E36 Individual throttle body compatibility

[tobybmw]

Can you directly swap the intake manifold from a US Spec S50 and put the Euro Individual throttle body setup in place of?

Thanks

Doubtful as it appears there are fewer bolts on the intake side.

Besides, it wouldnt gain you much on our motors.

I think i remember that the ports on the ITB are oval and the ports on the motor are round, or vis virsa.

Im 99% sure they are oval on the motor.

if you want ITBs you can use those bike ones, I forgot which. In anycase its going to take a lot of fab work and your going to neeed MS or something like it to read all the TPS's

Huge project. You can IM me and I can tell you all about it.

[kylebes1]

you have to move the brake booster.

either to passenger side, don't know much about that...

or like the e32, in front of driverside wheel

And oil filter housing needs to go, engine management, throttle cable etc etc

In other words, just as hard to do as putting ITB's on any other engine.
