not sure drew

i think there are two options on the neck ???

ahh nice, hadnt seen the extendy piece before. you thought about doing a 90dgr to replace that, might make fitting the TB easier?

we have tryed a zr and a zs TB and we have been told theres no or little difference between the two

i just measured my zs TB at 55mm but its fookin long. if you cant fit that in id look at a T series TB @56mm.

toca tb sounds good but tbh its more money for little gain imo.

yeah looks good are you looking to pipe a cone down into the inner wing?

Drew · 10-03-12, 08:25 PM

it looks like the strut tower gets in the way, as well as the dta.

Drew

will let G play with it and see what would be best for it anyway
the TOCA tb was not that much good price i thought thats if we get it but thats anther option if others dont work out as well

p.s i dont think the DTA will get in the way just a rough fitting

i know what G was going for but is a bit pricey

you cant leave the filter in the engine bay, piping it to the inner wing is £50 at the most.

The shortest route to the inner wing would be to the gap between the chassis rail and the inner wing under where the battery normally lives. You'd struggle to get an enclosed filter in there in a direct run but you could fit an open cone just the otherside of the hole, just watch out for deep puddles.

no not in the engine bay that would be silly

Maybe look at something like the ZT V8 70mm TB, have a simple adaptor plate made up.
If it's running DTA I've seen a KV6 with the VIS system de-activated and the flaps locked open, in fact I think Drew has the car now. It made very good low end torque even with all the stock inlet and it's flaps still in place, so with DTA you can map the torque curve.
I think with the increased flow from the inlet the the stock cams and valve train will be the limiting factor, to make the most of the new arrangement it would benefit from a compression hike and some nice cams.

What size exhaust manifold and secondaries are you going to run?
