What's better for a daily driver?

By Eg6_Lover
- Mon Nov 15, 2010 1:21 am #222924 I'm building a 92 hatch and was wondering what would be better for a daily driver with the occasional track visit individual throttle bodies or just a bigger throttle body with short ram intake?

You will feel a big difference with ITB's compared to a intake and TB though. So its all up to you and if you are willing to spend the money on on them.

I have seen ITB's on a turboed Datsun, it is WAY to much of a hassle and it is more than just welding it together because of air velocity and just a whole mess of shit. I will try and find the link.

- Mon Nov 15, 2010 7:20 am #222988 I've seen people make them from crotch rocket(hayabusa) throttle bodies, just hit up a junk yard that takes motorcycles. Then your have to run a engine management like mega squirt, which is completely customizable to your setup. I know it can be done far cheaper than buying a prefabbed setup alone, kind of like a junkyard turbo with mitsu parts. :) .

Oh yeah, and speaking of ITB. How a bout a little inspiration. :D

pretty sure it CAN happen. you have to build a plenum for it

theres an old TE Corolla here in town that has AE101 ITB's with a custom plenum. it is running like a ridiculous turbo that is like 70 trim? or the size of the moon? but its VERY possible.

Idk if its worth the time and all the custom shit but hey its unique and doesn't look bad.

If you have to add a plenum isn't it essentially the same as turboing a regular TB, except the butterflies are on the runners.

Sounds like and overcomplicated way to turbo a car, unless it's done for the sole purpose of saying you did it.

depends how you put it. some set ups make better power with ITB's and a plenum vs an intake manifold and a single throttle body. its just research you have to do. ITB's are great for Top end. that and i was just showing those people that said you cant do it lol.

theres a GTR some where on the Net that switched to ITB's + plenum and make more power vs Manifold and a single throttle body.

for a street setup it might be a little much to do both. but as far as if you do a plenum vs intake manifold

with ITB's and custom plenum you can make it to how you want. a good plenum will make you nice power, and also has better response.

with an intake manifold if you want to port it on the inside like a lot of people want to do you have to cut that shit open do it and re weld it.
