I need help with my Dbilas Itb installation.

Which the connector is that pictured a long hose on the intake manifold?
It only goes to 4th sylinder.

Should go to the brake booster for vacuum assist.

I plan on loving my Dbilas ITB's too! Mine are the same that Janne has. The Dbilas logo is on the bottom!! Weird....

I plan on running MSII on mine.

I first try that Dbilas chip that came with the package and wideband-lambda.

But i have "shrick" cams too, so i have to get mega etc. later.

That is weird. Mine is only embossed on one side and it's the wrong side.LOL
Leaves plenty of room for a decal.

dbilas and shrick cams... that's an expensive setup, but i'm sure it will be fun. i keep thinking of getting a set of regrinds for mine, but i'm already most of the way to having the turbo setup collected and i kinda have to pick one or the other.

make sure you look into the VW hydraulic lifters when you do the cams; search for posts by "1991 E30 M42" about them- both cheaper and lighter than the factory BMW parts.

I am so ready to run my ITB's on my new motor. I just received a file for the Megasquirt so I have a start up map:-) Thanks Todd!

I too have regrinds that are a little more aggressive than Schricks but very similar. Should make some good power and torque.

Maybe we can make a list of all the cam people that are reputable and price worthy in the US to get some regrinds done? I know of a couple from my research when I did my cams, but am always interested in who has what, when I'm ready to an upgrade for more power. Some are really expensive and some are ridiculously inexpensive.

We should probably start another thread for that one.

My "shrick" cams are regrinded too.

When you get the car driving, please send videos here:cool:
I want to hear that Itb sound!

like i said i'm only running stock cams on mine, but it sounds like it's cammed-out. a little bit of lope to the idle, and one friend always comments on how he loves the sound when i pull up to his house or shop.

my phone is old, so i can't do video. but trust me, you'll enjoy it. in fact, why don't you have it running already? only took me an afternoon

I have to do "year inspection" and emission test next month, im not sure is that itb legal in my car beacause i have e36 and it is low-emission. I dont have the dbilas-chip yet (maybe it come next week) and Afm-meter must be installed first.
