Multiple throttle bodies

[Gaslight]

I am just finishing up a manifold that mounts 20V Toyota Corrolla throttle bodies to a Ford SVO 4 cylinder. Anyone seen or heard of people doing this? Any known issues on the Ford motor?

i don't think it would be a problem, but what are you going to use to control fuel? You'll have to recalibrate the TPS output to compensate for the air flow at different TP%.

I guess if it's using a MAF setup it wouldn't be that bad.. the problem I've seen with just going with larger throttlebodies is at 15% throttle the larger TB is going to allow more air through than the smaller Tb at 15%.

I would like to see that. Have you made any progress on it? Take any pics?

Joe,

I was going to run everything on a Megasquirt. I have setup two of them now and they are getting pretty easy. Since I am adapting the Toyota throttle bodies with there manifold to the SVO block all the injectors and fuel system comes with it. Just have to hook up a couple of lines.

I will post up a couple of pics of the solid model this evening.

Here are pics of the solidmodel with pics of the throttle body system that will be getting bolted on.

Tuning that would be a bitch! You would need to have a good grasp on throttle postition tuning.;

Its actually really easy. They have a factory Toyota TPS right on the end. They are all tied together with one uniform linkage pull right in the center.

Just a heads up on this as the manifold should have been cut already. The computer the model is on suffered a severe failure when an electrician I had working on the house accidently disconnected power to it......while I was working on it. Now I have to wait for it to be repaired and hope the model is still there.

Alright everything is sorted and I was able to do a little more measuring. The adapter got thinner now. I just need to clean a couple of things up and I will start making chips. I do have a question and Joe should be able to answer this. The water jacket on the intake side between the two middle intake ports. Can this be blocked off or do I need to run water through there?

I have seen some aftermarket intakes that look like they block it off.
