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

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!
There MUST be some more power there from tuning.

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?
