One for the 8v owners - ITBs any interest - poss 16v to now

  1. #1
    This is just a totally hypothetical thing at the moment, so let me put a few things straight now this kit won't be on sandy brown levels of awesome but will still be a decent kit that should give some nice gains (depending on other mods).

    But if there was a kit that would be plug and play using all oem sensors and would run fine would there be any interest from any of you in a kit?
  2. #2
    If i still had the saxo then yes, very much so
  3. #3
    So we are talking a budget bolt on itb ?
    What price ( roughley )
    All 8v engines or only vtr ect ?
    And you should think about a fitting service
    Maybe even whilst you wait fitting service

    1) yes
    2) tba within next few weeks will be cheaper than whats out there
    3) all early port spacing 8vs but the later ones could easily make it for them to
    4) all being well with how testing goes on mine yes
    5) as per q4 possible if all goes well
  5. #5
    yes definitely especially if it works with the late vtr head (2000 onwards) and if the gains are good.
    and will it need remapping? im guessing so

    I would also be interested in seeing what you have planned, something different and within decent value for money range is always welcome

    Is this the kit where you are using Monster energy cans as the trumpets?

    out of interest in terms of price what would people be looking to pay for a complete pnp kit?
  12. #12
    im very interested if it would fit a late 01- vtr, and as a bolt on kit with everything you need other than mapping makes it nice and easy to fit

    All depends what's used, potential gains, and so on as if its a garage hack with reasonable gains I'd still probably steer clear but if its good kit with well made parts then obviously it'll be worth more
  15. #15
    If it was good gains and cheap enough I would be interested at some point next year.

    we have alwqays made a cast inlet manifold for the black top head which comes with flanges big enough to fit any type of t/body and is downdraft so it allows long induction tract.
    this manifold does not fit the later type heads as port spacing is different
    http://www.gmcmotorsport.co.uk/engin.../prod_536.html
    I will even give a 20% discount while stocks last

    Good price

    OP: Yes definately, price and quality dependant, and whether it will fit on anything other than a vtr lump. Both my running 106 and saxo are 1.4 8v's so I'd be looking to fit it to something like those. My sister also has a 1.1 8v which she wants a little more go from.
  19. #19
    it will fit all 8v heads that have same port spacing as the blck top engine
    if you were going to tune the later type engine to any degree you would need to fit black top springs and caps anyway + any major cam change you would be better with nono roller type rovker gear ,so if doing serious mods the black top head is a better thing to start with
    as for quality --there are purpose made castings with thick flanges so no worries about quality --

    Very interesting.

    So a bolt on Throttle Body for 8v's? Would you supply everything?

    If people have had itb on any 8v's, then what power gains did you make?

    I have used that setup from GMC in the past and it does work extremely well. If I was still racing id probably still be using it.

    I'd definitely be interested. Especially if it's plug and play. Saves so much hassle.

    nope i only have inlet manifolds --I am noti n the right place to find s/h t/bodies

    8v ITB inlet & vacuum/sensor chamber has been made. Just sorting out tps adapter not to much to finish off now before the initial stage of bolt on testing starts

    Very interested to see how the testing goes. Definitely something i would consider next year!
  31. #31
    you can do it, you can make the british isles a noisier place!
  32. #32
    Few updates -

    The version 1 inlet manifold needs changed slightly so the bodies point more towards the scuttle and not the break bar ala atpower style, plus with that in mind will solve the issue of the engine mount stud. The Vacuum chamber box is doing its job bit heavy duty at the moment slightly revisions to this aswell to help with positioning of sensors etc.

