Yeah it has from what i can see. That's what i said about 8 posts ago lol.
Lovely engine bay mate, looks like its been done well, got rid of the wasted spark, external wastegate, im impressed.
Big question, does the screamer exit the car, or back into the exhaust  lol

The DP inlet doesnt use individual butterflys like bodies though. Its a metal inlet with 4 inlets much like a std inlet manifold

ford tuners do tend to run them more, guess thats why they took on sybez and the charged and bodies route. Everyone knows how often that ran

Oh and that s15 is god damn gorgeous! |
I think the Nissan Pulsar GTR runs ITBs and a turbo as o/e
Found a video of an 240RS with Pulsar Grp A ITBs on. Impressive throttle responce and the boost climbs nice an quick!

It seems a few people with the SR20 engines use iTB's as well as a turbo. in my opinion you simply get teh best of both worlds.
And the noise, OH YEAH!

You mean locating them in the engine bay? Or actually finding the parts?

unfortunately it was found for the saxo engine, that running anything greater than 40mm t/b's let in far too much air even on very slight throttle.
of course it could probably be achieved by using smaller diameter bodies, but then you've wasted 500 quid on the bodies, then linkage, then manifold, then plenum.
so its over a grand which could easily be spent on a better turbo/pistons/rods.

They are quite small engines, and i can see you point. On something like the sr20 or 3sgte, this is less on an issue.

obviously if you could get the pivot to not open the throttle as much on part throttle, it wouldnt be so much of an issue.
but the money could still be better spent elsewhere imo
