efi Obx Individual Throttle Bodies

[Tiger75]

Anyone used or seen an OBX ITB.

Can't find much info on them

I also need an airbox for them.

Any ideas?

[AceAndrew]

Approach with caution and weigh your options.  Personally I'd go with something a bit nicer (Jenvey, extrudabody, or the like).

Try looking up dBilas. Their ITBs come with an airbox, and are of high quality. I have them on my car, but I sold the air box. I run traditional DCOE Ramflo filters.

I think dBilas ITBs for the M10 are for E30s, but with a little bit of moving things around, the work on the 2002.

obx doesnt really make a ITB suitable for m10 2002's for example dcoe type not available TWM is what you want made in USA. jenvey is pretty awesome as well but made by wankers in england.

TWM is now Borla Induction.

you can get the M10 kit from Level X Motorpsports for $1239 + ~$25 shipping... still made by wankers though

Regardless of their masturbatory habits, Jenvey makes some slick hardware, but I am biased in more ways than one.

Are those audi coilpacks your running? what efi system do you have?

[stuff]

inkinf - yep, VAG COPs. I use Megasquirt for fuel & spark. I have burned up a couple of the coils despite them being the right part number (revision) according to the megasquirt docs. The coils that have survived all pass the "pins 2 & 3" resistance test as described in the same megasquirt docs, so the resistance test seems to be a more accurate indicator of suitability than the part revision number.

The best info on Megasquirt and VAG/VW coils is here:

OBX itb's they are a cheaper alternative to a dcoe type throttle body. I have seen them used many times and they are well built and a precision part there is not really much to them its not like a carb its just a throttle plate with an injector. I was going that way but found a good set of 50mm Jenvey's  instead.

 That is one sweet looking setup. What throttle linkage kit is that?

[AceAndrew]

As mentioned in the link, the OBX's are not necessarily well built.  Seeing them used by others does as opposed to helping people use them are two different things.

It's Jenvey own linkage kit, found here:

To fit the linkage kit under the ITBs I had to ditch the original starter and get one of the smaller modern ones.

I notice 130BHP, is that on an otherwise standard 02 engine, I wonder what it would yield on a Tii or similar high comp engine,

Also looking at the inlet it would appear that should the injector holes be threaded you could retain the kuglefischer, albeit with potential lean running issues? Perhaps only at WOT, I wonder if anyone has tried this setup?

The engine is a stage 1 Korman, 292 cam, 9.5:1 comp. More on my dyno session here:

Regarding using throttle bodies with the kfish, a guy named Remco Segger in Spain has done it. He posts frequently on the "BMW 2002" group on facebook. Not sure if this link will work, but here is one of his posts:
