quads conversions?

[eskymo]

howsit...
i need info on how easy/hard it is to convert quad throttle boddies onto other engines....

im keen to try them on a 2L pinto ford motor so i can run injection with my turbo set up....

its easy to get the quads from a 20v 4age and have a manifold made up to mount them, but to get them drivable is an absolute mission, even good aftermarket ecu's will struggle to run them, even when they are set up they will be all go or no go and tricky on part throttle operation, good flow but there is a massive drivability trade off

(this is from what andre simmons has said)

[eskymo]

so what would be a good system to adapt onto it?would the 4age non tvis single throttle body do?should be able to use 3sgte injectors in the rails or not?im just really lost with no help either way....

Dunno why Andre had trouble as we run individual throttle body for each cylinder on a lot of cars, turbo & NA with various forms of aftermarket engine management without a hitch. They are definately not on or off, we've even got a set of 20V 4age ones on a H22A Honda of all things running a linkplus & it's not on/off with regards to the throttle. I can only suggest that they are trying to run the car off MAP/AFM without running a TPS as well.

I'll have a look around as we've got a Pinto motor we do which runs some Jenvey Dynamic throttle bodies on it with a DTA ecu & see if I've got some pics somewhere. If you can get a twin side draught manifold for the pinto you can easily modify that to take any throttle bodies you want.
