they sound so good

woo-hoo

very nice indeed

omg i want itb's !!!!!!!!

I heard them on an S2000 before... sounded more like an f1 car than a Honda.

Something I always wondered... everybody with ITB's runs with no air filter. How much would this hurt engine life?

just add a mesh screen and it should be fine. and i herd that s2k as well it was sick

damn sounds hella crazy... AND YAY ALL MOTOR D!!! wonder how fast it runs...

siiccc

That´s exactly what i was looking for...anybody tried it? Last time i check, i´ve heard that suzuki itb´s would do the job...

Help needed!

Thanks

You're damn right. Particles as small as a few hundredths of a micron will get into your combustion chamber and get between the pistons and the cylinder walls, and consequently in your oil. This scratches the cylinder walls lowering compression and causing excessive blowby. As you can imagine these small particles are always present in the air. Not to mention moisture.

If you don't believe me, look at the filtering specs for air filters and oil filters. Fractions of a micron.

Now just imagine the dust in the air that you can actually see.

On a race motor of course this doesn't matter because racing motors have a short expected lifespan (and also don't run for long periods of time). But on your daily driver you'd be a fool to run open filter.

The solution is simple in concept but difficult in implementation. Take the 20 valve 4AGE as an example (a JDM Toyota Corolla engine, 4 cylinder, 1.6 liter, 5 valve per cylinder, variable valve timing, and factory individual throttle bodies). You simply enclose the throttle bodies in a plenum attached to a normal intake tube and filter.

You also use a plenum when turbocharging an engine that has ITB's.

In SA a popular ITB swap is taking the 20V's(sold as the corolla RXi) ITB's and droping them on ur car as they are cheap(R2400/$375 vs Jenvey R8000/$1000) and all u need is an adapter plate/manifold, if its got the plenum some trumpets and EMS.

There is a guy Jakes(JDMtuning) that specialises in b-series and k-series swaps and rates these ITB's on the 1600's). I posted pics of a light metalic blue/green EG sedan with the EK cwest front and his first setup was 20V ITB's on his B16 and ran a 15.0s 1/4 mile.


the trumpets have a plate on them for the foam filter
Here u see lots of guys with out filters but the other half run either induvidual cone filters or put a foam filter on.

this is what should be done

We built a set of ITB's for the 1979 civic that we swapped a d16z6 into, they sounded mean as hell but were a pain in the ass for daily driving. throttle response was a little too good, the smallest bump and it would jerk on and off the throttle.

This is the video from the first start up with itb's. isn't best video and was before we started playin with the tune and got it to run good and sound better.
