So I want to update some of you on my build. It has taken sometime now to get the build moving because of the lack of parts. I initially hoped to have ordered all the parts when my car broke down, but discovered some lacking parts like bottom end gaskets. My mechanic took off the cylinders forgetting that I just had the head gasket kit and no bottom end gaskets!

So I think it will get done in two weeks time. Its like a daunting task already from the electrical side. Looking at the wiring harness supplied by Clewett makes me dizzy already.

I will be installing direct fire ignition so no more dual dizzy's for me.

As some of you may know, what started initially as a cam and chip mod ended up to this! My car broke down due to the wiring harness recall that the PO never did. That fried my ecu. So that gave me a reason, ha.ha.., to pursue this build. I dont intend to get mega hp from this setup, but more on the quality of the driving experience. I think the sound and the response will be good enough for me!

John D advised the cam for me. I wanted the most aggressive cam that the ITB could take. Since it will also be driven in the street, he advised the DC 43. Some tuners over here say I could have gone bigger, but I think I would trust John on this.

These are the parts going in.

I will update this thread once I get more updates. Just came from the shop and took some pics of the ITBs. Only one side was on! LOL...

But the ITBs are surely a work of art.

Oh, how I would love to have six of those little trumpets staring at me when I opened the engine lid!

camlob

Yeah its a sight to look at! I dont want to put aircleaners on. LOL. I wonder where Singer got those air cleaners on his 9M engine? Or rather where Colin got them.

Nickmysta

Sounds like a lot of fun!!

How high do you plan on revving the engine? How do you use this car? Daly driver, weekend toy or track?

Shahrams

Very nice!!!
Is it actually possible to keep the motronic and chane the mapping for the PMO ITB's?
Did anybody try that so far?

camlob

That cant be done. I asked Steve Weiner and he said it is not possible. The motronic is quite old in design and cannot keep up with the ITB setup.

Nickymysta - My car is not a dd but I use it like a dd. So I didnt want too an aggressive cam. Weekend fun runs with friends and the occassional trackday. I intend to increase my rev limit to 7k. I usually shift at 6.5k so the engine will not be too abused.

I want to start making it loose some weight so that will be my focus once this is done. Ill also get a guards lsd in the near future.

camlob

Just came back from the shop today and took some pics. The engine is mounted on the car. They still need to install the wiring harness, DFI's etc. We are scheduling next week to install the harness, then start tuning the car in the dyno.



I have to figure out a way to re-route the aircon hoses. It wrecks the view!

The red platform is where the DFI's will be mounted.









Beautiful red sparkplug wires!





My JIC is hiding from the viewfinder! Cant wait to try them.

Looking good, cannot wait to see the results.

camlob

Thanks Steven. You were one reason why I went with an aftermarket ecu Well that then led to the ITBs.

So sweet.

I think Emeralds old 95 with the 96+ AC hoses over the fan looked pretty clean.

BTW this picture made me wonder until I figured out what I was actually seeing.

camlob

Ha.ha...situational awareness! Nice up-to-date term! I like that....

BTW, thanks for the thread.

silverboy

Nice. Even 997 GT3 owners would drool.

Macca

Hi Camlob. Looking great! Rip that old engine sound pad out and replace it while your in there. Its cheap and the old one will just annoy you.....

Will stay tuned..
Cheers

camlob

Thanks M for the suggestion! Yeah overlooked it. The old one indeed is annoying.

Nickmysta

Camlob,

What are your expectations on the additional requirements / issues that the ITB could bring about? For instance, will you need to rev the engine for a little while before taking off on cold starts? Also, do they require frequent adjustments?

I am very anxious to see hear your impressions once the project is done!
