The ITBs will have to be welded to something or any backfire will blow them off. Rubber sleeves with clamps wont hold them on

what kind of ITB's will be on it? A few of the nsx guys run ITB's specially in Japan, they're all about NA tuning Honda motors, I wonder if the ITB's they use on the nsx will work for the Tl-S with some modification?

Did you say that you made one? Can we see some pictures of how it looks?

alright heres whats going on

theres not too much of a chance that we're going to be able to complete this on this car

my dad hates it because it breaks non stop

so he wants to get rid of it..


HOWEVER

i am not stopping the project

all i need is someone who lives in south florida with a 3.2 tl engine, who would like to have it done to there car "free of charge"; meaning, the cost they pay is the cost of the parts.

the parts include:

the custom CNC machined pieces to hold the throttle bodies
the airbox to surround the assembly
and a standalone engine management system, such as haltech; it is required to run such a setup if planning on running ITBs.

if anybody is interested, please let me know

i am NOT BULLSHITING
do not say i am

i am very familiar with the program "Autodesk inventor 11"
to you that means
i have every bit of skill it takes to make this on my own
autodesk is a 3D modeling program which machinest use to model there parts, so the CNC mill knows what to make

i would be much more likely to accept your offer to make this your car if you already have a exhaust and headers, or if you are willing to get them. (i would presonally recomend having a somebody make them for you. a shop wouldn't ask for more than a 800-1000, for a COMPLETE racing full flow exhaust with FULL equal length headers.
for the results are much less if you dont have them to match

i really do mean that it will be COMPLETELY FREE OF ADDITIONAL COST

just PM me

or if you'd like, call me

my number is 954 854 4866
and i live in broward, florida

NO BULL
if you dont belive me

talk to me in person, no reason not to if you live near and are willing to do such

May i also mention, that after i make the first system for whoever accepts this, i will post the results, with DYNO and all, overall price for a system, and then begin selling sets, with everything done. If you set up your engine the exact same as the one that we use (I.E. the same exhaust and everything else) it means that we could copy the tuning over, and you would just be able to plug the fucker in and watch it run.

please, i'd love to see this done, somebody step up

Wish I lived close enough to guinea pig my ride.

Anyways, good luck with the project.

Also FYI, make sure you talk to the mods on here before you think about selling the ITB set.

Did you ever find a tester? Just curious on the progress of this project, if any.

I believe it's a flop, just like the "Mysterious Mod" claim that cropped up and died a couple years ago.

I bet this never happened. Maybe he realised that Autodesk Inventor 11 has nothing to do with CNC mill haha. thats just a modeling program, not compatible with milling machines. you need another programs to do such. and not anyone can just have these programs I think, cuz they are expensive. Another forum FAIL

Or you can buy an AEM CAI or Comptech Icebox. Hey a novel concept....buy a product from a CARB-certified, research tested company.

I've got a few questions...Being involved with an ITB project for a 240, I know a little bit about them. What kind of throttle bodies are you using? On 240's, people use GSXR throttle bodies. What linkage method are you using to make them all open with each other? Also, why would you put an airbox on them??? From my experience with putting ITB's in and welding a plenum to them to give the option to still use a MAF or MAP sensor or the ability for forced induction, the gain is significantly less. Even with just headers and exhaust, ITBs don't really give you a whole lot of power unless you've got headwork and cams also to compliment the increase in airflow top-end. Higher compression pistons also help. The ITBs will give great throttle response, but with just a few bolt-ons there's going to be minimal top-end gains, especially with an ?Airbox?.....Also fitment is going to be a bish.

another thing....why use such large diameter intake plumbing when your throttle body is like half the size. If you have all this engineering knowledge you should know that it doesn't make a difference...and it looks kinda tardy when it changes in size abruptly before the tb. And damn, grind down the welds....why didn't you just use a mandrel bender...I thought you'd have access to such equipment.

Just my 2 cents
