ITB The Way It Should Be - PNW Speed

too busy to read the whole thing right now.... but the pics look great jajaja

Worthless in my opinion. He talks about the K24 EG with making 266 WHP and 199 FT Lb Torque.


What he forgot to mention is there are tons of street K24s making 270-290 on pum gas and that most of them are in intake manifolds.

I see mention of skylines and GTIR making big HP on ITBs but the question he needs to ask himself is why all the very big tunners who make 800-1200 HP on these motors switch to intake manifolds with 80-100mm TB.

Bahhhh

The fastest NA drag Hondas are running intake manifolds and large TBs.


Can we say together IPS intake manifold and IPS drag car.

Yep in NY all the 10'sec all motor civic's run IPS.. ALL!Also K series ITB have a "ram" effect ,while driving air is forced into the ITB so it will make WAY more power than say a sr20-or a B series which the ITB's would not have that effect because how its position

yup, ips make some good intakes.

but id much rather sacrafice a few hp for the insane throttle response the sound and look.

but im just a ricer at heart lol.

stratton.

Someone needs to tell Mark at Mazworks to go put ITBs on his 1200 + WHP SR22VET S15.

I think he might laugh so hard he might die.

Seems so far to me a nice made intake manifold and 80mm Q45 TB is laying down the law.

"Of course, ITBs are today's "something different"-and likewise, we all want it (or at least would give it a try for the right price). Our bet is that once knowledge is shared among tuners of the best way to use them, ITBs won't be such a thing of mystery; prices will fall and they'll gradually become less scary, albeit less "cool." At least, until the next new thing gets abused enough to take its place in the shadows."

Last bit sums it up IMO. Has NOTHING to do with making power... It is all about the "hey look at me" factor.

For Boost ITB's arent necessary, and can hamper performance.

For N/A they work. If you dont find they work your not getting enough out of the setup. ITB's are mathematically and physically proven to outperform a manifold with a shared plenum and single TB.

This Intake manifold says bullsh!t

And it says bullsh!t again
