Possible ITB Goodness for the M42 Hooligans?

[ForcedFirebird]

Aren't the ITB's you're referencing for the E36 M42? At lease that's what it says in the M42club thread. That might need to be clarified before we all get our hopes up as most of us are E30 owners.

The e36 m42 and the e30 m42 are interchangeable. Not long ago we took an m42 from a 1995 e36 and stuck it right into an e30. Just moved over the e30 specific parts like upper intake, sensors, v-belt drive etc. The m44 was a little different, but these should still bolt right up. Tuning is another story.

Yes prototype up and tested with great results on a STD engine STD ecu! all the results and updates are on the m42 club forum.

John at WOT will definitely have these available once they are in production, maybe still a couple months away

generally speaking for turbo setups you want one large throttle body, opposed to ITB's but that's just from what I've seen on most cars.

I am aware, however nobody as far as I know make an off the shelf single throttle intake and I don't really have the skill to make one myself and getting a custom one would be $$$$$$

Do you reckon you'd be able to fit a plenum and make it suit turbo?

Any updates?

With proper design and research, they will make more everything everywhere. Sound, torque, horsepower, mi-range, top end etc etc

Ok so now this sounds like a true ground up project! I'm very interested!

Definitely interested, but purchasing will depend on performance/$$. Adding mid range power with little impact to the top end would be a big plus.

nice to see Rama on top of things. Wonder if we could get the m42 ECU to work with them like we did with the m20 and m5x.

Goodness, and I thought M42club was a bit dead. Guess I ought to check in every now and then.

+1 for pricing on a kit with a tune! would be awesome to have some info!

[Balleristic31]

I'd be interested in pricing but its probably going to be more than I can afford lol