    Small test drive on a totally bog standard engine no mods at all it pulls harder pretty smooth very responsive and nice & loud Standard sensors easily adapted and work well once tps has been setup, pretty confident any bodies can be used but I think when time comes will be using gsxr as ones but will decide once I have sorted everything on this. AFR readings are pretty much spot on from the idle and small road tests so it's looking pretty decent

    As there will be plenty of testing before I finalise the "kit" but the first initial lot will be for silvertop engines as getting everything setup on these is much easier and less work. Kits for blacktop engines will be available but will require more work due to the different sensor setup so will need some additions to the vacuum chamber to accommodate this

    There will also be 16v kits somewhere along the lines but that won't be until next year sometime as would require a vts or gti to be purchased. As for price this will be finalised once all revisions have been done as will pics , what I need to know is that anyone who is actually seriously interested what engines are you running?

    its will all run no worries but going to be on hold for a bit as need to get car motd which is costing a load of money due to beam wheel bearing plus other stuff car may be sornd and off road but that wont stop me from actually getting it finished

    Can you go into detail about what the kit consists of?
    Do you get throttle bodies, manifold, sensor adapters, throttle cable set up and so on and so fourth

    tbh azza with the kit I'm going to pretty much flexible at the moment as to what people what really.

    Main things to come with the kit is the inlet, the vacuum chamber with appropriate mods to run oem sensors the bodies, trumpets, tb cable, brake servo line etc can be sourced sep but happy to supply.

    Really need an idea as to what people are running engine wise so I can do a proper list of parts for each with price etc

    so when the time comes its just best to phone you to discuss what you need and what not

    and what do you need to know about what engines we're running? ill happily share some info if you let me know what info you need

    don't need to know engine specifics azza all I need to know is what engine people are running black top silver top single plug 3 plug etc as that will pretty much dictate what kit comes first

    when time comes for the actual kit the base of it all will be inlet, vacuum chamber & fittings for vac lines. Other parts like bodies, trumpets, tb cable can be provided but this stuff generally people will want different things/solutions. As said at the moment its more proving the concept works can do the miles etc once thats been done it can be put out to people.

    Not just going to let any old stuff go out

    If he is its a bad idea and does not work correctly with anything other than std or very mild cam --if it works then no real need for multiple t/bodies
    the whole point of ITBS is to seperate the induction pulses to make lower end of rpm range work well .
    If you wish to use a map sensor ,which is not the ideal way ,then connect to just one t/body ,but the downside is the total vac from this is so small it still is not a good idea .
    you need a very stable vac of at least 400mbs to get a good map signal
    std car will have 5-600mbs of vac,this is why when you fit sports cam with std ecu the idle goes to lumpy as the vac signal is not stable and or not big enough

    t/bodies need to be run rpm /tps for load ,so your choices are remap from chip wizard or a predator(plug+ play) or any other stand alone ecu

    price haven't decided on as it's been a pita so far but if I was to supply everything you would probably be looking at around 4-500 but if you sourced your own bodies, trumpets and vacuum line then it would be much less. People need to decide if they want to source certain bits themselves

    What sort of bhp gain would you get from these? I'm really interested at that price and would love the noise lol but bhp would be better haha

    Its dependant on spec really... You can as said previously have no extra work done and bolt them on with a map... And maybe 5-10bhp? With headwork cams, exhaust... 25-30bhp? Fuel consumption will suffer, but generally like for like driving it wont be bad at all... The common problem is that you nail it everywhere for the noise... Then fuel will suffer...

    Hmm will it run ok unmapped for a while? If I got a cam for my vtr with 4-2-1 and mani back, I could aim for anywhere between 110-130ish bhp?

    I just want the sound and experience lol
  99. #99
    Basically... No... It will generally need aftermarket management... It is worth every penny though... And to do it properly yeah you should be about 125-130bhp maybe a touch over...

    Throttle bodies are more to do with maximising the mid range rather than top end. Most cars gain only about 10 bhp on a standard engine at peak but usually are significantly faster cars than standard

    monka it totally depends if you want a full bolt on or happy to source some bits yourself like the bodies for example? I'm going to have the first full kit in next 2 weeks to show what it will be like so people can make their minds up properly, price will be slightly higher than prev mentioned but the inlets all be made in aluminium rather than mild steel.

    Must stress that this thread is to see if there is genuine interest in something like this as people have asked in the past but either nothings been done or been put off having to source bits
