    So do you plan on running alpha n with your itbs? Or your gonna add a plenum so you don't have to switch it over?

        probably alpha N, the ITB's include a new TPS that I believe is variable unlike the stock TPS i've been running for years.

        But I will be doing a plenum after this auto-x season so I can be ready for boost.

        Block is ready for a fresh coat of paint, oil pan is ready to be tapped, and head is ready to install the new cam and rocker arms. Too bad I never have time to work on the car.

            yeah when running NA i would do alpha-N or alternatively MAF once you have a plenum provided there is enough space and you arent using a big duration cam etc

                  Yes because it will be boosted eventually. That's why I went with the milder cam as well. Just want to eventually replicate my last m20 only better.

                    Just don't get all crazy and run 22psi and crack the block. I'd do some building before I ran 22psi

                        So is your plenum going to bolt directly to the throttle bodies without the trumpet spacers?
                        Just wondering because the trumpet spacers aren't o-ringed like the throttle bodies are.
                        You'll probably need a gasket in there if you are planning on using them.

                            these trumpets will not work with my plenum it will have bolt on adapters for the ITBs, then couplers to the plenum. like this

                            the plenum at the least will have aluminum base plate with welded on stacks, possibly a Carbon plenum but more likely just aluminum.

                            installing a gasket vs. oring would be like a 10seconds conversion. just make gaskets similar to how the stock manifold bolts to the head.

                              block cracked because I blew the headgasket at 25psi.

                              but it wasnt the boost that cracked it; it was because I drove over 5 miles without coolant to get the car home lol.
