Hi Guys,  
Looking for pointers end experience. 
 

want to build throttle bodies to m GTI6 engine by using old parts from the shed. 
the plan is to Cut a std inlet manifold - weld on a plate to the Cut off end - pair it to some Toyota Black top TBs. 
 

have it been done ? Would it work? 
 

My main worry is throttle cable setup, flow and under bonnet space. 

Any thoughts? 
thanks.

what size are blacktop bodies?

[mmt 15]

45mm at least mine are.

ideal then, flow will be fine for 220-240 odd, space in the bay is no issue, using the original manifold allows a good long curve, use the original fuel rail, cable is easy to sort, post some pictures of what you have.

Wondering if it is preferable to have long or short intake tubes between the TBs and the engine? 
 

is it important to keep the TBs level or is it ok to curbe them pointing somewhat downwards? 
 

the Peugeot setup is broader compared to the Toyota setup. Need to figure out How to match the more narrow TB setup to the wider Peugeot intake(this was My What dawned My flow concerns).

doesn't matter what angle the bodies are at especially, carbs is a different matter I believe but that's ancient tech

 

it is preferable to be longer, look up the satchell engineering intake manifold and you will see its at least twice as long as the Jenvey, which doesn't fit nicely  (points the intake at the slam panel/bonnet, making it impossible to have a  decent length), these make a fair bit more power on these engines.

your post from 2015 the internet never  forgets.  
 

do you remember How Big the weld on alu plate was? 1 or 1,5 cm? Or?
