fporro! Hey man!! So hows that dbilas style ITB setup? Ive heard mixed reviews?

Hey Mariano,

It's actually a dbilas unit, de & rebadge., Rob at e30motorwerks installed it. great guy. he's working on zinno as she needs crank bearings.

So far it feels like flying a kite, you must keep velocity in the stacks to make it take off,
great throttle response at first but flattens out., play with throttle (tense the line on kite) and you feel it catch a sencond, 3rd, 4th wind.
I think those short fat runners are too much of a compromise., or at least i'll find out :)

running Millers MAF & W.A.R. combo with 19lbs. need to install mill's afpr this week

Contacted VFT ... http://www.verbundfasertechnik-opitz.com/8.html they produce a dbilas / m20 specific carbon airbox, yeap, m20 carbon air box, thrumpets are mid range.
should be here in a few days, next will be yzf style thumpets and i'm done.

with the Miller combo I should be able to work it all out :)

miss my m10

Uh oh, an M10 with a CAI...

[sohc12vm20]

so sick

[sohc12vm20]

nice

It'll get cleaned up one day....

[bear]

I'm afraid that vac line will probably fly off wants it stops sucking and starts blowing, boost certainly will be happenin' soonly.
