ITRCA

For a Turbo-charged R? As well as good Throttle Body?

What is your budget? There are several to choose from such as Full-Race, JG, etc.

budget is not an issue. performance is =)

Aside form the two mentioned you may want to look into the Endyn piece. Not the CF one but the newer design.

What *are* your goals, anyway? I've been happy with the OEM manifold. Is this a serious drag car or something?

I'd spend my money elsewhere, personally, on my turbo R.

Goals... Well ... um.. Speed.

Im thinking BBK 70mm Throttle body into BBK 70mm Intake Manifold.

Just wondering if there is anything bad I dont know about that. Like it Will kill the car or something.

Sleep1 - I'm afraid you are stepping into an interesting world. Your signature says 306hp untuned???

- why haven't you tuned it
- you must have $$ to burn
- what is the speed for? it doesn't appear you race
- The people responding to you are quality Type R experienced Race car drivers, mechanics, HPDE & even a solid turbo R (damn you Chris F!)

Anyway, good luck. The stock TB & intake should do just fine for even frequent drag stripping. If it's for groceries...well I won't say anymore.

Enjoy the site!

Bud...

I have a Hondata Ecu And when I went to the Race shop to have it tuned (Rpm NYC).. they couldnt tell what kind of injectors were in the car. They arent not stock and there is no type of marking on them. So we couldnt tune it if we dont know what kind of injectors are in the car. So we ordered RC 550's i believe. And it took this shop 2 months to get them in. ( Which is BS). Anyways I have to go all the way to queens to get these injectors put in and then we can tune it.

Also i had Iridium spark plugs in the car that made it break up on the dyno after 5500 rpm. And thats where the turbo kicks. So spark plug problem now fixed but I just have to make it out to queens one day soon and get my baby tuned.

Purpose of this car is racing. I have a brand new 2006 BMW X5 for the grocery shopping and conducting business. The type r is the hobby and weekend car.

Beautiful! I'm sorry for the headaches! So it's drag racing I presume?

btw - nice choice with the m5. We had one out at the track last month...I think it'll carry a bag or two from the store rather efficiently

Is it true what you said? I mean do turbos and superchargers really make any damage to engine? I heard nirous does but turbos.. never heard? Ohh and by the way is it a good thing to install bigger intake manifold with throttle body on N/A ITR, will it produce any significant hp/trq?
