I hate to start a new thread if this has been covered and talked about, I did search but I may not have used the right “key words”. I am curious and I’m sure it has been done, an ITB (individual throttle body) intake setup. And a rough estimate on funds to make it work. I’m sure it’s going to be one of those things that’s not worth it unless I’m racing, or whatever or other intake manifolds, designs. Curious to see what is out there for these V10s without searching the dark cobwebbed corners of the internet lol.
The Gen III/Lambo Intake is a sexy design. Is it a good Manifold? Fine, but not great.
Porting the Gen III just seesaws torque and horsepower numbers and provides limited results. Extrude Honing...about the same.
A front-mounted E.F.I. Throttle Body style Injection setup would have all kinds of distribution issues on such a long Intake. One for each cylinder wouldn't be practical.
I sent a GEN III Intake to Wilson for modification and although they rarely reject a chance to modify one, they did reject it.
Instead, 13 grand would buy a brand new design which leaned heavily toward racing. Because that's what they do (and do very well).
3 other companies were also contacted and came back with largely the same result.
We had interesting results with the Gen II Intake on a Gen III. It provided a boost of 50 lbs./ft. of torque in a narrow r.p.m. range but NO horsepower increase. That Intake is too ugly for me and looked like it belonged on an Industrial application, like maybe a boat(?) My opinion...
I.O.W. limited options. If you know someone that understands airflow and happens to have a large enough 3D Printer, possibilities are endless!
Let me know if you have any luck elsewhere.
