I'm going to assume you are in Australia somewhere. If so post it up on the 'e30squad' Facebook page and I'll share it out for ya. Someone will jump on it :)

Finally going in for some engine work :)

[bmwandhonda]

My car popped up in the latest issue of Motor Magazine here in australia. Their two page featured a handful of cars from the show and mine was one of them :) Pretty stoked with the tiny little write up too.

[bmwandhonda]

These also came in the mail yesterday


Also still waiting for the trumpets and adapters to arrive while the car sits at the workshop in build mode. Hopefully get some progress shots soon :)

How were you thinking of attaching those socks to the trumpets?

[bmwandhonda]

Cable ties most likely.

So for your itb set up you're running MS (2?) and not plenum. What are you going to do for air metering?
I'm thinking about running the same itb set up you have.

Personally I have no idea in regards to specifics on the tuning side of things. I am leaving the tuning and fabrication up to the engine builder/tuner. He says he has fabbed up set of itb's for his own racecar as well as a few sets for clients in the past. He will be using Microtech ECU for tuning purposes.

When I have more details I will let everyone know.

Was also thinking about getting some mesh steal/aluminium of some sort and making some small internal cages, to stop the filters from just collapsing under acceleration. Will keep a bit of space from the top of the trumpets to the top of the filters.


My old honda Bseries ITB setup had internally caged filters and seemed to work well. But the filters were oiled which probably helped for filtration but not amazing performance wise.

These RAMair filters are dry filters. considering the car is a bit of a weekend queen these days, they should do the job. I am also still considering an enclosed air box setup which would probably be better for longer drives etc as well as keeping it 'legal'. Not sure yet though.

The magazine feature that we did a shoot for a few months back came out a few days ago. Since it is an aussie magazine I highly doubt it will see US/UK shelves. I thought i might share it here. Very happy with how it turned out, pics and write up were great :)

A little dissapointed with the engine shot but no big deal since it wasn't exactly finished anyway.

First ever print feature so I am super happy :)

I didn't know Hot 4's was still in print :razz:
