20v smallport inlet

Postby totta crolla » Mon Nov 27, 2017 10:56 pm

Competition regulations that I need to adhere to state that I must use a single throttle body on the inlet and the manifold must be standard. I can get away with using a modified smallport manifold and I wondered how different the port spacing etc is compared to a blacktop 20v head ? Is the 20v head flow advantage over a smallport head worth the effort ?

you can house the itbs to single intake hopefully they wont notice lol

If not MRP has what your looking for they use it for turbo set up but you will need a custom throttle body and wiring

On stock form the Blacktop head will easily outflow a stock smallport head. Flow @ 9mm lift is usually about 180cfm for a smallport, and about 190 cfm for a stock Blacktop. But total numbers are only part of the story... at lower lifts, the 20V EASILY outflows a 16V.

The real difference is in the exhaust, a stock 16V exhaust flows a max of 120cfm, where as the Blacktop is closer to 135.

slight porting on the intake side of a smallport quickly removes any intake advantage at full lift, but the lower lift advantage to Blacktop can't easily be overcome.

The exhaust side of a 16V needs a lot to flow similarly to a Blacktop.

As to port spacing... this is an adapter designed to mount the entire Toyota 20V ITB system to a smallport head.... port spacing should be dead on

Very interesting re. flow figures and it looks like it might be worth the effort.
I wonder what the chances are of the inlet manifold studs lining up are ?
The turbo plenums are very nice but they look 'modified' as far as the scrutineers are concerned.

biggest problem as I see it... the 20V manifold flange is angled, while the 16V manifold is not... likely need to do a bit of creative machining, or maybe make a small adapter......
