Home brew ITBs

Recommended Posts

Hi Guys, 

I’ve been building a new GTI6 race engine. Started out using the original single TB alu lump inlet manifold. Sounded and performed ok on the rollers. However something went wrong- engine out! On that same day an ex. DTC s2000 306gti6 (same as BTCC) was due to be rolled as well. The engine had ITBs - so the journey begins.

Some years ago I bought some ITB from a 4-age Toyota Blacktop engine. In the storrage I also had an old Mi16 inlet manifold.

Started out cleaning the ITBs. Tootbrush and oven cleaner.

Next I made the mounting plate for the ITBs. This was a lot of work. Meassuring, drilling and cutting. At the same time I Cut the Mi16 manifold.

Next up was preparing for the mounting plate to be welded on to the Cut manifold - welding, painting and mounting the ITBs

 Putting it together. 
Also I needed to make a ToyPeu throttle cable bracket. It fits the holes on the ITBs and uses the Mi 16 throttle cable.

Many years ago I bought an Air box from another gtidriver. The airbox was made to fit Webers- Cut out the back plate and made a new one to fit the new ITB setup. 
Also needed to fit the Peugeot Air temp

Sourced a connector to the TPS. The local Toyota dealership parts guy loved sourcing something special. He had to go into old books (real papir books!) to find the right part.

A very Nice winter project. Looking forward to hear the ITBs roar. Engine is soon going back in. 
 

Cheers

Love your work. Although I think you need more AC balance in order to deepen the penetration on that fillet weld! I've done exactly the same with two Nissan R32 TB's and an Mi16 manifold.

Looks great. We had a similar setup on my mate and I mi16 track car. A trip into the tyre wall smashed them to bits along with scrapping the shell ☹️

Thanks guys. 
@peter How much did you gain with the ITBs? Are the Nissan ones also 45 mm?

Ours made 177bhp and 145ftlb. My mate Phil was mega pissed off as he put loads of work into it all, second set of injectors in the bellmouths etc

It made 170bhp before we touched it.

No idea! They're still sitting on bench. A set of 48mm EFI Hardware TB's came up at a price I couldn't refuse. When did you buy your trumpets from?

Oulton Park I think, but yes he was an extra grumpy ginger man, he put a lot of work in.

complete install done. Borrowed a freinds lift and crane- I’m getting too old for crawling around on the floor.
