See if you can blind mount the top face of the butterfly, get rid of the top mounting bar and countersink the screws into the butterfly. You will get a noticeable improvement in flow through the body.

The Mivec boys have done it a couple times on their 60mm throttle body (single) and it gives the same flow performance as the bored out 63mm throttle body (single) that they where doing as a modification.

This is what i'm refering to:

hmmmm seems like a good idea but if it was that great a deal im sure bmw would have done it?.....would probably do it if it was single tb. will have a look at it though

update. oil filter housing shortend 22mm so now takes m42 oil filter cartridge, hope to start wiring this weekend

[Guest Simon*]

Good caesarean scar across that housing

Result though. Nice project

[kerry 10]

scared for life now simon. gave it a clean this morning ready for wiring

[kerry 10]

this is the part that confuses me

[MLM 57]

Awesome project, go the N/A power!

A couple of questions for ya,

Does the M42 oil filter element provide enough volumetric oil flow for your engine? This will be difficult to measure I guess as I dont know how the system is laid out. Oil pressure before the filter might not indicate enough flow flow through the filter? Plenty of pressure after the filter would indicate things are all well? just some random thoughts

Also what ignition system are you using? wasted spark/individual, and what are you using for igniters?

Again awesome project

[kerry 10]

thanks man..

its not a big difference between the 2 filters (only height) so im not to worried as long as the pressure remains the same which im sure it will . im going to be running 1 6 channel igniter off a 300zx and im guessing that is individual spark over waisted which im told is better and easyer so fingers crossed this weekend will bring more photos for ya.

F**k. That.

[kerry 10]

thats what im thinking every time i look at the peice

[kerry 10]

if any one wants m3 evo intake runners and plenum im not using it now as it wont fit without further mods so they will be for sale

[hybrid 1043]

how much for the intake plenium and runners ... would look mint on my e46... swaps ?

[Apex Effects 3]

so whats the plan? just link now?

make me an offer i cant refuse josh

so whats the plan? just link now?

im still keeping the itb's just have no room for the plenum etc and i dont want to move my brake booster from its original location to make it fit.

[*Glenn* 854]

Can't you modify the plenum to fit Kerry ? or are you going to have one custom made from carbon fibre ?

[kerry 10]

i could but i feel it would better someone else as opposed to me hacking it up.. at this stage i just have some socks for the tapered stacks ive had made , will make me a plenum later on as this project is sucking me dry

[mark247 39]

What did you drill all the holes in the plastic cover for?
