Default DIY ITB's

Me being young and stupid...what would be involved in making ITB's at home? I don't see anything too complicated, but some welding...and that I could manage...

What I'm thinking is:

1. Make a flange,
2. Get some mandrell bends and weld those to the flange
3. weld 4 TB's on the pipes.
4. fabricate linkage...

I mean I know there's an IACV (but I'm living w/o one on my other car and all I need is to hold the gas down), and TPS, and all the vaccume crap, plus MAP sensor...but I cold possibly make all that fit (not IACV...Chim has enough trouble trying to make it work...)

Speaking of IACV, you'll never believe how I got mine to work...

I UNATTACHED IT FROM THE IM, left it w/out any connections, execpt the coolant bypass and the electrical, and I haven't gotten a CEL about it yet. Talk about f*cking boggling my mind...

don't forget that you're gonna have to hook something up to turn the TBs at the same time, check out TODA's or TWA(?), but I can see where you are coming from, w/ a lil welding skill it shouldn't be all that awful...

linkage ought to be no problem...but adjusting them will be PITA

I'm liking the idea nore and more...I might rebuild the Y7 as a N/A for now...I might bring the stacks up and out under a scoop though...and while I'm at this I might as well get higher comp pistons...

not really. anyone who puts that much time and money into a car is probably going to be using it as a track car.

even pro made ITBs dont have filters.
