    Default Twin Throttle body advice

    Just wondering if someone could enlighten me on how the IAC Vavle works on twin throttle bodies... ! Is it even an issue?!!! I mean does it need to be rewired and then you have 2 valves - 1 in each T/B, or is one still sufficient?

    I would have thought you could only have one as they would conflict with each other... Is my thinking correct?

    hmm, ok just got my question answered, One of the valves is usually a dummy and is just plumbed up, so you just run one valve :-)

    Correct, there is the primary throttle body that runs everything IAC, throttle cable, etc.

    Cheers Airstrike.

    Just found out that they are illegal though which really puts a shit on things.

    Vehicles manufactured on or after the 1 January 1986 (ADR 37).

    "...No alterations to the engine’s camshaft, inlet manifold, carburettor/fuel injectors, air cleaner or catalytic
    converter are permitted."

    That sucks.

    Sucks to be in SA by the looks of things. I don't see why you can't make those mods, provided they have been done properly and not just with duct-tape and coat hangers.

    SA... simple answer, move to Vic.

    SA sounds like it's super hassle for RWC.
