First things first credit where it is due, I was inspired by Bullet Ride original M20 ITB thread to begin a build of my own. some of the BIG factors that made me want to do this, s38 itbs are crazy expensive these days and hard to find none the less. the require heavy modification of the thermostat housing and dont really clear the brake booster either. not to mention they are slightly over sized. the goals of this project is not record breaking peak perfomance, but rather pure driving pleasure, sound, and cool factor; as the m30 is gods engine after all. Its something ive always wanted to try and i have no idea how this is gonna turn out. But im gonna give it a go and keep you guys along for the ride. With that being said im open to any criticism as it will only help make a better project in the long run, so if anyone has any suggestions or things that you think might help, feel free to comment!
The Car:
-1987 late model conversion
-m30b35
-condor subframe bushings
-poly everwhere else
-Wanganstyle 4 clutch diff
-HR sport/race
car used to be my DD, now will become dedicated drift/track the more i progress
the build:
-13-15 Triumph Daytona 675R 44mm throttle bodies
-early m30 L-Jet "banana" Manifold (Thanks Victor!!)
--ms2 pnp wasted spark MSD coils (s/o to frank LeGrande for the hookup)
a little introduction, my name is Zollo originally from NC, proud member of the e30CCA (you should join: e30CCA.com) This was the first car i ever purchased, has been my daily for 6 years put me through college and back and survived years of abuse in between. I have now finished school and have been able to put more energy towards the car as it becomes a dedicated track toy. Im going to keep building and learning with the car as i go. its all a process
here is how the car sits currently
So First thing i did was hop on ebay and start looking at throttle bodies, i first purchased an set 05 throttles that were in rough shape for 22$
In order to mount them originally i was going to cut some flanges off an intake manifold to retain the injector bosses. then the idea of using the older manifold came to thought and by sheer dumb luck the bore spacing of the tubes and throttle bodies is a near dead on match.
this got me very excited and thats when i decided to go ahead further with this and went Back onto ebay. I purchased two more sets, this time specifcally from the 2013-2015 675 R* the r came out in 13 and was a sportier version of the existing daytona. There was clear difference in machining quality and overall appearance of the newer throttle bodies over the 05 ones I originally had. The first set of R throttles ran 55$ shipped and came with velocity stacks. the second set was 72$ shipped and didnt have stacks so i ordered some online and that ended up being 25$
so far:
MS2 with coils- 150
(6) throttle bdy+127
velocity stacks +25
L-Jet manifold +45
totall: 347$
