well it would run nice and lean with two on ..

I was told air coming from both sides distorts the air flow

[SILICONEKID340HP]

Can`t they go side by side..

But then either the front or back of the plenum would be down on flow

So you would end up with 3 throttles

Then it would just be a mess

[SILICONEKID340HP]

So how does the ACT carbon plenum work? surely some one could fab up one out of the original plenum..

[Barkychoc]

Daz you need to stick them to your plenum - can you think of anything to stick them with?

[SILICONEKID340HP]

I know a top welder ..Why has know one chopped the original plenum to make a tripple act type setup.Can you buy the triple throttle things seperate.. if they work so well something cheaper could be made because the carbon ones are silly money..

[Alexdaredevilz]

If you google LT1 throttle body

That's what I'm having fitted soon

[SILICONEKID340HP]

Like this ,do you have a picture ? The act triple has three have 3x45mm trumpets so that must be the right amount of air needed.

[Alexdaredevilz]

That's simalar to my one, it's 52mmx2

Will flow abit more than the 71mm big bore stock throttle body

But in theory will give me nice throttle response,

ACT must of done alot of research before putting there triple plenum on the market so 3x45mm must be the optimum for the 5l motor.Surely there is a maximum amount of air needed.How does 3x45mm compare to the bored out setup i have..

"This kit is designed"

Somehow I doubt that very much, bet its a couple of scrap castings of an old jag or something, there to remove money from the unknowing......

I read the bit; "...weld the bodys [sic] onto your std plenum cover...", and think "that sounds like fun!".
Claims "Part Manufacturer: tvr power"

Maybe call TVR Power and ask. Who knows?

[SILICONEKID340HP]

Can anyone calculate the difference in air intake from the bored out plenum i have to the ACT one with 3x45mm.There must be a max where there is just to much air.

The ones one Fleabay come as a pair designed to be welded on to the plenum

[Chilliman]

I (as you know) have the triple Daz and it's still not getting enough air Hence the next induction mods to be carried out It's why she peaked at 354.5 bhp (that and the running in map) We're expecting it to be nearer 370 when we can get more air in.... plenty of fuel going in, just not enough air for an optimum burn
