Thread: Thinking outside the box.

Outside the box is were I live. it doesn't always get rave reviews, but it makes me happy

This is my home built T with 99 Cad Northstar engine and T-5 trans. the ITB injection came about due to someone on another forum telling me that my idea "wouldn't work", was "a waste of time" etc. so of course I had to build it and prove them wrong. the manifold is fabricated tubing and water jet cut flanges, similar to making a set of headers. on top of those is 2 sets of modified throttle bodies from a GSXR 600 Suzuki motorcycle with the upper shafts and blades removed. all of the sensors, fuel rails, injectors, etc were taken from the Caddy, except for the throttle position sensor, which came from the bike (although I adapted a Cad unit on my prototype and it worked fine also. just more work to adapt). I'm running the engine on a Holly HP ECM and it runs awesome. guaranteed to scare the crap out of the weak or foolish of heart. I know that for a fact, as I just did it to myself last week when the throttle pedal briefly stuck under a carpet edge. yeeeha

so for anyone with an out of the box idea of their own I say go for it. you'd be surprised what you can do if you ignore the box crowd.
