Ok so a little bit of write up to try and highlight some of the key things I had to do to finish up the mechanical bits on this project... In order to shorten up the cables that came with the throttle bodies to use for this project I needed a few little bits and pieces like cable ends, ferules, and ...

Here it is ladies and gents... details coming when I get a chance to write something up.

Oh snap...

I'll do some more write up with pictures when I get a chance.

Not yet.... it's too cold in my garage right now lol

I will be finishing up this project for the spring time though.

I took a few minutes yesterday to tack together the main part of the throttle assembly so I could test fit it on the motor with injectors, fuel rail and injector harness. Everything appears to be clear... http://i1290.photobucket.com/albums/b529/StevoM20/2013-09-03172752_zps28aef607.jpg http://i1290...

I realize that I haven’t updated this in a while, but that’s only because there’s been nothing up update on unfortunately. Fortunately however, I am hoping to machine a couple of the bits I need to mock up my throttle linkage after work this evening. I figured that in the meantime I might post some ...

They aren't quite done yet.

And I still need to get to the dyno to do a baseline before I swap over.

Unfortunately I've got too many other things on the go currently. It's been hard to find any time to work on this project.

Awesome work! Looks very professional! What's the progression like off idle? I've done a fair few sets of ITBs for various engines and experimented a little with throttle progressions. If you rig the cable up to a bike throttle directly, the car feels razor responsive at low engine speeds, then alm...

I know it's been a while since I've posted any updates, that's because there hasn't been many... I was able to squeeze a hose behind the booster, it involved cutting the hard line from the heatercore back a bit. There's not much for the hose clamp to squeeze on, but it hasn't been leaking so it shou...

I totally mis-read that. I had a long day in the garage yesterday swapping out an old rusty gas tank... must have sniffed a bit too much gas fumes :mad: I kept the runner extensions and silicone couplers as short as possible so that I'd have room to fit the bike's OE v-stacks and clear the strut bra...

The manifold extensions are more or less as short as they can be in order to get the angle I want and have meat to clamp the silicone reducer, they are roughly 2" long. I've also trimmed back the silicone reducers a bit as well. I'm currently just working on the throttle linkage. I also rerouted the...

So I brought the car out of storage yesterday. I took it for a rip around the block just to get a little taste before it would be going on blocks for the next few weeks. First order of business was obviously to drain the coolant and pull the intake manifold so that I could test fit my ITBs... http:/...

i know what they do and are capeble of but i was more meaning of how do you think of it most people just say something en expect high gains. and is it worthy enough to spend time and money in it. sorry for my bad englisch btw. That's why I said "if done right they can give you some nice gains" It's...

looks great and interesting, i'm also planning to build itb's in the future. but what is the real benefit of itb's? still not clear for me. Steven It seems odd to me that you are planning to build ITBs in the future even though you don't know what they do... you just know they are good haha? In a n...

Saw that when you posted it on another forum, thought it looked like a good job then and now its on the engine is looks even better. Well you can't really see it since I'm running the stock dizzy still :P Once I finish my ITB project the next project will likely be converting my MS to wasted spark ...

Some updates for everyone.... Yesterday I got two runner extensions tacked onto the manifold. As you can see I've done a bit of work to the manifold hogging out material. That's so the end of the runner matches the ID of the extension. http://i575.photobucket.com/albums/ss191/StevoM5/M20%20ITB/ITBS0...

So I modified the other tab on the throttle body yesterday, it was a bit trickier since I had to weld it while it was still attached to the throttle body. It turned out ok, it ended up being a bit twisted after welding so I had to bend it a bit. However it seems solid and should work fine... http://...

Modified one of the tabs the other day. One side was removable so I was able to cut it and weld on a piece of sheet metal... http://i575.photobucket.com/albums/ss191/StevoM5/M20%20ITB/2013-02-27143238_zpsfc111133.jpg http://i575.photobucket.com/albums/ss191/StevoM5/M20%20ITB/2013-02-27143224_zps50ec...

