So as the title suggests I'm working on get and ITB setup going. I have an extra UIM laying around and was wondering if I could just unbolt the dynamic chamber and use the rest of it as my pipes.
Would I be better off just bending my own pipes and fabbing up a mounting bracket for it? Or does anyone think it will work alright?

 

Are you still using the 5th and 6th port acctuators if so then fab a plate to bot to the lower intake manifold and bend short individual tubes then mount the ITBs.

If you have the 5th and 6th ports wired open then fab a plate where your LIM mounts to the block and bend short tubes to the top of the block and mount your ITBs. I had a friend do it this way and make a box around the velocity stacks and put seal on top with a turbo II hood scoop.

 

Yeah I still plan on using the 6th ports. Haven't decided completely as I'm not sure if I could overcome the difference in driveability on the street with the megasquirt setup I'm installing.
IIRC wiring the ports open makes your low end kinda suck right? (on a stock motor with stock ecu)...so I shooould be able to make a fuel map that compensates for that....right?

 

it will still be kind of boggy but you can but you won't have that surge at 3000 rpm the power will ramp up smoothly

 

You lose torque due to decrease intake velocity.

No, you can't. Not fully. It has to do with intake air velocity rather than fuel.

Lame...well alright that's very good to know. I think I'll just keep them operating as they should
