whats everyones views on ITB's

[twin eng, twin turbs]

ITB's would be OK if it was a race engine only.[/QUOTE]

I agree on both counts, twin carbies and turbocharging are great ways to extract the power your after, but ITB's on a race engine only? In this era of after market engine management systems you can most certainly tune ITB's on a road car mapping both your fuel and ignition to make it smooth and very drivable in daily driving conditions and with the better computers on the market offering multiple fuel and ignition maps you can switch maps having aggresive ignition advance and fueling for top end performance. Carbies are a far cheaper option though I would like to see someone get more power and better drivability from twin carbies of equivilent throttle diameter to well tuned ITB's. I would not bother with K-Jet though having done an 8v turbo setup with it and having no end of drama tuning it.

yeah its a lot of hard work.. especially if you are on a budget.

but still i learn the hard way. should have built a 20v ae86 then i could have had the sound and the sideways action...
