Dbilas ITB's installed

[DutchM42]

After sitting in the garage for a year or so we finally resurrected the 318is of a friend of mine. The reason ? Some ITB's where waiting to get installed.









Also installed the Dbilas airbox. The plenum is not identical to the one made for the E36. There is a little more space to clear the brakebooster.

When finished we had to do a soundcheck

Next step is the MAF-delete and getting Alpha-N running.

congratulate your friend on joining the ITB club for me

it is nice how easy they are to install, isn't it?

mine didn't come with that nifty airbox top, but i just got gifted an AFM adapter, so i think i'm putting on my K&N again tomorrow.

are you going to do MAS or MAP with megasquirt or diff standalone?

[trackjunkie21]

I'm in love, how much did your setup run you?

[max123]

Did you have trouble with the ABS, as it looks like the air intake is right where the control box is located?

Also, I second - very cool.  Can the Dbilas setup run on the stock ecu - ie compatible with throttle position sensor and fuel injection?  Also, what is the power like?

yes, that's how i'm running it- motronic 1.3 with a markd chip. the stock TPS bolts onto a spot on the end of the throttle shaft.

as far as the power goes, it shifts the band upward kinda like a hotter cam does... i'm still running the stock cams, but the engine is strongest from 4K to 7K now.

this is my car and itb`s

we just wanted to try-fit it before taken the complete engine apart..

installing is not the most difficul thing to do, you only have to understand wich is doing what...

as a matter of fact, this complete intake is less troublesome to take apart than original..

Alpha-N is laying ready for build-in.. but that will be the last phase..
first the engine is going apart..
this probably will also take a year or so.. right now I am very busy taking my engine from my 325i conv apart... also going on itb`s:D

In this e30 I do not have abs... indeed the flowmaster will sit on top of the abs-unit, wich is not very easy to make a nice fit....

but with the loss of the airflowmeter, you won`t be needing it... just some panty`s over the itb`s :p

yeah, i thought the same thing. i was amazed how easy the install went.

congrats... what are the plans for the engine itself?

[Flexz]

btw.. it runs on stock ecu... this one runs on a cheap ebay-chip.. but also runs..

idle isn`t what you want it to be.. but with the itb`s you kinda set the idle on the itb`s (by setting them a little bit `open`)

real profit in the power departement isn`t realy the case..
manely because it hasen`t been chipped after the build-up..

but the whole engine is going apart.. so chipping it now is like taking a whore fishing:p
might be fun, but not what you wanted to...

[Flexz]

also my opinion... from 5k up it feels alive... underneath it dousn`t feel at all:p

plans with engine:

work on the cil. head.. (flowen)
pressiure valve system gone... mech valve system in...(higher revs!)
about 290 cams..

bore same, but 1.9 krank...

than after fitting itb`s and alpha-n it must run about 8300 revs.. and app. 200/210 hp

Nice work - if you don't mind me asking what did the setup cost and where did you source it?

[Janne]

Does your car" whoosh" like it has turbo and blow of valve, on hard pull after 5000-7000rpm when you shift gear?

My e36is does it with Dbilas itb`s and thats sounds very hilarious:cool:
