alright, i have a 95 integra ls/vtec and i was just wondering about the advantages to individual throttle bodies, and if they are worth the money, my engine was rebuilt 3000 miles ago, all oem internals nothing really special i was just curious what itb's were all about. I tried a search but came up with nothing, if any one has any info let me know

a lot of information here

On a stock engine, i would look into a turbo setup for the price. You'll have a lot better results and make a lot more power...

frisbie21789

yeah, well i would have some other bolt ons and **** like that but I found a obx set for $700, and the only turbo you can get for that is a shitty ebay turbo.:

what makes you think those itbs are any better?

Put it this way, the money you would have to put into the motor for the ITBs to be worth anything,
it would be a Lot more then a cheaply pieced together turbo.

And then you still have the cost for a Good set of ITBs.

anyone no more info on those obx itb's??? i thought obx made crappy stuff, so anyone using the obx itb's??any good? worth getting?

MrDomino

ITB's are really only worth the price if youre trying to build an NA motor where every little bit of power counts. as far as just bolting them on and hoping for power gains, you really wont see much. plus, you usually need to get a tune afterwards because it replaces all of the intake stuff....

its really not worth it to just go out and buy unless youre planning a huge NA build.

There is no usually about it, you will need an extensive tune afterward by someone who really knows how to tune ITB's. You can get the same results if not better from a good P&P IM and port matched TB.

Unless you have one hell of a built NA motor and a good set of ITB's with a GREAT tuner just stay away from ITB's

x2. It's really not worth it unless your motor has significant upgrades.

i didnt know if they were any better, thats why i made this topic, because i didnt really know anything about them...What about running boost on my stock internal motor, obviously not alot like 8psi or something like that?

ls19integra95

you still would have to get it tuned to get good gains, but id go with the turbo instead the itb's...

frisbie21789

well yeah, i know i would have to get it tuned, but with stock internals am I really looking at a big power gain and would I be at risk of messing up my motor by not really building it, like I said i wouldnt really be planning on running major psi like 8ish

SlammedDC2

Anything other than stock will result in a greater deterioration of your motor. However if your running around 8psi and taking care of the motor, I would assume you would be fine. But don't quote me as I know next to nothing about boost and dont care to..

&lt;---NA

ls19integra95

multiple people have said that 6-8psi MAX is ok on stock as long as your not constantly beating on it and take care of the motor, like its normal maintenance when scheduled, and as long as get a good tune... your should get a decently noticable gain but not a real big one, but if you just want a little more power then this would probably be your best bet...

imo the only plus side to using those is it makes for a pretty neat conversation piece, and looks pretty bad-*** when you open your hood.

With the right motor set up and an extensive tune they can be productive. They also sound mean as hell.

ivan93egreppin210

shouldnt he be more concerned about the max hp his motor can handle as opposed to max psi his motor can handle. dont diffrent size turbos net different hp gains on different psi. correct me if im wrong please.

no, your correct, depending on what size turbo it is depends how much psi he can handle and the majority of the sizes that he would be able to get would be able to be between 6-8psi...
