Re: t.p.i -t.b adapter?

Try here.

I'm not sure what's so "amazing" about it? It's a pretty common thing. Although, people more often use a monoblade TB such as the LS1 setup, it seems; but there's no reason a 2-barrel TB couldn't be used as well.

The most "amazing" thing about it is how he's talking about "budget" this that and the other, and then paying somebdy $400 to modify an Edelbrock Performer intake for injector bungs and fuel rails. Plus of course, then buying the elbow, fuel rails, all those pumps, tanks, plumbing, and so on; which he'll have $1200 in all that, EASY. He also talks about his "free" manifold, which if he's paying $400 to modify it, the cost of A WHOLE NEW MANIFOLD is way down in the noise, anyway. Typical design mistake, that; might as well move a hundred dollar bill on the sidewalk out of the way to pick up the "free" dime that's hiding under it. Kind of like the people that want to spend $2500 turning their 305 into a 334 because the block is "free", instead of buying a $100 roller 350 core. And his talk about about "TPI", which involves TUNED runners, which his concept is NOT THE LEAST BIT similar to. Port injection, yes; "Tuned Port Injection®", no.

But yeah, I DEFINITELY give the guy kudos for his understanding of the electronics (the only part he seems to have a command of the details, actually). Not too common in the hot-rodding world. Seems like most people doing a conversion like that are either the hack-and-slash type, or want to just buy something pre-built, and then get their panties all into a wad over why "nobody makes a 'kit' to put FI into their 1939 Hupmobile".

THe picture on top is of an Intake elbow that Lingenfelter made for a short period of time and is no longer in production... I have been looking for one floating around for quite some time...
