Meanwhile, back at the Bar D (for Duratec) Ranch...
Though the thread title says "quad throttle body" I don't see how an air metering device developed for a 750 cc displacement would benefit a 2261cc displacement especially when final power figures are taken into consideration...
Now, I haven't checked Mr. Stranahan's link, but let's say we're shooting for an even 200 at the Duratec's fly... Do Suzuki GSXR 750s make 200 HP? I honestly don't really know. I know that Hyabusas do, but they're almost twice the size as teh gixer. |
An air INDUCTION device developed for a performance .75L engine will benefit a 2300CC engine based on the fact that it benefits the 750CC so much due to the mass amounts of air it takes in. The overall air intake diameter will be bigger than any single TB made for that car.
Try plugging one nostril on your nose and breathing in a full breath...... now unplug that nostril and breath in your full breath. See how much less time it took? Your engine does the same thing. Giving it "four nostrils" (hypothetically speaking) will allow it to get its fix ALOT faster. Maybe its time to ITB the SVT! LOL
Also, the busa is 165hp, not 200..... Thats as much as an SVT Focus (5hp less) with a 2.0L 10.2:1 Compresion engine...... in a 1.3L 11:1 compression engine with ITBs! Gixer 750s don't make near 200hp, but the fact that they weigh less than 500lbs , have higher compression, ITBs and an aggressive tune make them powerful bikes. My brother has the Gixer 1000 and THATS an impressive bike.... WOW.
Point is... a Gixxer 1000 or Busa will kick the **** out of pretty much any car you throw at it. within reason (none of this 1000HP twin turbo supra stuff lol)
I just wanted to say that I really love the fact that you're doing something that no one (that I know of) has done to their Performance Econobox Focus..... You've broken the bubble of 'normal modding' which is great imo. I honestly think that ITB setup is much more impressive and prestigious than a Turbo'd setup. Good on ya and best of luck with your project!!
ps. if you don't mind me asking, howmuch were all the parts so far. What is the total cost you've incurred on this project os far???
