Just wondering about ITB solutions for the DBW 06+ people. Is there currently anything in the works for us DBW'ers or are we just screwed?

 

Seems easy yet complicated at the same time seeing as how you'd need 4 separate motors the open close the throttle valves.

give it some time, it'll happen. no doubt that companies are working on things right now.

 

I dont see this ever happening due to cost and the fact that ITBs lose emissions and cold start functionality. Anyone who would go ITB really shouldnt care about either of those things anyway so going back to a cable throttle really wouldn't be a downside. Likely if ITBs for the 06+ ever do happen, it will be a retro fit setup back to a cable throttle. The only ITB DBW setups I know of are on newer BMW M series cars which were obviously engineered that way from the factory.

 

couldnt they just use one motor to turn all 4 throtle plates? it should def be possible just SUPER expensive.

 

You would need a standalone EMS which doesn't exist for the 2006+.

 

^ Motec and AEM EMS by autowave/SOS..

 

im sure hondata will be releasing something tuneable for us dbw'ers besides the reflash soon enough. hopefully....thats what im waiting for atleast. the reflash is still too sketchy for me.

 

SOS has a kit for the DBW NSX, so its only a matter of time before ITB's hit the DBW s2000.
