Just run a single TB and put the boost to it.
My 1679 has a custom homemade intake shaped like the stock intake but a little larger tubing due to matching the CB FI inlets outside diameter. I think it is either 1 5/8ths or 1 3/4 inch tubing. That is the largest that will fit without interfering with the alt stand and having to flatten the tubing to fit underneath it.
I have great low end and good top end.
The way to more HP is in RPM's I have found. If you limit rpm to 5000 you limit hp. Turn it up to 7000 rpm you will gain a lot.
Main reason for not going with a single throttle body is due to packaging. I am planning on using a center mount fan shroud with FJCs Insert which is gonna make a single TB real hard to do. Also trying to gain some torque with a dual plane manifold

Not a V8.

True but the same concept applies.
So far I've got dual 45mm Throttle Bodies leading into a unknown volume plenum then into 18.5" runners from plenum to intake valve. That will give me a boost in cylinder filling at 3750rpm using the 4th wave harmonic.
Any other inputs?

No deck lid? That's a bunch of hardware. :shock:

Sorry ran the numbers wrong.lol Got a Ninja edit in there :wink:
Will have a decklid and one of those whale tail wings to fit everything. :twisted:

I can't see your picture
Yeah some may call it overkill, but you can't have too much overkill.

Since you are only after 100 hp per liter you are talking 210 hp correct ? I think almost any system you make will exceed that goal while under boost. Heck I think you could get that using a stock setup with your EFI system on your 2110. Keep it simple as possible.
