Default 8 stack injection

Hello all, I'm thinking about buying this 8 stack injection set up for my LQ9
engine, it is Item # 330884265366 on ebay, any comments for or against
this set up,I want good performance and street ability,but I also want some
bling when I open the hood on my 66 mustang fastback and see a chevy
motor.

Looks like a knockoff of this setup

http://www.jenvey.co.uk/home/throttl...ody-kit-ckct01

It does worry me that there's no installation pictures of the OBX kit, not even on their website.

Does it come with a throttle position sensor?

Yes it does look like the one from Jenvey only less money, And it doesn't say if it comes with a TPS ? I'm probably asking for a BIG headache.

Exclamation I've tuned on

several Hilborn setups similar to this..A TRUE PITA to get the butterflys sync'd, idle to be reasonably smooth.[And this is using a FAST XFI controller.]
W/o IAC, TPS,MAP, info, etc, I'd not touch it w/ a 20' pole.
The OBX stuff is made by HO Chi Min...That says volumes to me.
Also, what do they say about air filters??

It's not that hard to setup.

Or just YouTube search for "lutz 33 ford megasquirt".

I have 3 vids of it running. It's no more difficult than synchronizing a motorcycle individual throttle body setup.

Damn that is cheap. I guess it was only a matter of time. That is an exact copy of the Jenvey system. It looks like it's a square port setup. As long as the TB's work mechanical like they are supposed to, it would be a steal. If not, you won't be able to balance them, or they will constantly go out of adjustment.

Jenvey is sort of the Kinsler of Europe. Their stuff is mint. They supply many itb manufacturers with throttle bodies for competing kits. Kind of funny.

Good luck if you try it. For the price, it would be worth the gamble to me.

A couple weeks ago I got all caught up with thinking how cool it'd be to be able to show an eight-stack intake when I popped the hood, so I went to Inglese's site & checked it out - found out that it would cost me about $5,500 - as long as I didn't need any additional fittings/gaskets/etc.

Yeah, that'd sure be COOL as hell, but there's NO WAY I'm going to spend the same amount that I spent on my complete engine & transmission for just a freakin' INTAKE...

Got the Hilborn efi megasquirt system running on a 468 big block last week in my buddies 65 nova.
Idles like a dream and unbelievable throttle response. Drove it 40 miles around town in traffic and stop and go stop light acceleration trials.
Click on my sig block link for a few videos or this link.

Open headers overpowered my Samsung cell phone microphone.
