That's been an ongoing project by a member on E30Tech by Jon Volk, he's using GSX-R throttle bodies, mounted to the manifold plate from a stock M20B25 intake manifold. So far, the project looks to be going rather well, and should produce some impressive, if not interesting results. He's doing it all custom, by hand. Go over to E30Tech and check it out.
turbocharging a 15 year old car that was never meant to be turbocharged is not very practical...but its fun
putting individiual throttle bodies on a SOHC engine designed in the 70's is not very practical.....i would guess its fun, but i have no experience with it.
some people have different priorities when it coms to car modifcations, some like to engineer with a bit more creativity even if it sacrifices the upper 90's of performance.
Thats mine, Im doing the n/a thing for a little while just to see how far I can take an M20 with bolt ons.
As for boosting ITB's...youve obviously never driven an ITB turbo car. The throttle response is just as quick. Take a Nissan GTIR or Skyline for a drive if you ever have the opportunity...youll agree.
I design and manufacture turbo kits for a living so I do have a fucking clue unlike some that have automotive pipe dreams. Ive always wanted to make a set of ITB's and the Diblas (sp?) setup is fucking retarded for how much it costs. I also have less money into the entire setup than some have in there air filter/chip/exhuast setup :roll: .
I just got the car running last weekend and theres still plenty of tuning left as well as the learning curve of a new standalone (Megasquirt for both fuel and spark). I still need to sort out the brakes as I miscalculated master cylinder piston diameter. I also have '02 M Roadster brakes/suspension that are going on the car as well. After all is said and done Id like to give the S38 swap a try.

I swear, some people around here need to rediscover the definition of "hobby."
