steer clear of dbilas, have seen bad results on many builds. cant see extrudeabody being much better

alot cheaper and better, need to make an airbox like you would with extrudebody.

yes, much the same peak hp but the RHD smashes the Exrudeabody in the midrange as you would expect, obviously other differences exist but the boring flat torque and lack of hump in the midrange will more than likely be the ITB, they just dont "tune" where they are supposed to as they are mismatched to the engine combo
Rpm / tq RHD / tq EXT
2500rpm / 135 / 135
3000rpm / 143 / 130
3500rpm /145 / 132
4000rpm / 150 / 133
4500rpm / 160 / 135
5000rpm / 158/ 135
5500rpm / 162 / 145
6000rpm /152 /145
At 4500rpm the RHD has 25 ft-lb advantage which is 18.5%
shame its not a direct comparison on the same engine etc but sometimes that is a rare luxury, nevertheless great info
it would appear that atleast with extrudabody you get a topend gain unlike dbilas, this is likely due to better manifold (rowlands >> dbilas)Last edited by digger; 02-25-2015, 01:27 PM.89 E30 325is Lachs Silber - currently M20B31, M20B33 in the works, stroked to the hilt...

Based on experience, the headers installed have never seen a HP gain, only TQ. Couple that with the better exhaust and longer trumpets, I can see why the TQ was better on the RHD kit. If the Extrudabody car was staying N/A, I would advise the owner to have us install longer trumpets and make another go at the dyno, but he is dead set on a turbo, so those efforts will be put into a nice plenum.
Here is a good read about trumpet length and the effects it has on tq... http://www.emeraldm3d.com/articles/e...length-intake/Last edited by ForcedFirebird; 02-26-2015, 08:02 AM.

Sorry to thread jack but it was something I had always wondered. You said your customer was doing an ITB Turbo M20? What kind of extra gains do you see from adding ITBs to a turbo? I had thought about it before but wasn't sure if there would be much gain from doing it. Do you have any pictures of the ITB turbo set up? I googled it and couldn't find anything.Originally posted by flyboyxhow about if i yank the anal beads out of your ass like i'm trying to pull start a chain saw?Originally posted by Northernbeer is my new liver cleanse.

We will make a thread after it's finished. Not sure there's any public info, we just do what the customers ask.
There would be benefit, albeit not HUGE. With a large plenum and ITB's, the plenum will stay charged and that compressed charge will only have to travel a few inches to enter the chambers. In a typical manifold, the TB will close off the charge pipes and the manifold will be in vacuum and need to be refilled. Doubt there would be much, if any, peak power gains, but the throttle response will change as well as lower RPM power.

Ahh alright that makes sense. Definitely interested in the thread. Do you in your opinion think it is worthwhile?Originally posted by flyboyxhow about if i yank the anal beads out of your ass like i'm trying to pull start a chain saw?Originally posted by Northernbeer is my new liver cleanse.

What do you mean by "runner alignment"? Like orientation in regards to the head/other runners?Originally posted by flyboyxhow about if i yank the anal beads out of your ass like i'm trying to pull start a chain saw?Originally posted by Northernbeer is my new liver cleanse.

Digger, the only reason I revived this thread was because the Extrudabody has always been doubted, or bundled in with the other major mfgr's for power guesstimates. Even with the mis-matched Rowland carb manifolds, they did produce in the end.

I tried. I was the one who did all the R&D for the 24v kits and bugged them about the m20, instead they did m10 SMH. In honesty, they will be out priced by RHD for similar results. I can say, though, their quality is superior - spin castings, linkage etc are all top notch.
