Ok I 've been thinking away about the ITB manifold for a while and I really like this idea ---

http://www.homemadeturbo.com/tech_projects/itb/

The only difference is I'll put a slight bend on the runners to angle them more upwards...

Opinions?

A comparison between a honda and a nissan is relevant to a bitsamissing conversion? Even for you cush, that's a long bow to draw.

it's relevant to this post..

4G92 MIVEC:

Type: Transverse in-line 4
Bore x Stroke: 81.0 x 77.5
Capacity: 1597cc
Valve Train: DOHC 16v with MIVEC
Compression Ratio: 11.0:1
Fuel System: (Mitsubishi) Multi-point Fuel Injection
Power: 172Hp at 7500rpm
Torque: 166Nm at 7000rpm

B16B Type R:
Displacement: 1595 cc
Compression: 10.8:1
Bore: 81mm
Stroke: 77mm
Rod/Stroke ratio: 1.84:1
Power: 185 hp (137 kW) @ 8200 rpm &
Torque: 118 ft·lbf (160 N·m) @ 7500 rpm

The MIVEC might lose out on horsepower, but it gains it in torque against the 'hot' B16.

It is 200cc smaller than the B18C, so that's an unfair comparison.

And the Nissan:
Displacement: 1.6 L (1596 cc)
Valve Timing: Nissan's Neo VVL variable valve timing with lift control.
Power: 175 PS (129 kW) @7800 rpm
Torque: 119 ft·lbf (161 Nm) @7200 rpm.
Redline is at 8300 rpm.

Once again, loses out on outright hp (just), but gains in torque. This motor is a fantastic swap for the Mini, and will make most of the forced induction lads blush!

Cheers,
Tricky

The TAROX Brakes are great - i'm running them without a servo and they're awesome. 'Only' 235mm though but i couldn't fit anything bigger inside the 13" rims. That 285mm kit has no hope.

I also don't like this part:
"THE WELDING AND FITTING OF THESE KITS MUST BE COMPLETED BY A COMPETENT PERSON" :shock:

Hey buddy,

I had a look through your thread and they look great! I'll be running a servo as well so they should be right :)

Yeah I didn't like the fact that you needed to strengthen the subframe for the suckers.. how much force are they expecting!? :shock:
