cold air to throttle bodies

[adamhighfield]

any ideas how i can get cold air 2 my throttle bodies on a vts???

dont want a bonnet vent or anything like that, but need some ideas.

[Strikevts]

Flex pipe or buy an enclosed induction kit! that way cold air will be the only thing going in ur thottle body!

[hesslevtr]

im sure gmc do something for them

[S34MER]

you mean the standard t/b i take it!?

[jpsaxo]

DIY jobbie im affraid if its to your TB's, get in contact with GMC & QEP and see if they can sort you something or point you in the right direction.

[adamhighfield]

ok i will see what i can make at work, bound to be able 2 make some kind of heat shield with cold air feed 2 it or custom plenum chamber.

Throttle bodies i meant not standard 1!!

[Strikevts]

Ahhh well then i would try and make a heat shield but at the same time try and make some sorta piping to the trottle bodys so that cold air is there all the time.

[adamhighfield]

where shall i take the piping to though at the front of the car??

[Strikevts]

can do but becarefull as if u where to put the piping low u could ( in the winter ) suck water or snow up and fuk ya car up! best bet is to pipe to the grill or take a fog light out and pipe into there!

[adamhighfield]

i think i will see if i can get it 2 the grille somehow, maybe cut the panel behind?? Or is that unsafe to do?

This is the only problems with trottle bodys! look where there located! so much heat eck!

Bonnet vent would be the obvious and most effective answer. They're only tacky when they are badly done and serve no purpose.

set up no longer made by gmc...

you need an airbox mate, even bic is running an adapted 206 airbox on his tb set up. its the best way for filtration imo!

WOW

Impressive stuff that!!!

Now thats what I call a 'Engine Mod' will someone buy me one for Christmas? I'll be you special friend :oops:

the curved trumpets were found to be not ideal for performance over cutting the bodywork a little to use longer straight trumpets

[VTS_16v_Boy]

With mini's on webbers as opposed to SU twin or single they had to cut sections out of the firewall, is that an option here to allow room for straight trumpets?

[Foggy]

We were not allowed too, as it is a firewall, but in the process of developing an air box to fit the jenvey setup that allows a flat panel filter to be put on the top, under the bonnet vent.

most results show the cureved trumpets gave good midrange compaired to most as well as keeping the engine filtered well.
