Individual throttlebodies on Coupe 16V turbo?

Anyone ever tried it or does anyone have any input into this?

Would an I.T.B setup work on a turbo 16V engine?Would you get much or
of a gain?

I asked this question a while ago. The conclusions where:

- it would be expensive. TBs, inlet, plenum etc..
- you would see 'some' gains, unsure exactly what though.
- I doubt there are any off the shelf fitments so custom work needed
- Larger single TB would work better (look at big skylines etc)
- its gonna be hard to balance each TB

And last but not least

- it would look really cool.............

its not always expensive or even that difficult, you could use one from another car like a pulsar Gtir, you would need to make an adapter plate but nothing to difficult, i only have one sitting in my workshop as well

they have a single shaft for all four throttle plates so no need to worry about adjusting them

And also i have a 650+bhp skyline and its still using the individual throttle boddies that come as standard, they work fine upto 1000bhp as well, much more and they start to restrict flow but a single throttle body does have worse throttle response, pulsar throttle boddies are good for 500bhp quite easily

Did you see mine you could do something similar http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v74/sediciRich/IMG_1616.jpg , just need to get an air box made which can take the pressure, actually that would be the only difference - the air box. Use Guy Croft DCOE manifold to DCOE fit throttles, sort out the air box with a few take offs for MAPm dump valve, waste gate supply. Or use DCOE manifold, add injector bosses- weld on air box back plate to manifold (cut out for ports of course) add/weld trumpets, then finish off air box and clamp together with big old single plate on the side. Simple.

Back plate sort of like this

this is the 8 injector box that clamps onto that back plate above (but not with those throttles which could be head side of the back plate) http://images.google.co.uk/imgres?imgurl...%3Doff%26sa%3DN

this guy here has the same approach I said dcoe manifold to 2 part air box and single throtte with trumpets

Very interesting reading and viewing there Sedici.

I spoke to my engine builder this morning aboit I.T.B setup on my 147 turbo engine build,but he rekons the best and easiest solution is a bigger alloy plenum chamber with either a 60mm or 65mm throttlebody on it.


ITB setup runs well on a N/A engine build.but..............
That in order to get ITB,s to work and run smoothly on a turbo engine is alot of hassle and messing for not that much gain,when compared to a bigger/less restrictive alloy plenum chamber and throttlebody setup.

Just wondering if anyone had done it woth a Coupe 16v turbo,so thats why I posted the thread.

sure no problem, I think that vauxhall thread is good to see a custom made manifold using not too much aside from cutting welding and a starting point. If nothing else it looks nice.

This lot would be able to make you custom inlet

Hmmm.... shiny engine bits....

Has anyone done it since the last post??

this is what i have on my brothers celica gt4 track car

ITB's are a bit pointless on a turbo, I mean, think about all the good reasons for using them on an n/a application then try to apply the same reasons to a turbo and you will see they conflict.

There is one good reason I can think of whereby spraying an outboard injector onto the throttle plate helps mixture homeogenity.

One integrale tuner I know uses ITB's, not convinced its worthwile myself.

Any advantage at WOT? Particularly with barrel or slide throttles, as used in many high-end race applications?

Good point about barrels and slides, more than likely no benefit there.

No need, no gain, no point :-)

Just something else to go wrong and having a variable influence on air flow and all that involves into the engine seems to my mind to be daft. Looks smart though eh!

put that money into a bigger turbo, everything else is going to net you not alot,
and you will just be fiddling at the end of the day i think
just my thoughts

intergrale on ferrari bodies

do someone tried again this solution?

There is a factory set that exists for this. Dellorto made injector throttle bodies for a while after the end of the carb era and I had a set. Not sure what car they were on if any but they had stamped on them RA3 or RA4 I think and they had Fiat group pattern cylinder head ports rather than your normal DRLA/IDF style pattern, also with the injector slot as per the inlet. I tried them on an Alfa 155 of a mate of mine probably 15 years ago. They had a TPS sensor on one.

They were also available on the very late Alfa Boxer-style engines that were also Fuel injected (I guess Alfa 146?) also made by Dellorto but I think the inlet diameter was smaller - I also had a set of them, which I acquired at the same time and I recently ebayed.
