Aaron Posted December 25, 2004 Report Share Posted December 25, 2004 I was bored and messing around with my ITB setup, and decided to mock it up on my bad motor, since that is what it will be going on eventually. I didn't yet have my mandrel bends, so I had to use wooden blocks instead. lol, I think it looks really sweet though, can't wait. The throttle lonkage will be a bitch for sure. They are a little too close together, but it can be fixed rather easily by just bending the mandrel bends a bit. The only other issue is that a vacuum line coming off one of the sets runs right into the other throttle body. But it is just a barbed fitting and can be fixed with not too much trouble. Here are a few pics...Tell me what you think... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

90TGP Posted December 25, 2004 Report Share Posted December 25, 2004 Are you going to make a log-style intake to go on top of the velocity stacks or going to leave them like they are and just put a filter on top? Cool either way 8) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron Posted December 25, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 25, 2004 Well when the time comes, here is what I'm having done. It will be set up like that of a SBC, the filter sitting on top. The bottom plate will act as a flange, and it will sit between the air horns and the throttle bores. I'll lengthen the studs so the horns bolt down. Then I'm going to put the 1/8"(or 1/16") piece of steel, chromed, with the 6 48mm holes drilled, and the 12 bolt holes drilled on. After this I'm going to custom order a K&N filter, and specify the length I'll need. Then just wrap it around the steel piece's shape. The ends of the steel piece will be curved up so it won't slide out. For the top, I'll be using a 1/4"(or 1/2") thick piece of plexiglass. I'm having a guy from the Fiero boards CNC machine it, it will have drilled into it the following. Then I will have 4 studs, 2 from each set of throttle bodies from between the air horns, stick up and have chromed nust on top. It will look awesome, you will see the writing in the plexiglass, but still be able to see through it, staring at the throttle plates and such. I will not be able to incorporate the black plastic piece that says 3.4L TDC from ym Z34, so I figured I'd do this instead. Pretty complex for an air filter, but I want this job to look very professional. And then I'll be using ome sort of scoop or cowl on the Fiero decklid, since this won't clear. So it might even still be cold air  3.4L Twin Dual Cam _____Fiero GT_____ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
93CutlassSupreme Posted December 25, 2004 Report Share Posted December 25, 2004 The throttle lonkage will be a bitch for sure. Â Â good luck with that. i'm curious to see how you do that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timg Posted December 25, 2004 Report Share Posted December 25, 2004 TWM! Â I believe they have some prefab throttle cables and/or throttle cable assemblies. I did something quite similar with a smowmobile. Â Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron Posted December 25, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 25, 2004 They do, but it is overpriced(as is everything else). I think, since both units just pull down to operate, that I am going to fab up an aluminum bar thingy, that reaches to both, and have to pull down with the single cable. Then just hook up a spring from up top. No cruise control, becu it takes up space, adds vacuum lines, and I don't want to fuck with it.

slick Posted December 26, 2004 Report Share Posted December 26, 2004 Looking pretty good Aaron. I remember the drawings you did that you sent to me in a PM. They look pretty damn close to that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canada Posted December 26, 2004 Report Share Posted December 26, 2004 Looks cool................ Â Â Â Â What sort of gain are you looking at from doing something like this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron Posted December 26, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 26, 2004 Well it won't be just this. They will be going on a built 3.4L. Overall, I'm hoping for about 430hp at 7500-8000rpm naturally aspirated and before I hit the 100 shot of N2O. It is very plausible considering everything that will be done to it.

patgizz Posted December 27, 2004 Report Share Posted December 27, 2004 looks cool, but even the dumbest(and there are a whole bunch of them) of the w-body members could buy the setup(however it seems 99% of them have no money hence why they have w-bodies) and sit it on a block of wood and take some pictures. Â i'll wait to see a finished intake that bolts on without leaking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron Posted December 27, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2004 I have done a bit more than that, but ok. Yall said you wanted pics, so there you go. Â Just keep doubting me, it makes me go harder and faster. 8) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian P Posted December 27, 2004 Report Share Posted December 27, 2004 So is the wood gonna be the air filter? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron Posted December 27, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2004 No stupid. The wood goes in between the throttle boides and the intake. Ans the air and fule passes through the small pores, it gets mixed optimully, and builds pressure. So by adding the wood pieces, two of them, I get boost and perfect fuel atomization. duh.

Canada Posted December 27, 2004 Report Share Posted December 27, 2004 How in the HELL are you going to get 430 hp from a 3.4L motor? Even WITH its DOHCs.....
