you could always run the thing on flintstone power that would sort out your map sensor woes.

Or you could set it up and tune it off the tps only

"Some ITBS don’t use a map sensor because they have no way of reading vacuum from all 4 ITB’s this is where you need to tune a car from the TPS sensor only using a method of tuning called Alpha-N, which can also be used in combination with a atmospheric pressure sensor to detect how high or low you are above sea level" (stolen from a honda site)

but i've been doing a lot of reading and all the 4ag boys all seem to use tps vs rev tunning only and have no issues

you can also combo tune with tps ans map sensor, having a though map (manifold absolute pressure) sensor so if you running na with equal length runners ect would the absolute pressure be equal over each runner?? or could u feed a vacum line from each throttle body/intake into a big collecter then into map sensor would that equalise/adverage the map??

the reason people take the itb's off gtrs is because of how hard they are to tune with otherwise every car would have em if they were easy

Also just a thought without a manifold you would need a vac pump so feed for your brake master as you'd have no vacum to grab, and how do you go about ur idle control fuel pressure reg ect??

Heres a pic of an sr20 with itb's into a custom plenum which is your second idea, i think it will end up being the easiest/cheapest and if set-up probperly i dont think you would loose that much throttle response, also easier to set up some sorta cold air feed

This is what an engine should sound like toyota v8 with itbs ohh sounds soo hot

Here's a guide on how to build and set-up with lots of great info except about the map sensor set-up grrrrr

http://www.v8soarer.com/itb/index.shtml#Vacuum

ok think thats enought to think about for now, after spending the last half hour listening to itb set ups on Utube has convinced me next car even if its turbo is going to have some itb's set up sounds so hot

Adaptronic e420c ECU.

It runs either MAP, TPS or MAP crossed with TPS.

The mapxTPS is a special setup, first used on the 4AGE with the quad throttles.

There's issues with multi throttles and getting a good pressure source.

So Andy (Owner of Adaptronic) has a beautiful way to tune with MAPxTPS tuning.

Works beautiful for great power, insane throttle response, and economy!

I think Im going with a R33 intake manifold, adapter plate, RB26 itb's, runners (undecided length), bell mouths, maniflold type plate (with bell mouths nicly set in), and im thinking CARBON FIBER manifold and 4" intake pipe down to a Q45 afm (or 2 :D ) and massive pod in a cold air box. I think I will run individual vacume hoses to a colector to use for brake/fuel pressure, Im going to see how the gtr's get around this + idle. Im doing it on the cheep for now as I think me jobs going up the s#!tter :D .

No job = more tinker time in shed :laughing-smiley-014:

More tinker time in shed = less cash money for toys

Less cash money for toys = less things to tinker with in shed

Less things to tinker with in shed = god forbid :D more time spent with the misses (this has its good and bad points, lets not forget wink.wink)

More time spent with misses = will lead to arguments over unenployment

and it will just spiral down from there realy

Found a thort inspiring page in the states though http://www.rossmachineracing.com/intakepartspage.html filled my head with ideas

Insperation from BMW and honda

BMW ideas would be the way to go, start with the E46 M3.

the main hurdle isn't the components required, it's the tuning and like you said the runner lengths.

ideally you would initially get adjustable runners and spend hours on end on the dyno to get it right. then you would get the CF ones fabricated at the set length. however the minute you change timing, fuel mixture, tune, etc. the lengths may need to be changed again. each variable affects one another differently and each time you modify the 'optimal setting' shifts.

that said, you would only do that if you were chasing the last poof-teenth of a kilowatt. most people don't care.

