    Your best bet with M20 ITBs is Racehead in Australia. I know of 4 RHD M20s out there, 2 of them strokers. They just came out with an airbox which was the missing ingredient.

    318aye, fporro and kamotors are all using RHD ITBs now. There's also a guy with a 3.1 Hartge vert in the UK using them. Check out 318aye's build thread for great info starting here.

    I bought my dbilas setup in 2013 before the RHD setup hit the market. They are basically oversized for an M20 and the plenum is too small to max out torque. The only way to use them to good effect is to stroke out the motor and consider adding FI as well. I'm just on the first stage of the journey right now. Next comes headers, stroker and MS2, finally a vortech centrifigual SC. Will take me a couple of years to get there.

    You can see a bunch of research and links in my build thread starting about here and then continuing here.

      !!!

      Was curious to open this post


      Only to find myself drooling over a vert.

      Now I want a vert!!!!!!!


      They seem to be more fun,
      specially living out here in SoCal.

      The interior is much more interactive.

              I just fitted the Bilstein B12 kit and thought it would go a bit lower than that!

                    I'm pretty certain there is no difference.

                          Love the Mtech front and rear bumpers without the Mtech sideskirts. Looks great.
