As I mentioned, my MAP reading is
only 27 on the ground, at full throttle. I thought I had this isolated to
the intake being too restrictive, but Tracy suspects it's more a matter of the way the ports are
positioned on the TWM throttle body. He also mentioned that someone
else (Al, maybe) had the same issue, with lower than expected MAP readings when
using the ports on their TWM. Is anyone using the TWM TB ports,
and seeing near 30 MAP? I sure wish I had documented this little
tidbit of info from the previous version.
Rusty;
Just back from vacation. I saw the same
results with my TWM TB. I have a bit of restriction up stream from the TB, but
couldn’t believe it could be that much. I had concluded (probably with
some discussion with Tracy) that it was likely at least partially due to the
post location. Your data seems to confirm that.
There is likely some loss in the long TB
barrel- I think it is about 4 ½” long. My barrels are 44 mm dia. What
are yours? You can see my plot of MAP vs RPM at http://members.cox.net/alg3/Dynamometer%20test%20report.htm
and scroll to near the bottom. It went
all the way down to 25” at 7000 rpm. I’d be interested in what TWM
has to say.