    • Back again. I returned to Japan in Jul/Aug to spend time with the car on my birthday and remind myself what all the sacrifice and compromise is for. It happened to line up with the monthly morning meet in Okutama, which I have been wanting to go to for a long time. It's a unique event at a unique spot with really rare, interesting, and quirky cars. It's where all the oldheads and OGs gather. The nighttime scene at DKF certainly has its place and should be experienced if you're into cars, but there's too much bad attention and negativity around it now. IMO the better time is Sunday morning at DKF or Okutama; it's more chill and relaxed. I'm glad I was finally able to go, but not sure it's worth the drive from all the way from Nagoya immediately the day before, unless I was already staying in Tokyo for the days right before the meet, because you have to wake up quite early to make it in time. Funnily enough though I didn't drive the car all that much this trip because it was just too damn hot. While there were zero issues and running temps were nominal and the A/C was strong, RBs already run crazy hot as it is. Sure, it took it all like a champ but something about driving these cars in the ridiculous heat/humidity bothers me and makes me feel like I'm asking too much of it. I'm just me being weird and treating the car like a living thing with feelings; I'm mechanically sympathetic to a fault. Instead I was mainly driving something else around - a KX4(silver) 2001 X-Trail GT, that I acquired in May. There's a few different flavors to choose from with Xs, but visually it's the Nissan version of the Honda CR-V. Mechanically it's a whole different story as this, being the top-trim GT, has an SR20VET mated to a four-speed auto and full-time AWD! It was a very affordable buy in exceptional condition inside and out, with very low mileage...only 48k kms. Most likely it was owned by an older person who kept it garaged and well-maintained, so I'm really happy with how it all worked out. It literally needs zero attention at the moment, albeit except for some minor visual touch-ups. I wanted something quirky, interesting, and practical and for sure it handily delivers on all three of those aspects. I was immediately able to utilize the cargo and passenger capacity to its full extent. It's a lot of fun to drive and is quite punchy through 1st and 2nd. It's very unassuming -in the twisty bits it's a lot more composed than one would think at a glance- and it'll be even better once I get better tires on it(yes, it's an SUV but still a little boat-y for my liking). So...now I have two golden-era Nissans in silver. One sports car and one that does everything else; the perfect two-car solution I think👍 The rest of the trip...I was able to turn my stressed brain off and enjoy it, although I didn't quite get to do as much as I thought. I did some interesting things, met some interesting people, and happened into some interesting situations however, that's all for another post though only if people really want to know. Project-wise, I went back to Mine's again to discuss more plans and am hoping to wrap that up real soon; keep watching this space if that interests you. Additionally, while working in the tormenting sweatbox that is the warehouse, I was able to organize most of the myriad of parts that my friend is storing for me along with the cars, and the 34 has a nice little spot carved out for it: And since it can get so stupid hot in there, that made it all the more easy -after I was standing there looking at the car and said 'f**k it'- to finally remove all the damn gauges that have mostly been an eyesore all this time. Huzzah. The heat basically makes the adhesive backing on the gauge mounts more pliable to work with, so it was far less stressful getting this done. I didn't fully clean it up or chase the wiring though; that will happen once I have the car in closer possession. Another major reason to remove all that stuff is to give people less reasons to get in my car and steal s**t while it's being exported/imported when/if the time comes, which leads us to my next point... ...and that is even though it's time in Japan is technically almost up since it's a November car and the X would be coming in March, I'm still not entirely sure where my life and career is headed; I don't really know what the future looks like and where I'm going to end up. I feel there's a great deal of uncertainty with me and as a result of that, it feels like I'm at a crossroads moreso now than any point in my life thus far and there are some choices I need to make. Yes, I've had some years to consider things and prepare myself, however too much has happened in that time to maintain confidence and everything feels so up in the air; tenuous one might say. Simply put, there's just too much nonsense going on right now from multiple vectors. Admittedly, I'm struggling to stay in the game and keep my eyes on the prize. So much so in fact, that very recently I came the closest I ever have before to calling it quits outright; selling everything and moving on and not looking back. The astute among you will pick up on key subtext within this paragraph. In the meantime I've still managed to slowly acquire some final bits for the car, but it feels nice knowing there's not much left to get and I'm almost across that finish line; I have almost everything I'll ever want for my interpretation and expression on what it is I think an R34 should be. 'til later.
    • Thanks for that, hadn’t used my brain enough to think about that. 
    • Also playing with fire if they start to flow more air down low than what the stock twins can. It's not even up top you need to worry, it can be at 3000rpm and part throttle and it's getting way more flow than it should.
    • Any G40/1000 or G40/1250 results out there?  
    • You still want a proper tune on the stock ECU though. Stock tune + stock ECU with GT-SS/-9s is probably playing with fire if you're running more than stock airflow/power.
