1200 ninga T/B's, to use as quad T/B injection. i think there have been a few guys in the US who have tried ti already. Any toughts from local
builders would be great

My brother has this setup on his 2.0 pinto escort. Works extremely well but takes a bit to setup.
Also reaserch the distance between heads and TB positions, good torque gains can be achieved depending on distance.
My bro moved his out 1 inch and picked up little HP but good torque. Also the linkage setup on the flat 4 would be a little tricky.

C'mon kids gather round,
there's a new sensation hitting town,
It's moving straight, low to the ground,
it'll pick you up when your feeling down.

I have also seen/heard of bike TB's being used on cars - if you can do the fabricating yourself, great, otherwise you wil probably spend more $ in
machining etc than what 'off the shelf' IDA style TBs will cost you. Do the sums first!!!!
Yes, the loaction of the throttle body (and to a lesser extent, the injectors) will affect throttle response and torque etc
