You have to be kidding... 30hp? That sucks.. $4000 for 30hp? Better off going with boost then huh?

 

N/A power isn't cheap. Well, neither is boost.

 

I concur.... but damn... $4000 for 30hp? For that much it better be 30+ hp from 0-9000rpm across the band. The damn engine swap itself wasnt $4000 ... i guess boost is the way to go??

 

In my opinion i would stay aways from ITB's, especially if you dont know what the hell your doing. In my observations of my cousin who is very good at tuning and all that good mechanics stuff I consider them a pain in the ass. Yes the gains are awesome but only with the right tuning and unless you know how to tune them the maintainance bill adds up. Boost is cool but you have a 10 year old engine in your car and as far as i know its not rebuilt or anything so that might be a little dangerous.

 

Umm i have a b17a and it is freshly rebuilt with 1000miles on it.. the head and block have been rebuilt to factory specs. B16a2 hydro tranny, intake, and exhaust manifolds. You say i dont know what the hell im doing? Dont make assumptions about people you dont know. Have you seen my car? I did my damn engine swap my self... www.teameci.com/dustin.html

Where are ur 19s at?

 

Link doesn't work.

I believe he was talking about "knowing what the hell you're doing" with respect to tuning ITB's, no need to get offended.

 

yeah, he was just saying, it'll be a hassle if you don't know what you're doing, not you don't know what you're doing. No need to stress.

 

OH well thats kewl... i can understand that.. they do look pretty difficult to tune/maintain.. looks like some ferrari type ****. Think ill just stick with other means like boost.. From what i hear this thing looks hard and costly to make street drivable
