Re: TPI?

It is now known as First Fuel Injecton. The system is still available. I understand that a member is going to put the First TPI intake manifold on his car.

Re: TPI?

is that an old first system then? looks different from the current one, just figured it was some custom tpi done for the vectors. a first manifold is on my list of possible mods, but im nowhere near actually doing it yet.

Same system. The one in the picture has been polished. They are available with different colors.

Re: TPI?

Ferrari has used a tpi type system for years. I think I saw it on a 512BB first. They just use a separate plenum for each bank of cylinders.
