I heard about it, also heard you could put filters for each tb. cost..... well check this website out:

not sure if it was a joke or if it actually works**

Apparently this guy has never seen an IM like this or ITB setup pop off from those rubber couplers due to a backfire :p

Interesting though, it would be pretty tight to have it work on our cars but then again the air would be realy hot, then you would have to get some hood ventilation of some kind going on, scoops, holes etc.

i just thought it was an interesting website... i'd like to see it done on our cars... along with a lot of other things since cl's lack aftermarket parts and such.


i'm sure it'd sound sexy though =D

There is a member in 2gTL thats claiming to have it made for his car

Not very practical for a 6cyl motor.

Really? Has he any pics, dynos to prove this done?



I think the E46 M3 pulled it off nicely. I don't see how it's not practical.

probably means not practical for a DD since it sucks a lot of dust in since there is no filter.... but i researched a bit and people can put filters on each tb i guess...

I looked in to this.... Actually posted a thread:https://acurazine.com/forums/showthread.php?t=184857

Since our intake manifolds sit on top of the block there will not be enough clearance for each throttle body,the hood wouldnt even close unless you made them super short but even then I dont think it will clear.

Like fuzzy said, its just not practical for our cars.

Thing is you would still have to rig up an intake box sytem of some sort to enclose the TB's and it would still work but just imagine the heat soak and low end power loss

man ITB's are the shit and they make alot of nice power. for inline 4cyl hondas, it is very easy to make and get kits because they can use cbr and other bike throttle bodies no problem. no you wouldnt have to rig an intake box, and the gains are far more greater than the loss of power due to heat soak. ITB's come on e46 m3's and european e36 m3's and they are inline 6cyl.

unfortunately, we have v6 engines and like stated earlier, it wont be practical. theres not enough room and would just be too much bs.

You don't have to do anything, but it would behoove you do either enclose the ITB's or run piping from each of them to some sort of rigged box system. Thats what teh M3's do as you mentioned.

If you don't then heat soak will kill your performance don't trick yourself intpo thinking it won't. Sure overall you'll get power especially when on the freeway and the air isn't too hot but eventually you'll feel the heatsoak. That and leaving them exposed, or just not joined, like we all like to imagine I suppose would kill the low end torque on the cars perhaps some midrange too. I have no doubt high end will improve but then again with our cars only revving up to ~7K is it really worth it?

Sun Diego CL-S

He didn't say that it's not practical for our cars. He said it's not practical for 6 cylinder engines. You mentioned the reason why it would be a bitch to apply to our car. That would be a whole lot of work to make it work right.

ITBs can easily be applied to certain engines/cars to work as some said. Just not ours.

PowerRev

Why not pratical? We are developing a set of ITB's for our NA setup. It will not be a product we will be selling, but we will be using our our own J32. Will be similar setup to those seen on Nissan VQ engines.


Thats on a 350 Z.






I couldnt find a good picture of a set that crosses each other, so that they will still give you hood clearance,

i miss typed it, hes claiming to be having it made.

never forget the S2K I heard a clip of, sounded ridiculously aggressive... in a good way.

i think you would see the same gains if you built a custom intake manifold that just has dual throttle bodies, with the 2 intakes sweeping under each headlight... but that's just me. basicaly have another inlet opposite of the current one, and reorganize the IMRC plenum flap. i would think it's more cost effective and easier.

x2...i heard one guy's on youtube...sounded sick

Your right.... Thats what I was trying to say. Not practical for the CL.

I.T.B.'s are a sick mod, they sound great and provide great gains, but cost a lot of $$$$$.

If we put them on our car we would need more hood clearance. Could this be achieved? Anyone?

This thread is getting more hits/responses than mine, any additional info. would be great.
