$1 AUD = about $0.87

IMO, I think it's a waste of money. That kind of mod is intended for someone who's going nuts with NA mods (think deck the head, hi-comp pistons, aggressive cam, etc) and just can't get enough air in through a single TB. You'd need a stand-alone ECU to control it, too.

Eh, for what it is, the price is right. Custom built manifold, two TB's, and installation hardware.

It's on RPW's site. Can't post the link since it's filtered due to RPW not wanting to play by the vending rules.

IIRC mitsiman already responded to an inquiry about this. It will not work for the 4g69, I do not know why they have decided to list it in their products but I do remember him commenting on this somewhere... If I can find the link I'll paste it.

No idea what happened to that partnership. Didn't matter, though, since Accolade was selling the parts off of their own site.

i was doing a quad setup but i could not get the motor to engage the flaps....

i used the tbodies from a suzuki gsx1300 and some imagination... it worked manually but when i bolted in the motor it was too much for it...

one motor and four throttle plates? did you try using two or more motors? I have been toying with the idea of a custom intake manifold, but haven't started the research yet. It just seems like the side input design is so inefficient for the #1 chamber
