To each their own I guess. Personally, I don't get. ITB cars look and sound cool, but I would never own one.

levnubhin 02-01-2008 10:22 AM

I could buy a guitar and a pimp suit for 2k and look and sound much cooler.

I like the idea of ITBs being force fed..

Shit, I've already spent close to 4k and haven't even driven the damn thing since the day I drove it home and stuck it in the garage. Oh, and not ONE horsepower part yet.

A good engine build on 1.6 with .020 pistons, header and intake costing $2k made 103 ftlbs and 115hp at the rear wheels. Everything else was stock! :doh:
There MUST be some more power there from tuning.

when turbo cars shit on his chest, he can talk about the mega awesome throttle response.

Braineack 02-01-2008 11:24 AM

Saml01 02-01-2008 11:55 AM

I don't see why it would be all that great/benefitical. I'd rather one large TB and a well built plenum.

i suppose you could do it with one 90-100mm TB if you wanted.

I don't really see that much of an advantage to going that route.

Maybe you would save a little cash but i don't think it would be that much. If you bought a set of used ITBs and made your own set up.

a big TB isn't cheap.


Why would you rather go with one?

Braineack 02-01-2008 02:58 PM

cause what gain do you get with 4 on a plenum?

TonyC 02-01-2008 03:02 PM

104hp? if i made that much (little), i'd just resign the account and call it quits.
