i know this has probally been posted a lot but in my search all i find is ones for sell and homeade ones. I know that they are part of the intake manifold and they are mostly for all motor engines but i dont know exactly what they are and what they do and used for. Can anyone help me? thanks

 

individual throttle bodies.....????

That's right. If you need more info you should check out this TWM site http://www.twminduction.com

this is what I shall be getting this friday

can't wait to install next week adn then on to crome, AEM EMS or something as they require tuning

ain't just plug and play guys

 

ok i get what it is now thanks but i still don't get exactly how it works? since it's like individual throttle bodies does it suck in like 4 times as much air as a regular intake manifold or what? and how come there's no like air philters or anything like that covering them from polluted air? How much hp gain would it help and how come u cant put em on turboed motors?

 

Basically you are directing more air into the cylinders. I have been looking at doing this myself and the guys over at J G Engine Dynamics were telling me that if you aren't running high compression (at least 11.5) then you may actually loose power.
They make socks and things for them to filter the air.
Sorry I don't know hp gain yet.
The problem with putting them on turboed motors lies in turbo's like low compression and ITB's like high compression. Their is probably a lot more to all this though, this is just what I have uncovered so far.

 

OH MY GOD!

 

Someone doesn't beleive in doing their own homework.


Seriously kiddo, all you hav eto do is search on here or on Google and you can educate yourself. Stop being lazy.

what he said

 

I'll be nice. ITBs=Individual Throttle Bodies, as was covered. Like the name implies, you use an individual throttle body for each port, as opposed to a plenum style manifold. The gains are debatable, depending on the motor. One of the main reasons for using ITBs is to "increace throttle responce". Mostly to make it quicker. The air has less distance to travel through a confined port from atmosphere to cylinder.

ok first of all correct me if im wrong i thought thats what this sight was all about? is getting help? thats why i asked so i could get info from what people say not some fruity stuff on google and second of all itz jus im new to all motor because i use to be more of a turbo guy but was wondering if i went the all motor route. me and my brother have a 90RS turboed runs 10.78 and was wondering how it would do all motor wise and how much ITB"s would help... thanks everyone else tho that wasn't a ******** and helped out

 

Read up on turbo piping/plumbing. Mainly on the intake side. That explains why itbs and turbos don't work well.

HT can be pretty harsh to new people. i'll try to answer a few of your questions.

say your cylinder head flows 280cfm with a radiused inlet guide. put your intake manifold/TB combo on there and flow it and you might be down say 10cfm(which would be pretty good for most off the shelf parts), but with the ITBs you might only be down 3cfm from the restriction the butterfly creates. so that is one advantage.

another is injector placement. by moving it they are trying to promote better fuel atomization.

also being able to change your runner length via different velocity stacks.
you rarely see people running filters because they dont want to interupt the air flow. when you are NA you care about those extra few HP, and most engines that are purpose built dont run for 150,000 miles.

the whole ITBs need high compression theory is false. the reason you dont see more turbo guys using them is just due to simplicity. it is much easier to just use a typical manifold/tb. in order to use ITBs on your turbo car you would have to fabricate a plenum.
