ITB question
i have noticed that some of the owners have itb on their car....i am very new to the itb system. Does that increase a lot of hp on the wheel? or it just sounds better? how many hp does it increase? and which brand is good and which brand is not good?

itb's it varies on different setups, u can gain 20whp depending on ur setup, with itb's ur getting equal amount of air to each cylinder, and u gain alot of midend power and they sound really good.

I have ITB's, see my thread mentioned above.
In order to run ITB's, you need a standalone ECU, larger injectors, and and adjustable fuel pressure regulator.
Driveability is greatly improved with the added midrange...I flat out wreck any s2k I line up against except for FI guys...and I even give them a run for their money in 1st and 2nd.
The install is not hard, but it is complicated and time consuming.
There is no means of computer controlled idle, as well. Idle is set via setscrew on the ITB's (Jenveys's and Haywards, not sure on TWM's or Toda's), thus cold idle is very low. You must let the vehicle warm up before you try to drive it, or it'll bog and stall.
All in all ITB's are insanely awesome
They are loud as HELL...so if you enjoy quiet, long drives, forget it. ITB's transform your car into something evil
When you drop it a few gears and get on it, the scream of the engine is all you can hear, and it's a beautiful sound. You'll need a very reputable, knowledgeable tuner to set them up, as well.

so how much you spent on your itb in total? i meant included the stand along ecu, injector and the rest? and what brand are you using?

Jenvey 50mm ITB's w/ 440 cc/min injectors $1510 shipped (ebay)
Real cost of Jenvey ITB's $2399
real cost of 440cc/min injectors $300
Aeromotive fuel pressure regulator real cost $170 ( I got it much cheaper through a friend)
Fuel line fittings, steel braided hose, fuel gauge, etc. $200
Intall and tune ranges greatly depending on shop used. I went to 2nrwerks. If you're interested, you'll have to PM them, as I can't tell you their prices.
You need to tune them on a dyno, and street tune the part throttle settings. Unless you know your AEM EMS like the back of your hand and are thoroughly trained in EFI, I strongly suggest you do not attempt to tune ITB's by yourself.
