Hey all,

 

Anyone here running DBW on an RB26 ITB setup? Going to an ECU that supports this and would love to have it setup and running. The bosch units work excellently however they don't seem to do a 'lever' type unit, only a standard throttle blade type. I know BMW S54 uses a DBW motor with ITB's however haven't seen one personally and would be possible but probably a lot of dicking around. So if i can avoid that and there is any kit or even info on adapting it to suit RB26 that would be great.

 

Cheers

It would be about 3 minutes of a Project Binky episode to build a bracket and crank-linkage to mount the usual suspect so that it could drive the 26 lever.
The BMW S54 actuator is known for being kind of shit. Most people revert back to a cable throttle. Was hoping someone out there had found something similar but better. And yes fabricator could do it no sweat but if someone has designed a mount already it would be easy to just throw that in.
Jump on YouTube and look through the motive dvd workshop videos before last year's Cootamundra. One of the places adapted the bmw setup for rb26
It was Galvsport in WA and there is zero info out there on it.

Call Josh @ galvsport and see if he is interested in doing the same kit for you?

    • This sounds like someone who would have owned an R33 in their past... It's okay, I'm 100% picking up what you're putting down Mark.
    • Just back on what was raised about jacking off the the tow/tie down point on the front of cars. I've used it plenty. I've also watched it on a car where you could see it move the front end of the car. It was like the front end/whole car being tweaked and twisted a bit. I will say, I struggle to find good jacking points on MOST cars. The ones that have good points, I then normally struggle to find a jack tall enough to make the car change height!   One of my go to points for either the jack, or the axel stands though, is either a suspension pickup point, OR a subframe to chassis major bolting point. I actually think its the subframe on my R33 that has a bit of a bend in it, from being jacked in the middle too. However, it could have been one of my many other cars I've had over the years! Or it could also be the from me jacking it up, and the fact the top of the front radiator support isn't there, so it can allow the front of the car to move and bend etc.
    • My apologies. I forgot we were talking about weird beard M series stuff. Had been talking elsewhere with someone about an R33 with similar subject and got confused.
    • Nope, I don't like the look of ND RF, or any ND really, I don't like their faces or arses, why, because of their "modern" lines, the NC, whilst "modernish" has a more rounded shape that I like Well, that's how my overly judgemental eyes see it anyway  
    • Should be more than fine, especially the overall fuel pressure would never exceed 3.5bar (assuming that thing never gets more than 0.5bar of boost in stock form). According to the chart, it's 11amps.
