You are probably the right guy to speak to about this... I wanna do a ITB conversion on my Z18XE and made a quick (uncompleted) list of what I think I might need. Here it is... - ITB's, looking at 20v BT one's - manifold - TPS - Fuel rail - Ram tubes - injectors - Plenum, is it necessary? - Management, head still turning on the topic of uni-q vs stand alone - any other parts that i missed? So yeah I wanna start on this project as soon as im done with exams, which is end of May, so wanna start sourcing some of the parts in the meantime. Plus if you know of good people who can help me fit it that would be great, since im ma only starting out now and dont have the technical know-how for such a project. Any help from your side would be greatly appreciated. Any1else welcome to throw their 2 cents in too

Lol if i had a 50c for each topìc stating Att tauzty il be a rch man nw :-). Black top itbs is scarce as that 4age motor îs imported. U can find silver top itbs which im runnin they 45mm at the mouth and taper to 43mm at the butterfly. U cn find a set for R1500 to 2k. I would rather go stand alone,as there more tuners able to tune it. . Rolly stanton at motodrive sells ecotec itb intakes. Stick to open air for nw just get a decent set of ram tubes like 70mm length minimum. Dave ingle sells R700 set. Injectors 16v injectors are fine. .

Thanx man pity its in jhb, im little cautious of buying things I cant inspect personally, dont know who to trust these days, so will try around here in cpt in the meanwhile. R2200 is way more than what i planned to pay for manifold Dictator is also good, was considering getting it from ferroli here in cpt, but the Mini x will do. Have you started with the build yet?

Ya i phoned warren.. said i need to send him my standard lower inlet with fuel rail/ and injectors and would convert that one for R1600..
R1200 would of been better...
What are rowlands manifolds like? reason i ask i dnt wanna destroy my standard intake.. so to buy another one to get cut is gonna be like 650.. then 1600 to get it converted.. 2250 doesnt make scence to me!
Thundercat, havent started yet. Got my silvertop's and my dicktator.. still got to get manifold and maybe cams.. need to port my head sometime aswell...
