09-12 FE450 vs FE570 induction boot differences?

Does the 450 boot have velocity stack inside it? Anyone can post a picture of 450 boot?
The reason why I ask is that I'm installing custom 46mm throttle body into my 570, but I can't seem to fit the boot back even after heavily cutting it to make space for the enormous velocity stack the throttle body uses.

It just seems impossible to make decent airtight seal if I'm supposed to use 570 boot. It's already cut to point where I have to use sealant to fill it, and it's not even finished yet. I think I ruined a completely good boot if the throttle body is meant to be installed with 450 boot... :(
 
I don't know for sure but speculating I bet it is the same between the 450 & 570 other than the location of the cylinder attatchment. 450 cylinder would have a slightly different position vs the 570, so the connection off the airboot would be placed a bit different.

I was wondering how you were going to seal around the velocity stack on your throttle body. FP didn't give you any guideance with this? Like point you in the right direction of a special fabric or something you can use to bridge the gap between the rubber boot and velocity stack.
 
This is completely different shape than mine:

I have this one:

So looks like I need 390/450 boot...great!
 
I think you will still have issues with the 450 boot on the 570 motor, much customization with either one IMO. Cylinder position will be different between the two motors, so a slightly different position for the airboot pickup point. You can almost see how the 450 is much more centered in the boot vs the 570 boot.

Fun doing the custom stuff IMO.
 
I installed a 450 boot on my 570. The angle is a bit different but really no problem to squeeze in place.

Nice, thanks for the info. Do you get a straighter shot down the throttle body with it or is it still at an angle a bit?
 
Fun it is! But not when you're hungry and tired.

My mistake all the time when I'm working. Either I don't eat and slowly start loosing focus and get frustrated too easily, or start getting tired after countless hours doing a simple job that should only takes a moment to do when you concentrate and think what needs to be done.

I made a single big cut to the airbox today that took maybe 5 mins and managed to fit the airbox over the throttle body and velocity stack. Had to cut also a bit from the velocity stack on left side so it wouldn't touch the frame and fit well without excessive force. Will work more tomorrow and use old inner tube as a patch over the cut area and glue it in place for airtight seal. Then cut a tight hole for velocity stack and fit it into throttle body, as it's removable part which makes things a bit more easy for installing and maintenance wise.

We'll see how it turns out.
