Thanks Jordan! There's a flat metal sheet covers that area because the fuse box is under it. However, there is a hose from the fog into a trumpet recessed on the sheet to feed in cold air. Should really take a pic of it sometime...

HAha I know! There was a skyline in that convoy too, yet he didn't get any pics! Thanks Ethan :)

It's been a while since any updates. I've been flat out with exams. Finally have a bit of time about me so I tried these again today!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cYLKzQzh ... e=youtu.be

Since last time several important changes:

-Jenvey linkage between the two banks, £130+ odd of precision engineering... ouch but made all the difference
-Adjusted the spacing so they are more perfectly inline
-gave the return springs an extra wrap to snap back down more firmly
-flattened down the flanges to seal better
-opted to use the thermoblok spacers to give more room and a longer intake tract.

You can see they're idling a LOT better. Currently my carPC has been crashing a lot so I can't try and tune until I sort that :(

Despite the great sound,how much gain you think you get from these Itbs?And without an air filter isn't a little danger too?

he's only running it without filters because he's only getting it to idle and not driving around, i'm sure if he was gonna drive around he'd put some filters on

That motor is disgustingly clean :freak:
The Surgeon General I'm sure wouldn't mind it sitting in an operating room somewhere. Congrats on the build!
