Okay I wasn't going to do this yet but everyone has been pestering me so I am giving everyone some news.
But before I start let me make this part clear - the twin TB system is not going to be cheap, nor is it going to be suitable for the everday driver. this is geared towards the more serious owner who is going to have something visually different, possibly nitrous and plans on doing some fairly good mods to the car. If this i snot you - then stick with the high flowed throttle body system.
Now that I have got that part off my chest,
We just ordered threeof our new throttle bodie systems from the states. These are brand new CNC machined throttle bodies with three options
(A) Cheapest - twin 52mm throttle body
(B) Dearer - twin 58mm throttle body
(C) Best - twin 58mm throttle body with in built nitrous passages (This one got your interest)
But we will start at the beginning.
The basic kit is a parallel twin 52mm throttle body. We will be cutting and manafacturing a new high flowing designed intake manifold top half only, adapting the new twin unit on and utilising factory TPS switch, Idle speed control.
Cruise control and traction control we will be working on at a later date. They are planned to be adapted in the future.
The upgrade is essentially the same thing but using a twin 58mm unit for larger air volumes.
The final kit though using the same throttle body CNC machined but has factory fitted Nitrous Channels built into it. This mean you simply hook up your fuel and NOS lines to the throttle body, fit your jets into it internally and off you go. With the new designed manifold we will also ensure full air flow into all cylinders.
Of course all of these will require a piggy back computer but will be hooked up via a single air inlet hose so MAF sensor gets to stay to help with tuning.
Side Note - our current cold air kits would have to be modified to accept this system.
We are using these designs as our starting point although we still may end up making our own CNC designs but these are our starting points.
I will try to keep people updated but if things go well we should have one of these ready sometime in the next eight weeks.
Feel free to ask away an questions!
