everything you mentioned doesn't require any tweaks - the heat and A/C system are untouched by the addition of ITB's. The TPS come with the ITB's so its just a matter of unplugging the stock one and plugging the new one it, and as far as the IACV, you don't really need it, but if you feel that it is necessary, it would be really easy to fabricate a way to mate it to a vacuum block.
Thats weird, everyone told me you will lose the heat and air.

If you don't lose heat and air ill have these suckers in my car in a month. I did all my research last year but never pulled the plug. I still have alot to learn, but im not like the average s2k owner who just wants ITB's to be a baller. I just wan't to compliment my n/a setup and eventually stroke it to a 2.4

that would be awesome, 2.4L with ITB's would be nasty


even better, have you seen inline pros 2.7L stroker, that with ITBs would be the holy grail for N/A F2X.

Ive seen the 2.7, but im not sold on it yet.

Its not like the 2.5 where a few people have ran that and we know what the problems were and how they were created and how to avoid them.

^^^ I'm sure opinions vary, but many people that have bored the motor have had lots of problems with blowing head gaskets.

ITB question;

What is currently the best kit for racing? May not make the most power, but would be the most reliable and heavy duty to take the abuse of racing conditions. Also being a complete kit is important for ease of maintenance (getting parts etc)... I read through the thread but would like to hear from the experts on any updates and such. Any advice would be greatly appreciated

A few guys purchased the 2.5 from IP and their motors blew. Im pretty sure it was due to oil starvation, but I think the main issue was that IP did not build the motors for those few customers. They all had their own mechanics/ shops due it to save on the cost. If im not mistaken though, the 2.5 and the 2.7 that were on the IP shop car was running fine and had no issues.

Do you have a tuner Steve?

Thats the first step. Get ahold of a really good tuner and do some talking. I was talking to Jeff Evans for a little last year about Haywards for my car. I learned alot. I still think we can tune these from an established base map and tweak it.

The hardest problem were going to face is the inconsistent weather around here. ITB's are sensitive.
