ITB's
I read an article in Import Tuner magazine on Individual throttle boddies, and it got me really interested. They were able to gain over 40HP on a K24 EG just by swapping the cams and tuning with the Individual throttle boddies. Do these work well on forced induction D-series and does anyone know who makes them? I have been searching but can't find anything!
not to ruin your thunder, but itb's are one of the extremes in power gains, along with turbocharging and a complete engine build up. It might seem cool and all at first, but when you see the amount of work in tuning and financing it, you'll change your mind. Pairing it with a forced induction is just pointless considering your changing to four separate tb's and then mating them to a single charge pipe. If you're interested in more power with a turbo d setup, just build it up a little more and up the pressure.
Yeah, ITB's are more or less designed for N/A motors, where they can actually accomplish something. And for the price of an ITB setup on a N/A motor, you could actually turbo said motor.
Also, magazines tend to lie about a lot of things, power gains especially (zomg! We gained 10hp to the wheels on a beat up EF just by changing the spark plug wires!). Anybody see the issue of Super Street a few months back with the yellow EP3 that they claimed was built on a college student's budget? Bull. F**king. S**t. Look how long it took flip to get the money together to turbo, yet they're claiming some kid put together that civic on the same budget?

Thanks everyone guess it wouldn't really work that good with forced induction now that I think of it.
ej6buddy, my engine is in the machine shop right now. I get it back tomorrow or tuesday.
Its a jdm D15B Vtec w/LSD Tranny
The machine shop is doing R&R External Accessories + Clean. Bore & Hone the block. Surface block, grind crank, recondition cylinder head, assemble performance long block, and balance the engine. This is all my new parts going in:
75.5mm Overbored Vitara Pistons with Forged I-Beam Connecting Rods & ARP Rod Bolts
Crower Stage 2 Turbo Cam with Crower Valve Springs & Titanium Retainers
ARP Headstuds
75.5mm Cometic Head Gasket
New Timing Belt, Water Pump Kit, Valve Cover Set, Cam & Crank Seals/Bottom End Gasket Set
AEM Tru-Timing Adjustable Cam Gear
I'm putting in my new turbo and the rest of these by myself, I already installed the fuel pump and new cat and plugged in the ECU.
TD05 16G EVO III Turbo *Wastegate at 14 PSI*
Tubular Style Turbo Manifold
P28 Vtec ECU Chipped W/ Chrome Basemap
GM 3 Bar Map Sensor
Walbro 255 Fuel Pump
Magnaflow Hi-Flow Catalytic Converter
It's going on the dyno sunday. Hoping to get high 200's hopefully low 300's. Hopefully I don't have any boost leaks when we up the psi, I have a greddy profec b spec II so Ill probably up the boost to low 20's while its being tuned.
