Yep, I have few questions...
1st, Are you saying that adding individual throttle-bodies only realises an extra 40HP over stock? (For comparison, the Bullet GT roadster with a similar setup was around 400HP)
2nd, how much does your setup cost?
3rd, How does it go with engineering/roadwoarthy from the point of view of induction noise?
4th Are the trumpets the same height as the original plenum? (I'm thinking of under-bonnet clearance here).
If we can achieve good results with something like that, at reasonable cost, then I may be interested...

ok will let you know when we have a roots inlet.
cool1
no i dont have a 3sgte one yet but will try and find you one.
biased99
the roadster SS has a similar setup,exept for its blower and blower manifold{429hp}. the roadster v8 {nat aspirated }has similar setup and is 301hp. individual throttle-bodies will not add much power unless the intake it replaces is of a bad design and or restrictive. they add drivability more than anything, this is why drag racesers use large carbies{950-2000cfm} instead of dividual throttle-bodies , as it allows maximum air up top of rev range but is no were near as good for throttle modulation. the same thing happens when you put a large single on the end of a plenum, it will be dull to drive down low and be at full throttle when buttefly is half open or there about depending on size, makes a car a prick to drive.
engineering can be organised no problem.
the trumpets can have there length changed and can also be carbon fibre in a curved style.
hope this helps

The car to which I referred is the "3rd" car in the Bullet line-up...the Roadster GT, which produced a Naturally aspirated 400HP with a throttle-body setup such as yours, after-market engine-management (obligatory, with this kind of intake), and...I'm not sure what else.
They don't make 'em anymore as AEC (the parent company) decided that the engineering (for noise etc) was too much hassle...Or so I'm told.
BTW, how much does your setup cost?

Mick,
I tried calling you, but the number I have is wrong.
I want one of the remote oil filters ASAP as mine is leaking.
I need to know a little about it first. I only need the adapter on the block, and also does your kit have a spot for the oil pressure sensor?
I've got plugs similar to the remote kit I bought from autopro (3/4 inch hoses I think). I've got bloody expensive hosed from pirtek, but the adapter we made up on the engine side leaks. Not good. Also theres nowhere to put my oil pressure sensor.
Please call me on 0408 235547. I'll probably be interested in some of the other stuff you do for that engine too. And your workshop isn't too far away.

biased99,
I know the car you are talking about, I'll try to find the old Bullet site on the net because it was still up on the net. Personally for me, that was the most impressive car in the Bullet range.
What I'd be asking kingmick was how it compares to the Carbontech gear...
