Bryan;

I use a 3-barrel TWM TB on my 20B with 44mm barrels.  One barrel (which divides into the 2 runners) for each rotor. It seem to work quite well.  As Ed mentioned, and supported by Paul Yaw’s work, high velocity in the barrel is a good thing. Maybe you could cut the thing in half and use 2 barrels? I use the injector port in the TB for MSD (Rochester) injectors, and use the stock primary in the housings.

Hello all,

I have a chance to purchase a TWM throttle body(see attch pic) at a very low price.  I have a couple questions for the group.

 

The inlets are 42mm (appx 1.65 in.).  Is this too big to the point that they would be incompatible with the injectors?  I plan on using 1-1/8 and1-1/4 in runners.

 

Also, the bosses are sized for Bosch, Rochestor, or Lucas injectors.  Does this necessarily eliminate my using the stock Renesis injectors?

 

This setup also would allow the use of a lightweight airbox  thus simplifying the intake system from a manufacturing standpoint.

 

Thanks in advance,

Bryan