(JUST A NOTE: I'm copying and pasting my posts from another forum, so the timeline is a bit off obviously :roll: ) Small updates: The aluminum tubing showed up a couple days ago, so next week I'll cut a couple pieces and get them tacked on to the manifold in order to check clearances. I also made up...

I have been posting about this build on a couple other E30 forums. I don't frequent here as often so I didn't really think about posting it here, but I figured you chaps might fancy a look at what I've got going on, and as always I value a good technical opinion :) I've been wanting to try my hand a...

I made one for my 2.8L M20 last year. If you know a shop that can laser cut you some 3/16" plate you can make your own fairly cheaply using the stock pulley. http://i575.photobucket.com/albums/ss191/StevoM5/M20B28/gear3.jpg http://i575.photobucket.com/albums/ss191/StevoM5/M20B28/gear4.jpg http://i57...

I just cut the connector off my auxiliary fan and attached it to my after market fan, that way your fan plugs into the stock wiring harness and kicks on with the temperature switch in the rad. Since I removed my a/c if I want to manually turn on the fan I just press the a/c button because that autom...

An M20 2.8L stroker will get you past the 200bhp mark fairly easily.

Standard M20B25 injectors are 147cc/min (14lb/hr). If you are going for over 200hp then you need at least 200cc/min (19lb/hr) injectors. The bosch 0 280 155 700 are a common swap. My 2.8L stroker is running those injectors without any issues and I'm currently making 182whp (roughly 205-210hp at the ...

Those are 166cc/min (16lb/hr) injectors. They should be adequate up to about 180hp with a stock fuel pressure regulator.

yeah I know you can he's on about buying maps not the software but if this guy is asking about it you think he's going to be able to map it him self don't think so :) He asked " is there a programme I can buying so I can link to my laptop to mess around with setting like run eco or changing mapping...

you cant buy programs for ms you get some one to map it unless you know what ya doing map it ya self does it have wideband ? there are a few guys out there that know ms i use one guy thats from spalding he knows his shit What? You can download Tunerstudio for free and use that to tune the all of th...

Thanks for that info, need to findout how easy/expensive it is to do that work to the pistons. Going on the Schrick spec sheets they one give 0.01mm clearnace on the 284/272 cam. It's easy if you have the right tooling. I machined my pistons :cool: http://i575.photobucket.com/albums/ss191/StevoM5/M...

What bottom end was that with Bullet_Ride? sorry, I should have been more specific. My cam is a 284/272. Schrick doesn't sell a 284/284. The bottom end is an M52B28 crank, 130mm rods from the M20B27 and late model M20B25 pistons. With the block shaved 0.5mm I had this much valve clearance on the in...

I'm running a schrick 284 with stock valve springs. My block was shaved 0.5mm and I needed to cut deeper valve reliefs into the pistons because I only had ~0.5mm of valve clearance on the intake side. The car idles fine, I haven't had it through emissions testing yet but I have it tuned so the AFRs ...

Double checked that you plugged the HT leads into the proper spot on the cap?

E30_Crazy wrote:So the kit you linked has software also, not just the plug and box to run standalone?

I use tunerstudio (which you can download and install for free) to link my laptop to the kit. That way you can tune and adjust all the engine parameters to your liking

I'm using 44mm throttle because I was able to get 6 for about half the price it would have cost me to buy 40mm throttles. I'm going to build my ITB set-up in such a way that it shouldn't be hard to change over to smaller throttles if the 44s really prove to be that bad. If someone wants to donate a ...

I was afraid that i would have spend much money on dyno test time.
How difficult is the soldering when putting the ecu parts together ?

As long as you've got a pencil soldering iron with a clean, small tip and some good solder it's a breeze.

Hi, my engine is much similar to yours. Sadly the head broke last week and now im rebuilding it. Im thinking about to switch now to ms2 and as you write it is so easy with the diypnp-bosh-kit i think its the right thing for me. But, how good is the basic tune in this kit ? Did you a lot of tuning t...
