Making my own induction

Hi everyone, I gathering parts in hopes of building my own fuel injection induction. I want the system to use a LS-1 throttle body since I have one. Given the fact the a IDF throttle are 40, 44, and 48, I feel a single throttle body for a LS-1 should fit the bill. After all it supplied enough air for a V-8
Your thoughts please. I'll post pictures of the throttle body tomorrow


The Dub shop make some nice IDF mating plates, next CB makes some nice manifolds and lastly the injectors body maybe possible to mod to the CB intakes. I would need to have the mating surface water jet for the throttle body. I'd like to have the setup over the top of the shroud and center; with the air cleaner facing forward.

As you mentioned it is enough to feed a V8 which in the case of an LS is approx 6L...If you've got an aggressive cam with big valve heads etc that can support the airflow of an LS throttle then no prob.
Just be mindful of what power you are expecting from your motor, and then utilise an appropriate sized throttle body....

Cheers

The throttle body butterflies are collectively not larger than. 4 IDF 40mm butterflies, I feel the V-8 sucks harder, however I don't know the science of it
