Default Accufab 4 barrel t body for boost lsx

Has anybody used them on a vic jr or super vic in a z28? Im building a max effort car And was wondering if it work well with boost and yes it will be a huge ci motor and a fairly large frame turbo.

I think it woould work great in my un-expert opinion. Seems like it would distribute the air to each runned better. I always wanted to installl one right on top of the victor....with a 90* bend on top of it.

That is exactly what I want to do. The elbow works good but my thoughs are these throttle bodies and carb style intakes push 408-418 to 600 plus n/a so by being a max effort boosted lsx I should gain some. I just dont know tho.

a 4 barrel carb hat like procharger uses for their carb systems would work good for boost since the system is pressurized the little bend wouldn't be a problem.

I guess you already know with a big single plane and a 4 barrel throttle body your cowl and wipers may be in trouble. In a race car it doesnt matter much though.

I would use an extreme velocity pro series carb hat. Meant for 1000+ hp.

Persoannly, Im not convinced there is anything to gain over an elbow and a 105mm FI TB yet, but would sure like to know if there is one, it looks cool too.

Two options I was looking at:

carb hat http://www.smreperformance.com/index.html with http://www.moranmotorsports.com/prod...roducts_id=101.

Or one of these http://www.prolineraceengines.com/ca...19c82a02e866b5 with http://www.moranmotorsports.com/prod...roducts_id=162.

Your first option looks like a sharp bend, and the second option seems to elimiate the benifit of directing airflow directly to each runner. Just my observations. I would opt for the 4 barrel TB right on the victor.....with a longer CLR 90* bend on top of it!

Thats basically what my new setup is. Accufab 4150 TB, ported/polished Jr Vic manifold, with a Extreme Velocity carb hat. Haven't got it running yet.

I was kind of wondering the same thing. I'm already running an Accufab 4150 setup on my nitrous huffer, but was wondering how it would work for boost.

How well will the hat seal with just the one bolt. I'm thinking of doing a blow through, or t boby on the next project. Just don't know how much boost it can take.

the accufab 4150 tb is by far the best setup for a fi carb style intake setup.It has WAY better airflow distribution that an elbow could ever dream of.The sacrifice is hood clearance.

Victor Jr, Accufab 4150 and a Spectre carb hat fits under the stock hood, well a VFN flat hood anyway.

Same hat about 90% of blow thru's are using out there now, look at Denny Savages old car, it works. I'll need a 6" cowl to put a longer bend on it. Second option, same thing. I'm a tall deck BBC, gotta make **** work and the second option is most likely gonna be it. A 4 brl TB and hat will add 8+ inches on top of the manifold using the hat in that link.

Do any of you guys recommend using something like this as well? I called them and told them about my setup and they recommended a 2" tapered spacer. They said these spacers do a lot more than just increase the plenum volume.

For those that aren't registered with that forum, he had a customer issue with Accufab. Not a actual problem with the TB. From reading that post I am not sure he even owned one of their products.

See thats what I see and hear. I seen cars with a elbow on a vic jr switch to a 4 barrel and pick up close to 30 hp across the board and tq. I dont work for any sponsers lol. But it just shows me that they out flow a elbow set up even with a 90/90 setup. Need less to say Im going for it lol!
