I did similar to my stock one cut the restrictor off and used carbon fibre to cover the hole (dont you love contacts in the aircraft industry) a few layers of carbon a bit of resin and what do ya know didnt last a week. your special tape works better than the almighty carbon fibre :Dthat's awesome total I spent about $300 including the silicone and clamps and most of it is hanging around the garage in a sad sad state lol. If you need a hand with it let me know I aint far from you.All you need is those really thin grinding discs for the angle grinder or even better if you have a drop saw with the metal cutting discs like they use in exhaust shops it will be a breeze.

Sounds a bit easier to tune rather than mutliple throttle bodies.. flow will be good too...How can I get in contact with that company you mentiond... "Jays RPD"?

NA-06-XR Member 112 Member For: 17y 9m 11d Posted 31/01/07 11:46 AM Author Share Posted 31/01/07 11:46 AM Forget that last request.. found their website that you had referenced on a "fordforums" thread... (did a quick google search and found it)...There was quite a bit of work involved in this twin throttle body setup...More than I thought...You spent quite alot of time on figuring out where to run the intake pipes too... I would love to see the jaysRPD sectuplet manifold... I wonder if they rebuilt the entire bottom half of the original plenum...???I sat here last night and thought about what to do with the entire setup... Its coming to me slowly... (I have the old ford manifold on my lap and just stare at it and think of sh*t to do...)...the only part I will have trouble with is everything I would like to do involves adding extra sensors and adding some extra values to the lines in the programming...Have ideas but NOOO way of implementing it....anyways.. I'll sit and think of more...Daniel... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was going to call mick tomorrow too... have a chat about if buts and maybes... oh well....looks like its our own backs carrying the weight...this is going to be fun... this weekend... I'll pull off the nizpro manifold and figure out how its designed... see if I can pull any hints from it...Anyways... catchya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't increasing the air intake on an N/A similar to increased PSI on a standard throttle body... ???think of it as say... 0.0005psi...how does the supercharged engine deal with the extra flow rates?Or are we looking at a completely separate issue of air sensor readings being taken from the actual throttle body itself?those are the questions I have... dan out... sleep time...

Are they really that much of a restriction at WOT? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wanna see the inside.Hiddeous as for the vacuum testing I dont have access to the required equipment. if anyone does im happy to put the hard yards in and do the testing.
