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.

    • That's the thing. Especially at idle, changing the cam angle by that much could be spewing more fuel out the exhaust courtesy of everything happening that bit later. More fuel also means more air (if the fuel didn't burn, then neither did the O2) and so the O2 sensors can start to tell interesting but misleading stories. And the specifics of what is happening could easily be affected by everything else you changed as well. And it could be dynamic, where a few revs more or less could somewhat change how the engine is breathing.
    • Good idea on the temp probe. The mv readings of the O2 sensors are very similar to one another, as is the injector pw. I went through logs in the past to see if there was a discrepancy and there is. Because they alternate up and down as narrowbands do.. they do often 'switch' as to which one is more. They were never 20%+ (more like 1-2%) so it's possible the difference between 20 and 15-17% is a similar discrepancy to 2.0% and 1.7% which I wouldn't have really noticed in the past. We did think about spacing the strut brace. Unfortunately the ~20mm that the GTR brace is lower than the GTT brace is effectively what you need to clear the vents. Moving it up would make it very uncomfortable, but it's plausible that 10mm is a unhappy medium between both hard places... The good news is.. using MR HAMMER it was actually pretty easy to bend back the bent bits to make sure the guard and headlight/new headlight tabs line up right. Yes, we used a R34 GTR guard to make sure the bolt holes all lined up with a known straight guard. As above, you can see the side skirt and the GTR guard are not meant to play together, but everyone seems to think this is a simple fix to the point where nobody who has had these talk to one another mentions how... ...so I'll just assume they know how to fix it when it comes to paint jail time again. Whoever they are. Nobody returns my calls. There's so much changed with regard to the ECU and the car.. that the next step really is to connect the scanner and attempt to drive the thing. It'll be pretty clear pretty fast how in or out everything actually is...
    • That's nasty! I think there is perhaps an inherent problem is using elastomers in such environments. The whole thing can and will get quite hot, and elastomers are not famous for their temperature resistance. On top of that, if the components are cast rubber or urethane and so on, there might be QA/QC problems with bubbles or voids in the material that could critically change their performance. They might just tear apart after being squished (presuming that any elastomers are used in compression rather than tension, I'm thinking that you squeeze one with a void in it and it tears the wall of the void to the outer edge of block, then the next time it extends or otherwise twists, it just gives up). This is all purely hypothetical, but it makes me wonder if the things that they have put into it to make it nice to use/live with are perhaps going to cause occasional failures like this. I wouldn't be getting up in arms over it, unless there are many repeats. I have personally ruined an Xtreme clutch - just an HD thing. I can't remember if it was still behind the 20 or was after the 25 went in. But it inverted some of the retaining spring/clip things around the outside. No-one could explain it. It wasn't thrashed, there wasn't heaps of torque being put through it, and there were no obvious problems other than the above. They were quite concerned by the event so they replaced it even though it was a few years old, which was very nice of them. As far as I am concerned, these things happen with clutches.
    • Any damage to the box/input shaft?
    • Hey there Mate , I just got my local guy to install it Waterhouse Performance, Penrith (specialise Nissan/Datsun and other performance cars) , you can do it yourself if you like , AMS has instructions on their website.  Cheers Pac
