I have a b16a and i plan on putting a turbo on it. Is it a bad idea to get Individual throttle bodies?

 

No,, its great idea!! go for it!

 

*waits for responses confusing velocity stacks and itbs*

 

Didnt a few people try this already?

didnt yield substantial results

 

so you think its not a good idea????

 

no because its not cost effective lol

 

seems pointless, when something cheaper will prolly give you more power

 

the m3 guys are making some good power with their itbs. but that comes stock...so for a honda, i think it would be outta the way to get power and make it work with itbs. you can make lots of power with the stock manifold, let alone an aftermarket one with a huge plenum and runners.

 

how much horsepower would you get

 

I do not think you will see any power gains using ITB's on a forced induction application.

The primary benefits ITB's offer over conventional plenum/single TB systems is a more even cylinder-to-cylinder airflow, easier adjustment of runner length/velocity stack combinations, and the most important reason - throttle response.

With all variables held equal, a conventional plenum/TB will make the same power as an ITB setup, on both forced induction applications and naturally aspirated.

Once a system is pressurized, the affect of even airflow and throttle response is made less apparent, the later having a larger influence from compressor/turbine size.

If ultimate power is your focus, you should consider a conventional plenum/TB for shear simplicity and available data/parts.

Tony the Tiger has one of the more proper setups utilizing ITB’s and FI.

 

You will make less HP versus a traditional plenum/TB, not to mention you have to buy a set of ITB's, size them for the HP you plan on making, then you have to hack them all up to install the plenum on them..... THEN who is to say you are not starving one cylinder of air?

The old Skylines came with ITB style IM's, and when people want to make power with them they switch out to a standard plenum/TB style IML.

If i had a 250-300whp road racing setup looking for max spool and throttle responce I might consider something of this nature, but completely un-necessary.
