A15

Post by SunnyR32 »

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?!?

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.

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
