Hi all,
I have decided to move my throttle body to a more suitable position on my project.
The primary motivation for this, is to reduce the piping length from the intercooler to the throttle body and keep the piping away from the right hand turbo exhaust outlet.
By moving to the position shown in the pics below it will reduce the piping length by 600mm, or 2ft for the yanks and remove a 90deg bend, replacing it with a 135deg one. Nothing to be sneezed at.
The other benefit as I mentioned above, is not having to pass over and very closely to the RH turbo exhaust outlet.
I am going to use a section of 3inch mandrel bent aluminium pipe with a flange welded to either end to mate it all back up.
My only real concern in having a bend in this position, is that it will create turbulence at the plenum inlet.
What do you guys reckon?
