A few photos before she goes to sleep.

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.

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.

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.

[e30this]

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.

[e30this]

[e30s52]

[sticksdaman]

[e30this]

The shift knob?? got it on ebay.

[alpinaclone]

I have seen those flanges somewhere before......can't quite recall where though...

[e30s52]

How are the itbs going to work with the tps sensor?

It will mount on the end of the TB's like the stock one.

[e30s52]

K thank you!

[e30this]

Yup...

Well the wife sent me some photos. :o

got the shifter back from the welder.
Not pretty but it sure as hell will be functional.
