    Default VY twin throttlebody

    Okay everyone, this is going to sound ridiculous but it came to me in a dream.

    I dont even think its possible. But still, okay ill explain..

    so i dreamt that i put a twin throttle body on my vy right, i had the first one connected to the original airbox and then( this is the crazy part) i had the second one running pvc piping all the way down to where the foglights are. like some sort of crazy cold air intake. I started to think this might be possible. Of course with the addition of the maf sensor and a pod filter somewhere to filter that second hole.

    But is this possible? Is it a good idea?
    Let me know.
    sorry officer..thought you wanted to race.

    But you could just glue two v8's together and have 16 cylinders!

    You'd need a pretty warm ecotec before needing to look at tin TB's.

    Twin TB's have been done on ecotec's on this forum a few times, they seem to improve throttle response nicely, but from what I've read are a pain to get tuned properly, etc.

    Why would you run them to two different spots?
    It would acheive nothing. You're better of doing it the same way everyone else does it.

    I'd be sorting out your exhaust, cam and tune first.

    No, I still have no idea to what it has to do with a basically stocko V6 with twin throts...

    You post a pic of a V8 with like 4 turbo's, and we're supposed to 'understand' something? :/

    Do you 'understand' there is difference between a turbo and a throttle body?

    OP is talking about TWO THROTTLE BODIES on a V6 COMMODORE.

    which is totally different to EIGHT TURBO's on a 350CHEV.

    What are trying to prove because you're point is very obscure.

    He is trying to prove that you can infact fit a turbo to each cylinder of a engine!

    the picture has 8 turbos (look closer)

    now i was pulling the piss outa the OP mainly cos i was bored and im 19 so he was sticking up for the OP by posting a pic of a car with 1 turbo per cylinder!

    Get it now???

    First off all, by reading those posts together this thread will make sense. M01ST, the first part made sense the 2nd part was just dribble.

    SkidMarks the pressures would be different entering the plenum. would make it run worse than better. Just run them to the same place, either both to a fog light lik M01ST said or both to an airbox. running them both to the foglight is fine at track strip as most cars don't run filters there either.

    The problem would be the bends in the pipes to get to the fog lights would hinder throttle response. A straighter shorter pipe is better (hence OTR intakes), also if you run them to the foglights and even with filters fitted shall you ever find yourself in water you going to fill your motor with water as the intake is too low.

    I like your thinking but, thoughts like these is how the industry grows. hopefully next time people can give you better feedback then write stupid comments

    LOL,

    "thoughts like these is how the industry grows"
    What industry are you talking about? The automotive industry?

    As its already been mentioned in post #4 twin throtts on any V6 (with out major mods) is inefficient/a waste of time.

    Just because someone has a dream about doing something, doesn't mean many others haven't already tried it. If the industry was going to "grow from it" it would've happened along time ago.

    I can see what STEEV888 was saying to M01ST, just can't see the reason for it to be in this thread. O/P asked about twin throtts.
    Would've been better for him to post some twin throttle body set-ups for the O/P instead of encouraging off topic banter. The thread WAS almost still on topic with some informative posts.
