Hey guys, im looking a building up an A15 motor and I've come into a 4age quad throttle body is there anyway I can make this work on my a15? Or what would be the best way to run itbs. I understand that there will be a lot of work in doing this. Is there anyone who could help me in doing this?!?

Re: A15
Check Kitch's build thread, buryed in there some where is an intake build, using said throttle bodies.
You can buy ITBs that bolt up to DLHA/DCOE manifolds.

Re: A15
procuring the 4AGE ITB's is the cheap / easy bit...
I gave Luke a set for his coupe - cruel gift!
There are far more affordable ways to get performance out of an A series, I did the ITB's for personal preference as a point of difference, aesthetically pleasing, tunability with sweet sounding high rev A series music
These are the things u need to acquire to make work & ball park costs from my experience:
> High pressure EFI feed pump (& preferably a surge tank setup with lift pump) $200-1000
> Uprated feed line & new return line from engine bay back to tank (or surge tank) $50-200
> Fuel Pressure Regulator, New flexible fuel lines, filters & fittings $200-500
> Custom inlet Manifold $400-1000
> Custom Fuel rail & injectors $200-400
> Fuel control ECU, wiring loom, engine tacho signal, relays etc etc $1000-3000
> Velocity stacks / trumpets $200-400
> Dyno tuning $300-500
I also obviously have gone to ECU driven wasted spark ignition setup & have oxygen sensor etc
If I was to do it all again I would do it differently.
I would do EFI Hardware ITB kit or similiar on a redline DCOE manifold with haltech or Link G4 Atom
I would be surprised if you could ITB / EFI an A series for under 3K; my setup owes me close to 6K
