i'd say it wouldnt be too different with a K20, their basically the same motor.

pull your intake and battery out and have a look?

If the intake manifold's off the car then so is the throttle body and you can't do it

instead of bypassing the tb by looping the 2 lines into one, is it possible to buy bungs and block off the 2 barbs which supply the coolant?
and then put bungs/plugs on the barbs on the tb?

woahhh simon you can get 8.5L from city driving?!?!?! Im getting 9.7-9.9 if I drive normally, and thats after my pulley install...before I had the pulleys done i rarely seen 10L consumption on my screen. mayb its cos mines an auto. oh by the way the pulley really helped the low end torque, and helped a lot on the fuel economy. nowadays the car shifts at 2k rpm and the power delivery feels the same as 3k rpm prior to the new pulleys.
