Omnipower ITBs

[99SI]

Ricers run open header to make their shit sound loud. That's all they care about is how loud it was. Mike learned that when he was at Nopi. The guys that were buying them out of underbody neons and led windshield washers taught it to him.

can these run as daily driver or only track

[LS2ner]

DD or track...either one you choose

Again, make sure ITB's are the crowning touch on solid build including: cams, valvetrain, GOOD header, standalone or obd-1 chip/hondata, higher compression, etc. Good luck with them. They are definately a neat addition to a good build.

Err.. i prob shouldve been more clear...DD if your car is able to handle them. Otherwise id guess you'd be loosing power.

ITBs can be daily driver, but , it would be like buying a GT35R an putting it on your SOHC D15 non vtec, its pointless unless you have the other combinations to take advantage of the ITBs

IE, running 13.5:1 conmpression will not net you the gains you would want to see if you ran stock B16 cams.

Hah! so in a not really kinda way i was right! Yes! =P

I think you'd almost ALWAYS make power by going ITBs just by the nature of the design. But for the pricepoint you'd be a BONEHEAD to go that extreme on a stock or near stock motor. You'd also introduce a tuning NIGHTMARE to your setup... there are not a lot of shops that can support ITB tuning, you are essentially tuning each cylinder individually, so it can be quite the challenge.

You should net more power with ITB's, no matter the build, as long as the fuel can keep up with it...but for most classes in [road] racing they aren't legal. As for tuning, any shop with a dyno can do it and you can with a "standalone" yourself too once a good solid baseline has been established. The main problem is constant tuning is required depending on weather (to get the most out of them), you will smell like gas, etc.

For the price a high quality header and an elephantitus password jdm/j's racing intake will have just has much gain with zero disadvantages.

You'd think that, but the reality is somewhat different:

A properly designed intake manifold would be able to surpass even the gains of individual throttle bodies, simply due to the overlapping of the sound waves causing air to resonate and form a charged air pulse...

Simply put; itb's can be outperformed by a single throttle body and properly matched and designed intake manifold.

The downside? You better know wtf you're doing when designing your setup.

Itb's look and sound badass. They also have this insane throttle response..... But they are finicky in that tuning will take you a bit longer to make them daily driver streetable - you'll have to get acquainted with tuning via throttle position vs. map sensor. All in all, they're not so bad.

Damn long time no post, you must have followed the link from HT about this thread! I saw it yesterday, unfortunately I'm still on a trial membership there with only 3 posts. euc08 on HT btw.
