I'm doing a 16V throttle body setup.
I'm stuck on which option is best for better air flow being that the intake is at the back.
Option 1: scuttle tray modification
Option 2: plenum with ram air setup
Option 3: open with filter
Option 1 it's all about engine movement, and wiper motor, so I've been thinking of making an air box and using a rubber gasket so it will respond to movement and using a panel filter with some form of air scoop, and looking at moving the wiper motor and working that out
Option 2 there's lots of plenums out there but my god are they daylight robbery
So I was planning on bying some carbon sheet and cutting and glueing together to make the air box and with a ram air induction, issue here is space and size and air boxes tend to feed different air flows over trumpets
Option 3 same old same old I just think there is too much heat an lack of air space, so again modify scuttle tray to allow cooler more responsive air flow
Not had much experience with throttle body setups unless I've turbo charged them where I'm more confident on making a plenum for them instead, but N/A airflow and dynamics is totally different to Forced Induction
Chip in guys :)
