I've had a Lulzbot Taz5 for the last 5 years. I print pretty much everything with it. Gaskets, trinkets, prototypes...

This happened to me twice before I made some mounts out of stainless steel, the original mounts were made out of aluminum.
Noted, I'll machine up some stainless brackets.

Great thread.

imho/e the tb spacer bottom should be same as intake manifold top.

Top of spacer mounting surface same as bottom of tbody mounting Surface.

The transition from the two is grad as possible.

All of this not as important, but can still help, as it would be as a carb or tbi tbody, because no fuel in this area to get stuck too.

Carbon fiber reinforced PLA. It has a higher heat deflection temperature than basic PLA. Also, I've had a piece of this material sitting in a jar of gasoline for a month with no ill effects. I know gas won't be going through the throttle bodies. I printed carb spacers previously out of PETG.

I have one of the Holley dual sinc distributors that you will need if you are going sequential port. Or you will have to go with a crank trigger and a cam sensor

Rookie, how many LBs per hour do your injectors flow?

I bought 80 lb/hr injectors. A little on the large size for my engines, but if I added superchargers at a later date I did not want to buy injectors again. Smitty and I discussed this before I purchased them and thought this would be the best route.

I was just pricing out crank triggers. I would eventually like to switch to sequential. Probably start out bank to bank unless I have issues with idle.

Crank triggers are money well spent. I have seen 30hp difference on back to back pulls using a crank trigger vs pickup in dist. And the timing is rock solid.
