I have been planning on running a TWM 50mm (IDA type) throttle body on a downdraft intake on a large street ported 13B. I would prefer to not do a bridge port, since I would like some bottom end. For the most part, I generally just autocross the car.



Is this too much of an intake?

should be just about right, its a little bigger than a 48ida and should flow a little better as well

Well here os the challange.

Most folks use 42 or 44 mm chokes in the IDA. This really drops the actual size of the port. a 50 mm throttle body will flow a good deal more than a 48 IDA (even a 51 IDA).

That is why I ask if it is too much...

Any amount of porting will put you in the Prepared class, so why not go ahead and bridge it? Or at least go half-bridge. That's what I run. Now I just gotta get tires so I can actually compete.

I run in a small club with liberal rules. I am pretty sure I can get away with a streetport, but a bridge or PP...no way.



On another note... Yes, tires make a world of difference!

I am running 710s on 8" wide wheels and my car finally sticks.
