pats on the ball!
I was looking at ITB's but the intake on the VVTi 1UZ is different so i don't want to put out the money for ITB's and then have to get a second set later on but weather i get one of them later is another thing, ill see how it goes with exhaust, ECU and E85 to start with, i know the KE from tazzi is pulling 270rwkw with high comp pistons (14:1), cams (280 somehting i think), ITB's, ECU and E85 and i figure thats prob more than enough power for a striped sprinter, though i will go with less aggressive cams to keep the mid range. This would be fixed with the VVTi though so im still not 100% decided.
Here are a couple pics of the car to start with.
The engine fits a lot lower but at that time the stock exhaust manifold was still on and fouled the steering rack as well as still having a load of brake/fuel lines coming up through the tunnel catching on anything it could.

My baby is starting to get all cut up...But its for the best. Cut out the floor of the boot ready for the fuel cell
As far as ITB go I'm not sure what sort to get, there are a fair few around with prices ranging from $900 to $5000
Here are some links to the ITB's ive found, help here is appreciated.
OBX from ebay
A1 Turbo Setup
EFI Hardware
And these but they only suit the VVTi but its more of an adapter plate.
yeh thats what i was thinking, but apparently their stuff is hit and miss. so far nobody has got a review on these TB so i cant tell if they are one of their good or bad creations...
We run the efi hardware set on our rally car and they are definately a good thing. However, the $5k price tag for the lexus set would definately turn me off... lol
Yeh price is the down side to them, they do look good though. The KE from taz is using the A1 Turbos set up and they have said a lot of good things about it but its rather tall meaning i may have to mod the bonnet.
On the clutch master front i may have found a solution, apparently a lot of the stubby nose vans (the ones with no bonnet up the front) use pull type master with remote reservoir, if this is true then that is a much cheaper solution.
