Im having evil ideas brewing again :D
Ok well i have an opportunity to scoop up some cheap gsxr throttle bodies .. what does this have to do with an acura you say ??? hmmmmmmmmmm
wellll if anyone has seen toda racing manifold for the s2000 then youll have somewhat of an idea. I want to do a similar setup with individual throttle bodies
What do you think of this idea ... i have all the tools to properly produce this piece. Would I throw a CEL from the Air sensor because its not coming in through the throttle body anymore ? I know everyone would be concerned about pulling stuff into the throttle bodies .. but i dont think your going to kick a rock that high up into the motor lol. Also i was thinking about using extremely low restriction filters or screens on top of the throttle bodies
What do you guys think ?? Give me feedback, I think this would be good for a nice added hp and torque gain

would it be cool. YES but there would have to be alot of time machining the parts to fit correctly, tunning, and covers

i know that .. like i said i have all the proper equipoment to create this.
what tunning is there? i mean aside from the cel problem i thought of
take any header company for example .. they didnt tune .. ie. change the engine an ecu diameters to better adapt to the new modification. If by tuning you mean "testing" than yea of course theres testing ... ie. seeing which placement works best .. etc etc
tuning and testing are different terms
Why would you want to cover up something so nice as this ? lol i dont think covers would be neccesseray lmao.

and if a cover isnt that important, you might as well take off any intake tubes, or filters you have now and just suck it in from the TB, it would be doing the same thing and would lead to a bad engine quick

Having a seperate TB on each intake runner would result in such a dramatic increase of air that the car's computer would also need to be reprogrammed in order to handle the air flow, increased TB response, and re-map the spark timing, correct? Without this, I doubt that the car would run very efficiently and the mod would almost be worthless because the car could not respond to the presence of the extra TB's properly.

Also, Kris is right about needing a cover or at least some type of filter to keep the air that is running through as clean as possible. Neglecting to do that is a sure way to trash your engine on your TL.

exactly i agree with all of you .. foremost like i said originally a filter or screen would be placed over each throttle body
i guess you guys are right about the ecu .. hmmm damn gotta figure something out abotu that
any ideas ?

i was .. i decided that if i do go the turbo route i would buy another tl-s, lol. Im going to go all motor maybe spray orp a supercharger down the line if it comes to that. (Much easier and cheaper then a one off turbo kit/installation)
But I want to see what I can get out of this motor with the stock bottom end and all motor modifications

@ slide or die @
this is what i'm doing with my corolla engine swap...FILTERING...Highly recomended with itb's
(yes i'm putting a 20v 4age 165hp 8300redline engine in a 1400lbs car)
For tunning: wouln't the vafc you have be enough??

keep us posted
