alright let's get this discussion underway.

ITB throttle bodies + custom adapter plate + custom trumpets.

pros?

- increased power

- increased response

- the sound!

- watching the butterflies open and close :D

cons?

- cost. i have no idea, but judging by the costs of rb26 throttle bodies, and the cost of relocating a few things, custom bits and pieces (1-1.5k ??).

- r&d required for tuned length intake runners (adjustable runners?) narrow power band.

some other things to bring up:

- cheaper to use RB26 throttles or buy some pre-fabricated ones?

- legalities?

- adapt small pod filters onto the end of each.

- anyone who is (knows of someone) who is cluey with ITBs? mainly hondas, mini, porsche, and old school nissan owners with some know how.

R.I.P.S in new zealand makes adaptors for rb26 throttle bodys to rb25 heads. if rb26 ones are hard to find use some 4age throttles. sure you will need 2 sets but they will still work but thats alot more custom parts though... they make small air filters to fit on ITBs

you would be lucky to find a direct fit kit as nobody really makes performance parts for NA skylines. i havnt even seen an after market intake pipe...

It's not the first question? Or it's not in a 33? :huh:

the later, its an R32 - the headlight and grill are a dead giveaway.

agree. worked NA skylines is hardly widespread in japan let alone anywhere else.

any idea on the cost of these adaptors Geoff? might be a cheap alternative to using an RB26 head.

if you were going to do this you'd need to go all out.

forged high comp pistons, lighter rods, balanced bottom end with around 11.5:1 Comp ratio, some nice meaty cams, maybe 288's or something around that with a shortish duriation but high lift. basically want to make the bottom end hold together and swing to around 10,000 rpm.

defo use a plate and use the RB26 ITB's, make some nice and long intake trumpets, big air box feeding air direct to all of them.

and then put it in something light...

those of you who frequent these formus will remember not to long ago i did a write up on my car well i've changed direction and kept it rb25 and gone hi compression.

looking at anywhere from 11.5:1 to 12:1. did alot of work to the head including lifting all the buckets getting all the valves reseated and 5 angel cut ( takes a long time is expensive but its the best!!) new valve springs and of course a port and polish. getting the intake polished and the manifold double split. getting the whole lot balenced before she goes back on to. slotted in new fuel rail to support 440 injectors. big cams, cam gears blah blah blah.

forgotten a few things im sure but you get the idea. After many weeks and many long hours i get her back this week and put it back on this weekend. so if anyone is after figures i'll have them next week after she goes to the tune shop.

as for ITB's i did alot of research on cost gains everything and they just not worth it. the gains you get can be gotten elsewhere for much cheaper and its nothing you can't tune around if you have a good computer and a tuner who knows what their doing. that being said the sound and look is unbeatable.

Do not use mini pod filters or socks to filter your throttles.....this completey wrecks the point of having a trumpet on there as it create far to much disturbance in the air flow as it try to pass over the trumpets completey wrecking there use.

There is a certin filter used by club cars and bikes which was invented in UK and are now made in Australia also. It other full filtering but with zero restiction.

When i had my hachi i spoke to a guy in UK who builds race engine which have quad throttle bodies and he has had gains of up to 30hp by just pulling off the sock filters and using these special made items along with a good setup.

I would make a base plate that sat on the lip that rolls back over the outside of the trumpet so it has more volume area to suck from and have one big single filter over the whole set of throttles making sure you give atleast 2cm of gap from filter to the ends of each trumpet. The filter is not like ur pod filter type it more like a long bubble looking filter thats made of 3 different filter materials.

If you need more info about these special filters that other full flow and zero restriction hit me PM and i can try to find his email address.

But when it comes to NA you want to try and get every extra HP you can and use your main source of air flow to its max potential.

um from memory it was about $500 witch to me seemed expencive.. but then it means it would fit well.

a super high powerd na car would be almost undrivable on the street i recken.

im aiming for about 150kw witch i have reciently found out is quite easily achievable with my rb30de.

      You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.

      R32 gtr transmission strength, billet plate

      By cosline · Posted

      Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik

      Spotted on the street....

      By Rezz · Posted

      Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
