The intake manifold is a big reason the RX8 makes what it makes for HP. If you want webbers, build a 4 port 13b. You will make more power than a renesis on Webbers.

have you done this ronin? probly not....so thats your theory. this is a how to thread. not a "do it my way" thread thank you...

RONIN FC

No, but I have carbed a 6 port, last I checked the renesis was a 6 port. You put a webber on the Ren with 5+6 ports open, and you will experience carb tunning problems never before known to man !



Your arguing a point you dont really understand. That engine and manifold are designed to work together! By deleting the manifold, your eliminating the things that make that engine beneficial in N/A form. That was my point.



Its gonna be hard finding help in here if you keep acting the way you are...

im not gonna use a carb ronin. individual throttle bodys are my weapon of choice. (picture) and every engine and manifold are designed to work together. but everything can be improved upon. hence the aftermarket world.



and i seem to be getting th answers i need. except from the people who shoot down ideas before there ever tryed. i have read through a lot of threads. and they always wound up in arguements and get off topic. they go from a how-to into a thats not how i would do it battle. i dont want this one that way.



the question was, (refering to MY manifold of choice) can i cancel out the stepper motors, run my own throttle cable to the ITB's. and make a custom lower manifold. still fuel injected.



my brother has a haltech e6k for cheap. outdated or will it work?

RONIN FC

You know, what * I * would do, is obtain the whole engine and change to a conventional TB, and premix. Thats just My way of doing it. And how I would do it.



Not trying to battle, just my opinion.

sen2two

if i used per mix i could cancel out the stepper motor for the metering pump right? not a bad idea...what do you mean "conventional TB"?

RONIN FC

LOL, I tell you how I would do it My way, suddenly you start listening..



I meant a comparable, or even better aftermarket TB for another application that uses a throttle cable. I believe some even come with a TPS.

When going standalone, you can pretty much use any throttle body you want. It doesn't have to mate with the factory electronics.



Someone put an Edelbrock throttle body on an FC, so you might wanna contact them and see if they have anything you can use.



It'll get rid of your stepper motor problem.
