Sher thing. I might try and get a set cut before chrismas maybe.

[e30this]

no problem. show yours when your done.

[e30s52]

Thanks for the help. Im already on auto cad :)

You have to make a bracket.
I have a flange for the intake side made out of aluminum.






Im not allowed to tell where I got the flange from so please dont ask.

As for being direct bolt on I dont see it happening. If you look at the ports on the TB you will see they are shaped like a B. So I have to cut that piece off and Im going to have the same shape pipe welded the to intake flange and put some silicone couplers in between the flange and TB's like this.

I had thought about having them welded to the flange but what if they get hot and warp. Then the butterflys wont work correct.
So this is the next best way.

I got them for about 350 shipped.

nope. I had them measure between the intake runners before I bought them.
They are exactly 3.5 inches apart. So about 91mm. I got some plans so its gonna work out great. Plus Im not the only one who has done it.

Do you have to make a bracket to mount the itbs? or is it bolt on? and how much did you get them for? I want some.

Looking forward to seeing the ITBs mounted. It's something that I have always wanted to do but could never really justify. Keep it up.

Happy birthday Mrs. e30this!
What are the ITB's from? Your project seems to be coming along nicely. Do you still have the white car?

It says on the pink tag. :)
Yup I still have it. Its sitting in my back yard waiting on a little something.

Happy Birthday Mrs. Mike.

I got that shift knob. You'll love it. It's perfect. ITBs look hot.

Franck has it too. I like it but I dont like the whole M thing in the middle.
oh well cant have it all.

I wonder what the misses has to say about that large, round object in your sig is.

I mean the E30 of course.

Can't wait to see all that stuff in the car, its gonna be a nice touch. And get some chrome trumpets!

She is a butt girl too. She actually likes it. She picked it out in one of the threads over here. :D
Chrome trumpets?
How about some spun billet aluminum ones?!?! :nice:

FELLAS FELLAS FELLAS!!!

Got a big UPDATE today.
The Wifey gave me a call today to tell me I got a bunch of packages that showed up at the garage today. I was very happy.
So I had her take some photos since I didnt want to keep it all to myself.

So up first is this pimp ass shift knob.



Then I got some misc. stuff that came from the dealer and fap99.com.






AND THE BEST OF ALL!!!! I have wanted these since I built the motor for the 4 door. The plan was to run ITB's. Now the M50 is getting them. WHOOP WHOOP!!!




Thanks to her for taking all the photos while Im stuck in a hotel in NJ.
Everyone wish her a Happy Birthday. She is checking the Thread...lol

Lanc-Lanc has tons of mkIII jettas. Everytime I go somewhere I see 2 or 3. Even if it's across the street to WaWa.

And my friend tells me I have a doppleganger around town. Driving a D-Schwartz e30 too.

Haven't seen him though.
