ns1 Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 Every thing was progressing: Intercooler fiited Drysump tank fitted and plumbed Oil to water cooler fitted Electric water pump fitted Supercharger oil cooler and plumbed and fitted Injection fuel tank fittedThen the problems: Fuel rail on the 30mm Jenvey throttle bodies is to high even with short injectors New plenum fouls the engine bay crossmember Now reverted back to 114mm throttle bodies and custom prepreg carbon inlet. Will be glad when this one is done! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elie boone Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 What about the Weber look alike throttle body's, they have the injectors underneath if those would clear the diagonal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7 wonders of the world Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 This might help as it does away with the crank of the DOCE style manifold and give a better angle of entry. he might be able to do a version to suit the short 30mm TSP's too which will free up valuable plenum room too.https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/332038916878?var=0Nice project your on with I looked at the same prior to doing my current car, I assume your having a custom cam ground too..?

ns1 Posted April 17, 2020 Author Share Posted April 17, 2020 Tried the 30mm Jenverys The injector is at a steeper angle making the fuel rail 20mm higher. Its above the bonnet line.Working on a preperg carbon plenum it should solve the problem - oh for a 3D printer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7 wonders of the world Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 The manifold will help as you can loose the nasty swan neck as the one you currently have was designed for carbs and the TB's aren't affected by mounting inclination, you could also use the jenvey SF and have the injectors underneath Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elie boone Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 Dunno why you want to hang on to individual throttle body's as it's forced induction, this is a nice induction installation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ns1 Posted April 22, 2020 Author Share Posted April 22, 2020 Nice job. Any idea on the numbers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7 wonders of the world Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 Individual TB's will give a better throttle response, and unless a single TB plenum is correctly designed you can get very uneven distribution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
