You can get reverse ones for Mini conversions, not sure if they're a different/better/worse design though

There isnt one, I guess the std one is good enough, it flows 150bhp for grp-A use & is has a visibly bigger chamber than the 2.0SEH/NE ones anyway.

That could prob make life easier for a turbo conversion on a Nova.

they have simply chopped the plenum off & turned it round, then rewelded, so apart from packaging, there is no real change,

the double ar$e one included a cam & claimed about 25hp.............

Okay guys from the information in this thread .We have decided to design (and if time allows) produce a aftermarket throttle body system including a matching exhaust manifold to suit for the c16se engine.
And it will involve (not calculated yet so not 100%) gsxr 750 throttle bodies and aftermarket management(megasquirt).
Should be fun :thumb:

No wonder you want to fit one to your Nova. Be a shame not to use it after making it huh lol

interested in headwork, cam etc on this project... what will you be doing with inlet lengths??

Not sure Mowgli yet, we have to get it approved first and worry about it afterwards, will keep you posted though

Where the Dilberts TB/inlet failed was that it still used the std management & AFM. The cost was extortionate too.

Well drapers got one he thinks in his garden that i can take measurements of a then get a 3d model of it drawn up on cad, then i can get some flow measurements then

Yea were trying to make it as we are making it as a kit that you could potentially sell on as a company would of, so you would have megasquirt with a base map and if you wanted to do headwork or fit a lairy cam or whatever then will need remapping etc. And also trying to keep the costs down so it would be like a good modification for the money if you know what i mean.
If we ever get on to making this, i get to keep it to fit to mine when i get round to fitting the c16se to mine
