Quad throttle bodies on an m42

[rolls_on_19 0]

Was jus thinking bout trying this the other day. Can anyone see an problems with using a setup off a 4age or and sr20?

Obviously i would have to get a new intake manifold fabricated but what else would need to be done???

Any help or ideas would be great.

And i want to stick with the m42 engine okay

A HFM/MAF would be better.

Prolly still works with the stock ECU and ultra chrisp throttle response.

The lack of runner & trumpet lenght looks more of a "mass production" result than a finely tuned solution, prolly still better than stock!!

I'd go for some of these bad boy's: http://www.speed-technology.com/efi_throttle.html

haha the sarcasm doesn't carry through teh interweb

going to all the cost of ITB's and shizzle...and not bothering to remove the metal flap in the air intake...awesome

Dead right about that one Gus, a lot of expense to then go and leave that bloody trap-door bunging up the intake!..........

Maybe a " :thumb: good-one" would have confirmed the sarcasm

You'll prolly find it was a early '90's "bolt-on" deal, back when HFM/MAF's weren't widely used and adding new ECU to an already $$$ kit would have been $$$$$$$$$$$$.

And besides BMW saw fit to use the flapper on the E30 M3's why not a M42 :thumb:
