Forward facing throttle body setup WTB!!! Help!

[[V6] Vr CoMmY]

Hey guys,

I'm looking to buy a twin or single throttle plenium/intake manifold for my vy storm stroker but I'm having trouble finding any at all :/ I'm after one that looks like the edelbrock ls1 manifold... Can anyone shed some light on my search...

Cheers

PS no HATERS!

Unless its custom your not going to get a forward facing manifold

MRC Performance online store - Ecotec V6 Twin Throttle Body Manifold

theres a twin throttlebody one for you though

look at the l36 manifold from the camaros in the states, theyre forward facing. you might need additional brackets for repositioned alternator and such though.

From what I hear those manifolds aren't the best(short runners). A fair few US guys have imported the Aussie ecotec manifolds as they seem to perform better then theirs.

Would be good though if someone got one over so we could get a good comparison done here.

You just put an idea in my head immortality... will have to wait till i get a tig welder first

browns_plains_wreckers....I have a twin throttle body setup.

As new, $1,200.
thats what he has and price , give him a yell

That's the cleanest F-body L36 I've ever seen. Gotta love press release engines.

I really like the coil relocation idea. However i had the idea of the of the servo operated throttle body. Id much prefer mine to be cable operated.

The idea of taking our plenum and welding a TB to the front of it could be good and bad. The stock set up leans out runners 3 and 4. So going off that theory wouldnt welding a TB to the front lean out runner 1?

But if it was to work more, a LS1 OTR could look the shit in there but would require a mafless tune as i think it would be a very tight squeeze to fit a AFM.

Correct me if im wrong, but thats how im thinking about the situation.

The image was just a reference, would be something to modify. The fwd l36s in the states also got a banana style manifold that can be flipped 180deg to face forwards, tho the composite ones had leak troubles. If you're lucky, you can get one with an alloy upper aswell.

This is my old twin tb manifold.. It's an in house MRC PERFORMANCE item.. Friggin brilliant

If your ESP wanting a forward facing tb I would bother with the yank junk. As said for the work they aren't worth it.
If ya want it bad hit up pro flow.



Not really a na item more boost orientated as far as I know.

ajvx01, where did you have the custom engine bay cover made up? and do they make them for a vr?

[Dr HaxZaw]

haha if you do you may be waiting a very long time

hopefully uni fee's dont kill me so i can get this welder and start on a few little projects... wanted to try and see if i couldnt modify the manifold but still be able to run it with a maf and so forth as it would be easier to sell

Big problem though is the EGR cause i dunno if you can delete it without screwing up the computer

Which cover? Every part under there is either Mrc performance or me..

Very easy to tune out the egr. I did on my vx with the twin tbs..

Out of curiosity, why would it screw around with the computer.

My EGR valve seems to have developed a .....um......substantial blockage, and it seems to operate fine.

Exhaust gas recirculation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

When i read this it said modern engines may throw fault codes when its disabled so i figured that is possibly what would happen if done to the ecotec

I was thinking of blocking it and seeing what happened but as its the daily didnt want anything going wrong

Need to know if u deleted the ac compressor and put ur alt down there? If u still have ac, where did u put the alt!

[ajvx01]

Second pic isn't my car man, was a highly modified turbo ecotec... Not really a bolt on manifold from my understanding.


Also as far as just blocking an egr without a tune goes u risk sucking fuel heaps by running rich and also lose power.

Which is a copy of the original MACE twin TB

They are a good looking unit though

^^^credit where true and your correct. Steve is a top bloke b4 I came across the Mrc item I spoke to Steve about him making me one but it was a no go sadly..
Still my end result was fantastic.

Thats what i thought... when i get around to it i might have a chat with steve from mace and see if i can get one of those vy tunes with the egr tuned out of it
