I think you're referring to the individual throttle butterflies used on the BMW M cars. This basically allows for infinitely controllable throttle opening for each cylinder. I'm not sure exactly what the advantage of this is, but it is not available for the TSX.

Our car only has one throttle body for all four cylinder. A car with indivitual throttle bodies means that there is a separate throttle for every cylinder. You don't often see them on production cars because they add considerable expense and are much harder to tune properly. It's pretty well reserved for race cars now.

Toda makes a kit for the S2000: http://www.todaracing.com/products/h...le_bodies.html

A K24 application would look similar if anyone were to make one.

Edit: Here's a shot of the throttle bodies on the M3:

Our engine is the K24A2

The only way you're going to be able to do individual throttle bodies on a TSX is if you were to eliminate the DBW system which would also require you to get an aftermarket ECU like the K-Pro for the RSX.

Your probably better off to go for a supercharger or turbo. It will probably cost about the same.

You should search. This is one of the most common topics on this board. Here's a link to get you started:

For someone who is planning to race, you should know that information already.

The TSX already has 2 adjustable cam gears. It is integrated in the i-VTEC system.

You sure you're into racing?

I wouldn't keep my hopes up for a TSX specific one, these are usually designed for sports cars or track cars like the S2000. If there is an RSX one you might be able to retrofit it since its a K-series engine, but expect to lose the DBW functionality.

It's main purpose is to allow the VSA system to reduce power if it detects wheelspin.

One adjustable - the intake.

The stock ECU will not handle ITBs.
