A friend and I were discussing the possibilites of making turbuelence in an air tract where air is 'let in' by a throttle body.
Now let's say there is a 70mm opening for the actual intake (efi car here), and in front of this 70mm opening, we put a 65mm throttle body.
Would having a smaller throttle body in front of the 70mm opening 'hurt' potential horsepower/torque output, or create turbulence? I just can't see it happening since it is smaller.
Does it matter whether it is under part throttle or wide open throttle or is the result the same, either turbulence or no-turbulence.
I see how a 75mm throttle body in front of a 70mm intake tract could cause a problem because the 70mm wall (5mm less diameter) would allow air to hit it right?
I hope this made sense and any feedback is welcome:)
