ITB's who's in the know?

[Chilliman]

Right, rosey has got em, who else? All this talk of FI options is great, brilliant stuff, and the dyno thread too

But what about ITB's..... allows you to run plenty of overlap and no cross chamber contamination. Apparently

Not cheap, over 3k for a JE xover and jenveys, and, allegedly, only about another 20bhp (if yer lucky), but good driveability from low revs even with a hairy cam

So, what does the Chim forum collective think?? worth it? waste of money? ultimate NA mod??

All thoughts welcome

Chilli..

[neal1980]

you will spend another 3k and still not be happy.

Just turbo it!!

Cost dear boy IMO no downsides otherwise cant beat a choke per cylinder Oh and that noise

[Alexdaredevils]

Think out the box, and maybe have a tunnel ram style intake made up, that will give more power IMO

It's something I wanted to do

Some thing like this

Phew, I thought you were gonna say builders!

In all seriousness, will you get any more power then your setup?

I think yours shows really good power as is and I can't imagine an increase by going to ITBs.

Look at Ians graph, his is apparently very drivable but not 400 horses.

I believe to get the most n/a out of these engines you will loose drivability so by that you will have to go FI to fulfil your dream.

You can't get something for nothing and with these heads we are stuffed regarding anything more then minor gains.

Just my tupence worth.

Loose that crappy intake

Bump that compression up

Add a dirty great big roller cam

And I think you will be way past 400

is the crappy intake the funny looking plenum or the tumble drier pipe?
