S50 question

[Boosted E30]

Im thinking of doing a s50 swap, i can get motor,trans harness everything needed for a good price. My question is if i used my stand alone to run the s50 would i be able to use the s54 itbs on the s50?

Im still serching so sorry if this has been asked already.

I would study this thread carefully before attempting the itb swap.

Why would you use the s54 itbs rather than the Euro s50b32 ones? The s54 uses drive by wire, and the s50 uses a throttle cable.

Do you have the itbs already? I have a spare s50b32 throttle body assembly I've been meaning to post up for sale.

I can get the s54 itb for next to nothing from a friend thats why the idea came up. I would like to have a itb engine but i dont really wanna pay the 6k for the euro motor.

How hard would it be to mount the s50b32 itbs to a US s50.
