Guest De Schmaydee Posted February 2, 2003 Share Posted February 2, 2003 ....just curious what effect it would have.... ...i have a huge mercedes throttle body i'm gonna put on the intake of my 82zxt...why not weld a 1/2"flange/plate on the side of the (the tb would flow straight into the cylinders.....kinda) manifold...right in the middle of it....opposite and between the 3rd and 4th intake runners....and just seal off the old opening where the tb was..? ...hope i discribed this right.....s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest loveonthebeach Posted February 4, 2003 Share Posted February 4, 2003 Is it the 65 mm throttle body? I'll be interested to know this too, i might do the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest loveonthebeach Posted February 4, 2003 Share Posted February 4, 2003 You want it to look someting like http://www.arizonazcar.com/manifold.html ? From Arizona Z car, i talked to the guy and he said he'll be making more in a few months for $1000 each. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest De Schmaydee Posted February 4, 2003 Share Posted February 4, 2003 ...its the mercedes 70mm tb...it doesnt look anything like the manifold in the pict...i think thats for a "carbed" non-turbocharged car.....w/no emissions.. ....i was just thinking about the stock intake of an 82-3turbocar w/a 3.5"x3.5"x.5" square plate on the side of it w/a 70mm hole in it (the original tb opening doesnt look like it can be made to be 70mm)......s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fl327 Posted February 4, 2003 Share Posted February 4, 2003 i dont like how the tb is up and down like that, looks like it would make ic plumbing more of a nightmare than it already is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest De Schmaydee Posted February 4, 2003 Share Posted February 4, 2003 ...yeah i think that manifold is for a carburetor and set like that because of the floats and stuff...its not like the the zxt manifold @ all....what i was talking about would have the opening of the tb pointing out to the side not pointing up......it would kind look like j soileau's manifold (well not really) but have the throttle body where j has the blowoff valve positioned ........s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
