Syncro</title></head><body>
<blockquote type="cite" cite><tt>Seems like the throttle body
clearance is a major problem. About the<br>
only way to get around the physical space restraints that I can
see<br>
is to have an adaptor fabricated, that fits between the throttle<br>
bodies and the plenum, which effectively turns through 90 degrees
and<br>
makes the two throttle body intakes point downwards. Then two
hoses<br>
could be connected and run off to join up with the plastic air box
which is<br>
now mounted to the left side. Would/could that work, do you think?<br>
<br>
It's an alternative to making the air box thinner, which could<br>
constrict the air flow and leave the SVX gasping at higher revs.<br>
<br>
Keep up the good work and keep us posted.</tt><br>

<div><tt>The factory inlet manifolds will be tuned. ANY alteration of
length or to a lesser degree shape will adversely affect the engine's
performance (at least, on a dyno... you might not be able to tell on
the road). The open space before the inlet venturis is most likely
critical...</tt></div>
