ITB's on a 24v project, Dyno results Post 136!!!

Yes, these are cool and look great but you would probably be at almost $4k by the time you got these installed tuned and running on an M5x. At that point you could have just gotten an S54.

I already have a full drop in s52, and I don't have a DME for it. So...

They won't cost as much as an s54 ;)

(Am I close?)

We rigged things up a bit just to fire it up. This is lacking air horns and plenum, found a few more things that will need to be added to make it a bolt on. More later...

It will be interesting how much more power with itbs. They look very nice and sound great. I would like to see the pics inside e30 engine bay.

[Farbin Kaiber]

Be still my heart. Is that a prototype manifold? I am asking due to the cut between #3 and #4, maybe to help align and get a good seal?

It's not a cut. They are cast in two pieces and were just misaligned when they were bolted up on a bench.

Dam that looks awesome. Turbo+itbs bad ass!!!

Hell yeah! John, can you give us a guestimated price so I can start saving my monies? What kind of tuning does this require?

[ForcedFirebird]

More info to come. We are a long way out to make them bolt on. Lots of details, plus that nice carbon box won't fit :(

Good thing it was a shelf item, we are going to have to make a custom plenum to send in and be replicated.

Sweet baby jesus. This makes me want to keep my s52, good work man.

in for price info as this might be cooler in my e34 than another turbo setup

YES! We just tuned a turbo OBD1 s52 e34 a few weeks ago, ITB's would be much cooler.

Heheh, Funny thing I was looking at all the possible ITB solutions for 24v motors, but the headache and price was too much(to warrant not getting a s54 or s38 from start, but for several reasons I prefer the s52 to those motors). When I swap I need ITBs in my life. Interested to see where this goes.

Starting a savings account for this tomorrow. Official.
