Just wondering whether this is a good thing,

I'm doing a turbo G13B and i'm going to have to modify the inlet manifold anyway so i thought i might go the bike carb route. I've been told its a good performance upgrade. Does anyone have any pics or info on the manifold needed and the total setup. Do you have to make up a seperated manifold going into the carbs?

If you doing a G13B its fuel injected already, why go back to the carb method. And surely you can use the carbs though with a turbo setup but they might need some modifications to suit it...

Minboy,

Are you talking about using the efi quad throttle bodies from a bike?

Check out Borgy's mini (tiger strip) he has done this and the setup looks great.

Yeah i saw borgy's tiger in Miniworld and it said that it was turbo and used the R1 throttle bodies (sorry about the confusion), i was hoping that someone might have some pics of what he has done or what the setup roughly looks like.

Is it basically going to be a log coming from the turbo into 4 throttle bodies and then each one going into the inlet port.

Will this increase performance at all? - i suppose it will as you are getting more air in as long as your inlet pipe from turbo is big???

Will i need to run an aftermarket computer? How do you go about tuning?

Can Bike throttle bodies be used and engineered/registered?

I think i have some but might take a day or two to dig out.

Correct.

Yes it should, the nissan SR20 quad throttle body motors have more power.


Will i need to run an aftermarket computer? How do you go about tuning?

Yes, You will have to have it tuned on a dyno.

Can Bike throttle bodies be used and engineered/registered?


Good question, not sure? would like to know.

www.redlinegti.com.au has all the answers you need.

I would be looking towards an existing turbo charged quad throttle body set that is factory fitted to a front wheel drive car. Granted your options are limited when narrowed down that far but as soon as you find a GTI-R throttle body and plenum you won't need to look any further...... DAMN site cheaper than the R1 set up you are looking into aswell.
