Using a custom dual bank variant of the set-up in pic I can certainly accomplish the individual throttle bodies on my new engine but I'm left with the biggest stumbling block in doing something like this, ie; designing a lightweight, hi-flow, forced-air "filtered" induction system to sit atop this design once mounted on the engine.
Still very early in the design stage and never likely to find its way on anyone elses car due to "one-off" costs. However what I find may facilitate ways/means for others to buy used ITB set-ups that will work with CNC'd equal-length runners similar to the ones I make for this. I personally have NO plans of offering this to the public as it with all new parts and custom, CNC'd one-off equal-length runners & mounting flanges could easily exceed the replacement value of most cars at this forum when complete.
But it IS food for thought if INCREDIBLE increases in low, mid and high-end response/power appeals to you and "if" money is no object.

They were first on my list and 15 years ago one of the only. However today there's a gazillion...
places and many with better looking/cheaper set-ups. Not to mention a LOT more desireable currency exchange rate. Now if I owned and was looking for a "plug-n-play" kit for a specific model car Jenvey has the best selection. However since they cant do anything for me beyond a TB/VS I like the quality of some other places way way better especially in adjustable linkage systems and precision hardware. The Aussies have REALLY jumped on this in a MAJOR way!!
