    Plans for the car has changed. Going to build an m20 3.0 stroker. Strip and cage the car and make a sweet track car. Once I sell my Subaru the build begins!

            Part 1 of the ITB's are here. Just need 2 more and I'll start making the adapters. Using the throttle bodies off of a gsxr.

              I would do some research on sizing those ITBs properly. Most people go too big. I think 40-42mm were a good range for the M20. Id read digger's thread if you plan on building up the M20. Also I think there is different strut caps that will drop the front 15-20mm IIRC. either way keep it up

                Thanks, through my research people are using 38-42mm and these are 38mm so sizing shouldn't be too far off.
                And as far as suspension I'm thinking about going with ground control coilover kit

                  ahh nice. 38mm should be good, definitely not overkill. also, you wont be disappointed with the GC coils

                    Well after a quick mock up these throttle bodies are just not going to work. Back to the drawing board for a good intake setup.

                      Is the bore center wrong?

                        Is it because there is only 4?

                          Probably be about the same cost and easier to drop in an s54. Just saying...

                            Yeah they just won't center up and just a few other little issues

                            Thats why I said "part 1" but yes I would need 2 more

                            :hitler::hitler: Now wheres the fun in that. But yes your probably right. I might do a 3.0l Turbo build. My limiting factor is tires right now, but I just bought a set 17" tarmacs and tire choices are a lot more for 17's then for 15's. So I might just do some flares to run 245's and do a turbo m20

                              If you're set on ITB's, Bullet Ride's thread has lots of great info.
                              If you want an off the shelf setup, check this out.

                                A member on here (bullet ride) has a very nice ITB set up that he is running on his 2.8L stroker. Take a look at his build threads very good stuff in there
