thinking for the hood, get the intake off of a turbocoupe and graft it onto the stock stang hood. Ford never would have done it but I think it'll look good. I still dont know if I'm going with a TC intercooler or front mount...

    93 LX

    I've gotta agree with rustbucket. I briefly looked into a 5.0 swap on my '87, even talked a buddy out of a wicked roush turbo engine and t56 combo for dirt cheap, but when I started adding up all the parts and what it would cost to put it all together I decided against it. Besides the SVO engine...

    Need Camshaft Advice

    I recently picked up an SVO engine to rebuild and upon teardown I found that the cam and followers are junk. I can either get an early TC cam or a ranger cam or if I save a few pennies I can probably pickup something aftermarket. I hesitate to do so because its going to be basically stock. I...

    What would an 87 SVO look like?

    Because I like the way SVOs look and I cant afford one so why not put one together myself? Its cheaper that way. Besides all the parts of the SVO that I like are easy to come across.

    carbed turbo?

    I dont know a whole lot about the carbed turbos but buy the car, pull the engine and anything else valuable then scrap the rest. Between selling the good parts and the money from the scrapper you'll get your $150 back.

    what ever happened with the volvo DOHC swap?

    Are you still willing to modify the volvo heads to sell? If so I'll be contacting you shortly.

    Body Panels?

    I'll see if I can pick one up locally for cheap. At least winter is the season for cheap sports cars.

    What would an 87 SVO look like?

    I was hoping for something a little more unique, but then you dont see many SVOs in these parts. I'll probably just end up putting on what catches my eye and call it good. btw, there's a couple intact turbocoupes in the junkyard near me if you are still looking for the parts you list in your sig.
