Rb30e Itb Set-up.

[scandyflick]

did a quick search (through N/A perf.), and i couldnt really find what i was looking for.

just been toying with the idea of an N/A RB30 powered skyline, possibly using a GTR throttle set-up.

feel free to call me a dreamer, as realistically, its going to be a bit before i can get it started.

but with that out of the way, does anyone know what would be involved in converting an RB30 to an ITB setup?

i remember seeing something about an adaptor plate quite some time ago, but i cant even recall who made them, let alone whether or not they'd suit an RB30.

for what im thinking the AFM would need to be deleted, so what ECU would you recomend to run it?

would i be able to get away with using a remap or piggy back? or would i need a programable unit?

what cam would you recomend? possibly a GTS cam?

so yeah, theres a few little questions, anything else you guys can think of/correct me on/flame me for?

thanks in advance guys.

I can get you an adaptor plate so that the GTR Throttles will bolt STRAIGHT up no messing around for around $700 delivered to your door.

Your looking at around another 150 - 250 for ITB's off the GTR, and then another 300ish to have trumpets made up if thats the way you wanted to go

Can supply all of the above and organise quotes if your genuinely interested, have done this to another mates RB30E for shits n giggles with bits n pieces we had lieing around. Induction noise is so hot, and he reckons it makes a big difference to the way the car drives... I couldnt really comment having never driven it though.

PS. Deleting the AFM means you will need an ECU that supports MAP tuning im not too sure on whats available for RB30's though.

may have to get back to ya on that one.

but as i said, its still a while off, thats if i decide to go through with it anyways.

for now im just getting an idea of what id need if i do it.

yeah, thats another issue im somewhat unsure of, im wondering if theres a piggy-back out there that would be able to handle, for the most part, the engine will be stock, the exception being the ITB's, extractors/exhaust and possibly a cam if the stocker isnt suitable. so a fully programmable, all the bells and whistles ECU seems a bit much.

Off the top of my head try ChipTorque in Nerang, QLD, pretty sure they offer a piggy back that might suit and save you some bucks on aftermarket management.

I'll try n get some pics of the adaptor I have at the moment (for an RB25 but gives you an idea) tonight if i can get a hold of the camera.

that would be sooo cool.. please please please do it... but if you do please do a twin cam conversion while your at it.

i think hks do an ITB and trumpet set up its purple and shiny

ecu wise, i think you might want to look into a power fc d-jetro

ive been looking at this also

their are two ways for compinsating for no afm

you could use a map sensor or you could also use a Throttle position sensor

throttle position sensor would be more expensive but easier to adapt.

where would you be taking the reading for the map sensor??

[andylaurel]

speaking from experience, MAP sensors find it hard to get a good solid reading at idle due to the lack of plenum associated with ITB's...

it is therefore a good idea to run a TPS based map only.

I suggest a microleb cough microtech
