Two rotor Throttlebody Kit
I'd like to run the Two rotor Throttlebody Kit from PPRE on my 86 n/a. Has anyone ran this setup, or know what it exactly take to run on the 13b n/a? I hate the looked of the air manifold and intake for the n/a's, running this twin throttlebody would be so much cleaner! Any help is much appreciated

why you want to spend what the car is worth on just throttle bodies is beyond me.
You may be able to get an opinion from guys in the AUS section or even Bumpstart( Member).

Never ran it myself, but at the least you'll need:
-Lower manifold (either from PPRE, custom or maybe it matches a common carb brand, you'll have to ask them)
-Custom fuel lines with -AN fittings
-Brackets for mounting throttle cable.
-Throttle position sensor
-Standalone ecu
You'll be easily 4k deep in this project in no time just for a different look. You can't use the stock ecu so you'd have to go with a standalone EMS. You'll also lose the multi-length runner system designed into the stock intake. That hurts low-end torque. You'll have to manually adjust the idle and lose the ecu's ability compensate for cold starts.
I agree it looks cool, but there are just so many downsides with little functional gain. Not worth it.
