ive ran a few searches and i havent had any hits on what i was thinking...


Alot of people want to buy that throttle body for the LT1 simply because it has Nos Passageways....


would it be possible to drill passageways in the current TPI throttle body to allow for nitrous?


humor me here and lets assume we are talking on a 'non' Maf TPI

 

considering the holes would be in the TB its not really important whether its MAF or not

 

I just got a tb from a friend that I'm going to try this on.

http://www.dynopower.freeserve.co.uk/nitrous_oxide/ has most of the basic DIY ideas that I'm using. I'll be using some 1/8" tubing, a crimp fitting to -AN adapter (to hold the jets needed), then lines to the solenoids. All will be hidden and plumbed from the underside if I can help it.

 

cool!

but that doesnt tell me if i can drill holes through my throttle body...


it would matter if its a maf or sd cause then the computer wouldnt be able to change the timing or make up for the gas to be changed...

 

the computer doesn't do anythin in terms of nitrous except maybe change the timing but that has nothing to do with metering air.

The computer doesn't need to know you're injecting nitrous in order to add more fuel because you add fuel with the nitrous kit at the same place as where you add the nitrous.

 

ok thanks i guess... now do you have anything prudent to say reguarding my question??? ok...

 

you were arguing about something i knew the answer to, so i enlightened you.

I can't see why you couldn't drill your holes in the throttle body... buy why do you want to? for stealth? The sort of system that doesn't use a plate and isn't a direct injection into the manifold at each valve isn't exactly the most efficient nor the safest. If you want stealth, go with direct port installed under the intake manifold. No one would see anything at all except for two little lines coming out the back of the intake near the tranny.

 

from what ive heard the plate systems for TPI/LT1 has drawbacks with even distribution or something, its minimal, but its there, and as long as its a "wet" kit doesn't matter if its maf or not, i know that was already covered, but still.... and lastly doing two nozzles into the intake boot thing or into the throttle body is perfectly fine, the only "unsafe about it is if the nozzles pop out of the rubber boot and spray fuel/nitrous all over your motor, and thats why its not recomended for soft rubber, but the throttle body thing shoud work fine... as long as it is possible to drill holes, BTW keep us updated, i know i am interested in doing the same thing

 

 

like this?

~sigh~

yes... thats the throttle body for the LT1 throttle body...

but is it possible to drill holes in the TPI throttle body?

 

maybe but you better get a few extras while drilling in case you hit voids that you don't want nitrous spraying into while experimenting with the drill.
