Kamotors E30-Turbo to ITB M20

[kamotors]

I didn't measure but just went until it just cleared booster by about 2-3mm. I have condor mounts so hopefully it's enough clearance. It put it high enough that had to cut out a good chunk of the hood skeleton. Even after clearance the metal backing plate with a notch around booster and flattening the bottom of the number 6 velocity stack to get it installed .

The itb's look great!i really want a set, but I doubt they would fit the ix.

Why do you think that stonea? I'm def game for RHDs on my IX when the time comes

[CarsonE30]

On a scale of yes to no, what about doing an ITB'd and boosted M20? I'll be the donor test car :devil:

I don't have my ix with my 325i to compare the differences, but I know the ix booster is much thicker so it probably pushes the reservoir into where the airbox would be, but there could be room under there and its just the angle of the picture. I'm sure the booster its self will clear since people use it for clearance in 24v swaps. I guess you could do a remote reservoir the more I think about it.

[bradnic]

Ahh the booster of course. Much smaller diameter but much thicker as you say.. Maybe Rama can chime in

[kamotors]

I'm willing to bet a smaller diameter brake booster that is a bit thicker would clear the airbox just fine.

the booster being thicker wouldnt interfere from what i can see.
