This reminds me of the old 1 downdraft carb per cylinder style of induction
system (Calliope Intake). I suppose, in theory, you could apply two, four or
eight TBI's to a v8 engine (you would have to have O2 sensors to match). This
would be totally optimized if you had 8 O2 sensors (one on each exhaust) and
either 1 super-computer to monitor all 8 sensors and adjust each TBI
individually or 8 computers each recieving the same input signal from the
drivers foot as well as engine inputs, but each getting the indvidual signal
from it's own independant O2 sensor. In this way each cylinder would be
burning at peak efficiency. A bizzare modification, and if I had oogles of
dollars to look into it, could be kinda interesting to see how "efficient" you
could make an engine. Food for thought... Maybe a government grant... ^_^

Being the gearhead I am, I thought to myself, with all this TBI and =
plenium modifications being done, what if somebody came up with a dual =
TBI system. I know that working on 1 TBI is easier, but having 2 TBI's =
that put out less CFM's per unit would have better benefits on the mid =
thru upper ranges of the rpm's. Is there anybody that could build or =
mold such a system? How would this affect computer outputs if the =
sensors are connected up parallel to each other, cause the computer =
would only read as 1 signal. Are intakes such as a dual TBI system even =
fesible or workable- it seems like it would work, because I read once =
that there is a company in California that is making a 4-TBI system that =
works wonders on the little Neon, and it's suppose to be 50 state legal. =
Jules--any input on dual TBI units or workability? It would be sure =
COOOL to open the hood and see 2 TBI's
