Did you test fit the itbs in the car with the s14 plenum? Just for clearance issues...
I can make some for you.

I tried earlier this yesr and it did not..it wad only a mock up with the original lower intake on, but it looked like the brake booster will in the way to clear the intake....
I have yet to figure out how to get around it. May be in the winder, when my e30 is parked and I can just take off the inteake many completely and try fitting things better.

All you need to remove is the tb and the upper intake manifold.. Just fit the itb to the lower intake for the time being. i see that you recessed the itbs into the lower intake manifold.. But that 1/2" or so wont be that much of a diff to get things figured out for spacing and a plenum placement/ design. And it will save you a little time and stress if you dont have another car to drive.

Im already thinking of another design...

so i did some touble shooting with my TPS issue...at first i thought i couldnt use the TPS that came with the itbs.. for 1 there was 2 tps one for the upper range and one for the lower range.. as i found from testing with the volt meter.

so began me buying 2 other tps that didnt end up working out.. and just as i was about to try something crazy.. i decided to try one of the gsx-r tps on its own not attatched to the itbs.... it showed full range.. but why... then looking at the tps further the way its designed to accept the butterfly rod uses tabs and not a slot.. so i was able to reposition the tps using the different tabs... tried it on the car.. and i have full range from .66v-4.06v same as stock tps. now i just have to find a way to secure it and adjust it if an when needed...

then i'll be back on the FG work... still shooting for the next autoslalom event to have it ready

[BMe30]

I had a little time this afternoon to start fg the trumpets inside the plenum...





Ive been pretty busy as of late with work... But got a lot of work done today... If i can get an evening in before saturday i'll be sitting pretty to finish saturday ( if i dont have to work) and will have it there for the autoslalom... Not tuned though. Also if im not working :s

We today is my 2yr anniversary... So what did i do as soon as i got home from work...

[BMe30]

And i sanded down those fittings in the itbs...



Wont have time tomorrow to work on it.. I hope on thurs night to start joining the 2 halves and clean up some little things that need sanding on the itbs. And set up the vac lines. Friday double check everything.. Saturday morning.. Install
