for my 2316 it seems that the stock plenum might be reaching it's limits as far as volume goes.....so, I either fabricate a larger common plenum, or go with individual throttle bodies such as TWM or Jenvey*
single plenum would be easiest, but the individual throttle bodies look better (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) has anyone switched from one to the other on the same motor with everything else being the same??? *Jake Raby is the U.S. distributor of these.... |

The common plenum system will make more power than an IR manifold. The IR will allow instant throttle response, therefore making them a much better choice for a situation where rapid and frequent throttle position changes occur.
While I was at work last night, I was thinking about coming up with a couple of prototype Common Plenum manifolds. I was trying to decide what throttle bodies and fuel injectors to set them up with. The Djet stuff in my opinon is not a good choice for fuel management, but Kit Carlson might be up for the task. What kind of interst would I see. Since I don't have a running injected car, and am not planning on building one anytime soon, I need someone to do some testing. Jake, got anything running Kit Carlson with an engine with more capacity, 2270+.? Here is the problem. IT would only work for a teener, because anyone running any kind of Upright cooling system would not be able to run this. Don't think I want to try and design one for an upright motor. |
