ITB's are a minefield, mainly due to the lack of people fitting them.

There is a very good ITB thread in the main fourm.

I wouldn't expect a huge amount of power with them, and filtration is the other big issue. Running them open is a bit dodgy, and putting socks on them seems to sap power.

Tumpet length is the other key issue.

Setting up an ECU can be fiddly too.

I ran Jenvey ITB's on my Integra, amazing mid range, the ££'s were rather a lot for the top end gain though.

Ran them open for around 30k miles with no issues.

If your really serious i can ask my mate, he specialises in installing and mapping ITBs including Jenvy.

I remember him saying the filter things you get are rubbish, but dont know too much on them.

There are a few F20C with ITBs about.
But all I have seen are in rally cars - often Mk2 Escorts.
Try the rally forums in UK or Eire.

For the outlay, its on par with supercharging, and getting them properly set-up is key!

I bet they sound amazing and would enhance the character of this sweet engine!

I've been tempted by ITB's many a time. The three key issues I found were

- You can forget ever passing a sound test at a track ever again.
- Large outlay, 'minimal' gains
- Tuning them is impossible, you cant seem to get them to work for a daily driver
