Cheap 4 barrel throttlebody?
« on: May 17, 2013, 08:41:50 AM »
I keep kicking around the idea of putting a small turbo on my truck since I can't afford the 6bt for a while. Anyone know of any cheap 4 barrel TB's out there? I guess I could use an elbow and one big TB. Trying to keep this simple and cheap. Truck is currently carb'd with an edelbrock 600cfm.

If it matters
90 silverado
270hp/350tq 4 bolt main crate motor
Figuring on megasquirt just cause I have always wanted to use one.
Probably some HiProfile injectors.

That's not a bad price on that bbk. Hmmm


I considered using a carb, I have 2 holly 750's. I just didn't want to cobble up a tps setup

So 5 dollars for a TPS and 30 mins of your time or 250 dollars for a complete setup.

Just seems like it would look like complete ass. Plus plugging all the fuel holes and everything? Meh. I like the idea of bolting on

I like the idea of just a single TB on a custom hat thing. stick 4 hi profile injectors in it. and one of those big ass ford style TB's. make it an easy aim at the intercooler and away from turbo.

Yea, half way through typing I started thinking about making an elbow, put a 90mm mustang tb on it and mount the 4 injectors in the elbow. We will see. I have 2 things in the works to have money in my pocket again. As soon as that happens ill start collecting parts.

i use the truck for towing, so i wont be pushing a ton of boost. just want a little extra oomph without ruining the torque. i have a feeling anything else i could do to make power from here on, would just push the torque higher in the rpm range.

I'm sure fuel injection would up my mpg a decent amount
