My 20v ITB installation

[Ian.G]

Well,

its been a while coming but a few of you were interested to see how my ITB installation was done.

Today I have ordered my new trumpets from T3 to replace what can only be described as *the mess* that was already bolted to them.

as they are right now



after removing the K&N filters you see this...



Look at the way those bell mouths have just been held in with high temp silicone seal !!! they are not even the right size for the 47mm inlets on the silvertop ITBS !!! and 2 of them are falling out. I can imagine that some of that silicone shit has been sucked into my engine which is not good !

Anyone want to hazard a guess as to which injectors these are - I am thinking they are std 4AGE blue top - which probably means they would struggle to provide enough fuel for my 'claimed' power output.

the trumpet plate

This is just a pure work of art LOL





Some nice accurate engineering and welding there

And the ITBs themselves.





Again - some bonding agent was holding the plate onto the bodies - but look at all the agent that is in the airflow !!! again my engine has probably been eating this stuff which is bad.

I'm not impressed by the dirty mess inside the ITBs - maybe its best to take the whole lot off and clean them up ?

These pictures also show you how the throttle linkage has been done.

Even one of my siamese cats laia admits they are are bodge job.



I now have to put all this *crap* back onto the car as the new trumpets wont be here for a week.

So - what do you guys think ? its pretty messy eh ?
