Did a search but couldn't find any proven results..

Thinking of buying these 2 mods to go on my otherwise standard tech 2.

Can anyone confirm that they go well together?? And any chance anyone has done an RR session with just these mods(on a 325)??

Cheers

Yes, they go very well together indeed :D Don't know of anyone who's done a straight back to back test with & without em, but the results for both are well proven...

Cheers Ziggy.

Was speaking to Bexley Motor Works today. I've heard they have a RR.When I get the parts I'll take them there and get 2 runs to compare.

Have a look in the tech articles section (link at the top of the page), for what Bexleys think of the BBTB! You'll love both... :thumb:

It's what I've got on mine (except my mani!), but it's the early lump... more gains to be had from the later one anyway though! :D

We have seen typical 4hp and 7Nm increase on the 2500cc E30 with the throttle body, This isnt the full story however.
You get power gains throughout the rev range.
If it helps I could post up a dyno run of a test we did with one.

Meh, get yourself some racing dynamics rightness! :P Mine's the RD mani, straight through to a supersprint rear box (RD front section with the silencer cut out). Not what you'd call cheap, but i like it. Did the ITG make any difference? What did you have on there before?

The car felt so much more repsonce once it was fitted
