Is that even possible??? Know of anyone who've done that?? That's impressive.

Yes, it's possible, there's a shop that I have a catlogue of that will do it...it's their highest stage of tuning for the KA...I'll have to dig for that thing...if I had the money, that's what I'd be doing.

Yeah its a KA24E with TWM individual throttle bodies. I also have a worked head with a Nissan Motorsports "R4" cam, HS header and N1 exhaust. Because the ITBs do not use an MAF sensor, the fuel injectors are controlled by a Haltech F9A ecu. The ignition is still controlled by the stock ECU...that's why I'm looking into changing the distributor to a mechanical/vacuum advanced type (still doing research on the best alternative distributor).

I'm not to happy with the HS header (I think the runners are paired improperly) and may end up just porting the stock exhaust manifold and using that. We'll see...stay tuned.

There was some show like Two Guys Garage where they were building up an old Cobra. The only part I saw was about the distributor which was a mechanical/vaccuum advance type(I think). They build the distributor based on what you need...might wanna check into it. Their website is www.twoguysgarage.com and go to the second page of the previous shows. Its an DUI unit I believe. I'd love to find out more about doing an individual throttle body setup...I'm not much of a turbo guy and the idea of ITB is nice.

stil bill, you dont plan on using the DSM as a daily car right? just a hobby right? cause other wise it will just break and you will start investing alot of money into tow trucks.  Fast cars, but majorly unreliable.
