Looks mean thats for sure!

 

Though I've always been keen to know how a 1.5 sets of silver top 4AGE throttle bodies on a custom intake manifold would go.......

[zzzzed]

or a full set of gtr throttle bodies then you could use the gtr plenum, but it would have to be up side down

For that price, you could buy EFI HArdware TB's from Steve and get them alot sooner!

Agreed - funny that coming from the 2 guys with EFI Hardware kit I think EFI Hardware is a good value for money kit, it is locally made (supporting local business etc, and for me in NZ purchasing from AU is still supporting a local business if you ask me, hell I spend 30% of my work time working for AU )

 

The GTR thing is a good idea but I have a GTR head with all that kit and I have removed it for triple EFI Hardware DCOE setup. There a number of reason why but here a few

 

1. If the local race rule don't want me to run EFI not problem I can bolt up DCOE carbs

2. A result of the EFI Hardware DCOE the injector is relocated further away from the cylinder head = better for performance (not good for economy or emissions - like I care about that it is a sports car for god sake)

3. To be different (like a NA powered RB26 hybrid is not different enough)

4. My car I can do what I like 

 

I guess I could put down the cons now

1. extra $$

2. can't use the stock clutch cylinder that I could have if I stuck with the GTR setup - it fowls on the trumpets

3. extra $$

 

So back to the topic of the extruder body EFI setup - the same could apply a pro and con list.

 

Pro

1. ITB coolness

2. Already setup for you

3. Already setup for you....(I think of any more really)

 

Con

1. Cost - wow $1950 USD = $4000 NZD + shipping :'(

2. No injectors included  :'(

3. No trumpets  :'(

4. No Engine included for $1950 USD 

 

Hell I purchased my complete RB25/26 NA hybrid from Japan and this was complete ECU, GTR plenum and ITB, SS header/extractors, GTR injectors, 6 puck clutch and lightened flywheel, 5sp RB20DET box with close ratio gear set and quick shifter, Tomie metal head gasket, fully balanced bottom end, HKS adjustable cam gears, high lift HKS cams all for the same $$ ie 4000NZD. All I really needed to do was install the rear sump and pickup, modify the header slightly to fit in the S30 chassis and wire in the supplied harness (however this is not what I will be doing - as I already had the EFI Hardware DCOE and LINK ECU I am going to change things a little and it should make more power)

 

Anyway my point that is a lot of $$ for just the ITBs you still need ECU, injectors and if you want trumpets those too.

 

So if it was me - I would just purchase some new EFI Hardware DCOE ITB's mount on a L6 triple manifold and with the spare $$ vs this setup purchase the ECU, injectors and get it running
