bolt that shit on and try it LOL would hate to look back and wonder hmm would that have worked .she may require some tuningif it doesnt work N/A aim a turbo into each one LOL
I tune the oldschool way fear on the passengers face and knuckle colour cant go wrong
tabbacco is still my favorite vegetable

Mate that looks funky as,, a lil bit different to mine least you wont have bonnet issues tho by the looks,, i didn notice much down low, but once it got to about 3000rpm it started to rev a lil quicker an get up some speed. other then the cool factor oh having dual throttle bodies i think you need some support mods to really get some gains. for example im getting yella terra rockers, high flow cat, just anything that will help it breath heaps better,,
All good having loads of air going in but if it cant get out any quicker then there is no real point. That's a nice find tho, as i said a lil different to others iv seen, how much was it if you done mine me asking?

Im a p plater meaning no forced induction
I have extractors, high flow cat, and i bought a dyno tuned memcal and chip from RUF 231... Just waiting for all of this to arrive. Should get the chip and memcal next week and the throttle body on friday... (these arent my pics)
Can anyone guess how much i paid for this?

$150.
I don't think it'll make any difference TBH.
Engine will still only use as much air as it needs and the manifold will still restrict it.
Maybe with a bigger cam and a decent exhaust system might you see some good gains.
Nawww...Well ill get back to you guys when i actually hook it up
More than that though.

$300?
Why not just tell us how much?
Yea 300... I jsut wanted to see how much ppl thought it was worth to see if i got ripped or not haha

Haha, mmm. $300 is expensive due to the fact it probably wont do a great deal. Looks good though and people pay more for sillier things.
It could be usefull later depending on what you do.
I've got a set of VN heads floating around here. I could give them a small port job and generally tidy them up if you're interested in them.
Yea price is just a factor at the moment for me... I bought a $1000 sub from joe aswell as an $850 amp... $300 for this and $150 for a radiator and heater tap... Let me save again and ill get back to you haha, oh i forgot i bought those rims too

Meh, it wont be expensive. $100 maybe depending on what postage costs.
is it a bitch to put them in? What advantages would it give me?

Eh, it don't think its too hard. But i've done it a few times before. You'll need new gaskets and the like.
The air will flow better through them, making them work more efficiently. Basically anyway.

try adrenalin performance or hdt for a tune but be warned you'll look be looking at around $800
whats the difference between my missus and my blower??
well they both whine but the blower actually puts out

800 is a lil much but once i have a lil more work done il look at it, but at the moment was just after something cheaper

Hmm, that a bit sad.
I could only suggest you keep trying. I seen him advertising a couple of days ago, so perhaps he personal issues at the time?
The effort to get through to him would surely be better then spending the $800 else where?
You payed $300 for that? Seems a little steep for some ally tube and flanges that are cut off $10 wrecker parts. But im only saying that because I could build it myself. If you cant then you have to pay for the time and materials etc.
Its a bloody good idea though. You have the throttle bodies way back off the manifold now so maybe open it up and build a bigger plenum for it. Just a suggestion.
I built a twin TB manifold for my VT and the induction noise is fairly noticeable and your exhaust note should go a little chunkier too.

It wouldn't be real hard to modify that intake manifold to make it work better. The heads will be the limiting factor.
you'd cut it down to a point where you still keep the integrity of the manifold. Probably just inline with the top of the fuel rails. Have it come out at an angle and then up into a larger box so you can still fit the injectors in place. Seen it done a few times.
