    • Hmmm given the low inlet flow rates of the log head (145cfm with porting) it'd be pretty low powered anyway I think.     Custom manifold on the 2v head would work a lot better,  but it'd be cheaper to do a triple dcoe weber style efi setup with that.   Hmmm can always dream of stupid but cool things ford six related.
    • someone may already do a triple throttle body setup, but most would just go the 4 barrel below

    • you wouldn't do that with a triple set up, i''d expect they'd be flow benched to be fairly even, and likely be better on fuel on a stock engine as is with better power and response. 
    • https://www.efihardware.com/products/2883/Pro-Race-Mazda-20B-ITB-Kit-with-130160-Spacing   Ditch the manifold and run a custom fuel log, this could be bolted to a tri power style log head.    I wonder if a Haltech could be programmed to run the middle injector at low and medium throttle and the kick the other 2 in at wide open throttle, just like how the carb setup works.
    • That is awesome, going to look into that one for sure
    • there's a NZ based forum that has a lot of custom stuff.. here's the DIY Fuel Injected Thread 
      (note, if you join there,  read the rules, you can't post in their project threads, they have a separate "discussion thread" also have an intro thread like we have here but it's one continuous thread for each person to post after the next)

      3 ITBs from something that measures up to the right cubic inches would be kind of cool. 
      few guys over there doing custom 3D printed in plastics or metal adapting e throttles to custom engine builds. 
      no idea what's in that EFI thread, but no doubt whatever you've thought of and what you'd never think of would have been discussed/discovered in it. 
    • Hmmm maybe just plug up the middle hole and run 2 of them similar to the old Holden 179 X2 red motor with the twin strombergs.   Could poke a pair of 5 inch chrome aircleaners out of the bonnet like a tunnel ram.
    • https://www.classicindustries.com/product/of5970.html?srsltid=AfmBOopJShH31UIiGYpH4-SrAuCLskDieL5qujshMkkFtBx9am8jzxsp   I wonder how this would go on the log head with triple holley sniper 1100's on it...I guess you'd have to slave the 2 outer TB's to the middles ECU to stop the ECU's from clashing.   Would be a very interesting setup indeed...guess I'd have be a guinea pig for this sort of setup.
    • I reckon it'd be fine with a 250hp 4.1 litre, I doubt it'd go past the 300lb torque limit.   Not overly fussed, it's only a temp box to save me from the 3 speed...I really dont understand what people where thinking when they invented column shift manuals...  
    • you'd have to ask the people running turbo e series i guess.    they are fine behind 351s without getting abused, mate of mine had one in his XE with mild 351 and 3.45 diff,  not sure if the E series T5 is much different strength wise, but another mate has one in an XH 5 litre and it's done probably 20 1/4 mile runs and 250,000kms no issues without getting rebuilt.    i'd be interestest to know what's different about a T5z the turbo barra came with (strength wise)
