Hi Jim in the PL dyno example that I was referring to, the injectors are just downstream of the bell mouths, and the TB is placed near the port. BR, Dave McC

I think you skimmed over an important qualification of Dave's comment:

which exactly fills this part of your analysis: Really? Are his injectors UPstream from the throttle body? That's what I said caused carb ice. I understood him to say that his injectors were near (but DOWNstream from) his throttle body.
.. I think carb ice is pretty much always associated with fuel sprayed into a venturi, and the injectors in our application are always downstream of the "venturi" formed by the partially open throttle.

But wouldn't that be true of ANY injectors placed a significant distance from the block? I think carb ice is pretty much always associated with fuel sprayed into a venturi, and the injectors in our application are always downstream of the "venturi" formed by the partially open throttle. I wouldn't worry ... Jim S.

On PL's recent PP dyno run, he stated that with the injectors placed near the entry of the runners, there was considerable evaporative cooling taking place and as the tubes were running very cold VE should be good. The worry to me here is that with the TB at the other end of the runner,ie close to the port, there is a real risk of ice build up on the throttle body butterfly. The old bugbear of carb ice is back. FWIW, Dave McC

----- Original Message ----- *From:* Jerry Hey based on Paul Lamar's current p port testing there is no problem with placing the injectors at the far end of the runners. This is also backed up by an article on the internet (How to Fabricate an Intake Manifold) The idle issue is not with injector location but rather with butterfly location.
