wassup and thanks for looking at my thread. I bought myself a 94 integra last summer and I've been saving up my money for parts. On my car right now I have:
-Motegi DP6 17" rims with toyo T1R's
-Omni power street coilovers
-Skunk 2 exhaust
-powerslot rotors with axxis pads
I spent most of the money I saved up buying a and integra type R engine (98spec) and it has
-DC sports header
-NGK spark plugs
-injen inake
My question is as you know I wanna run ITB's on my car and I'm gonna buy a stand alone ECU for it but I wanna know is that would I get more power outta my ITB's or should I just stick with my intake, buy a spoon throttle body and skunk 2 intake manifold. I also want to know if the HKS FCON PRO will work with my integra or if any of HKS's piggy back systems or should I just go straight to AEM EMS?
(P.S. I think that a car that come from tha factory NA should stay NA and Vice Versa for turbo cars) I AM A TRUE NA LOVER lol but and suggestions?
Mods: 16" Volks, Stage-2 Six Puck Clutch w/HD Pressure Plate, Lightened Flywheel, DC Sports Short Shifter
i hear that ITBs only give minimal gains unless there has been some serious internal engine work. so far you seem to have only hit the basic bolt-ons thus far. correct me if im wrong, but thats what ive heard up til now.
lol sry, I just want to kno which way would be the best if I get all the internals upgraded, pistons, rods, valvetrain the works, and please help me with my other EMS problem
they will yield minimal gains with your current mods..
i hear they work BEST when you have cams and headwork, and maybe some dif. internals, +some good tuning really makes them give much better power. if you have the $ and you wanna go all motor, do it..but if you just wanna go fast, turbo is cheaper and gives more power.
if you're going to stick NA, a first thing would be a set of high comp pistons.
AEM EMS is veerrrry expensive, but worth it if you have a lot of work done, or plan on doing a lot.
are you thinking of getting a bore or stroke increase?

im pretty sure i've seen both custom home made filters, and store bought filters made for ITBs used before. but then there were some who commented that it defeated the purpose of ITBs, but i dont see how a high flow filter being used would hurt performance very much.

Yeah, I've heard of sock type filters that go over each TB. They would give the engine a nice look at car shows, kind of like the covers you see over plane engines at air shows.
Yeah, ITB's are cool! They aren't really practical for a DD. If you have mods to support it I hear they are sweet, but a waste of money otherwise.
Yeah, why do you want ITBs in the first place, cuz they're cool? It's not gonna get you very far with stock compression, stock cams, and 25lb wheels...
