4-Barrel throttle body

[x-kiwi-x]

So just wondering if any one has any experiance with a 4-barrel throttle body. Iv seen them made by edelbrock, but just wanting to hear from anyone that has actually used one. Thanks alot all.

No such thing for dsms. You're probably thinking of a 4 barrel tb for a v8 efi conversion.

i was on andys autosport under the talon section and they have one by bbk. says its universal? BBK Throttle Body - Power Plus Series 4-Barrel Design for 95-99 Eagle Talon at Andy's Auto Sport

any ideas?

if i am just confused my bad, and thanks for looking.

Looks like a good waste of money.

Boomba racing and strictly modified have a new throttle body on the market. It's made for evo's but will fit on our cars with the isc adapter (and extra $41) check that out.

It looks very air flow restrictive.

that was my big question. why would 4 small holes be better than one big one. oh well. thanks for the advice.

I'm with you(muzda), that thing looks like a bike carburetor, the size of those throttles is tiny I would suggest to stick with a single big one, maybe a 1g.

you say the airflow looks restricted, but remember it's not always about how big your ports are but about how they're shaped.

Example.
2G intake manifold is smaller than a 1G, but generally produces more power because it is aimed right at the intake valves, per Robert Garcia at RRE.

I don't want to make an argument about this, but, I think they are all pointing the same direction, the intake manifold.Then then the air goes trough the runners to the intake valves to the cylinders, etc , etc.

Only on lower powered cars.

You're now comparing apples and oranges. You'd want a larger TB to get the air in. From there, the runners on the IM create the velocity that provides low end torque.
