Default Individual throttle bodies

Does anybody know of a manufacturer that makes individual throttle body kits for our cars?

Most are core replacements I think. Proflow, Speed, and Spoon come to mind. Check the sponsors page. Consensus is they don't do anything for the car unless you are FI.

Doh!

Sorry I didn't fully read your question. I thought it was another newbie not using the search function. Sorry for that! Good Question. A Carbon Fiber intake manifold is in the works by Sideways I think. The individulal throttle bodies, if they were available, would require an AEM wouldn't they?

You will need an aftermarket ecu to control them.

FYI,

The Toda throttle bodies are from a Toyota 4age 20 valve in a custom manifold. They are real nice units with good spindles, linkages and springs. Plus they have adjustable idle bypass ports.

Although a fully customizeable ECU would be best, I can't see why it would be required. There are still just 4 injectors, 1 MAP sensor, and 1 TPS. It seems that fuel tuning could be performed using an adjustable FPR and a piggy back computer.
