i am curious were can i find an itb set up for my b18b...i have found countless setups for a type r and gsr but im having a hard time finding info on the 1'ns for an ls...i found a few but not much info and didnt say were to purchase...also found a few that were custom made(gsx-r tb on custom im) not trying to go this route but i guess i will if i have to...im trying to get as much out of my all motor as i can and im thinking this is the next route...also i read on a ls it gets 15whp gain but if you have anymore info on this i would greatly appreciat it...

 

Is your motor a fully built high compression engine with a ported head and great exhaust? ITB's usually don't net too much power without a built motor. There are a few companies out there that build custom ITB setups that will run you in the $2000 area. Don't forget you will also be dropping some good cash on the tune too.

 

obx has some for cheap for about $799 compared to other companies that want $12-1500
do a search and see what you find. honda tech have a few threads with info on them. i think the obx looks ok and the price is not bad. you will def need a tune as they are difficult to maintain a proper idle.

 

yes its going on a fully built motor and i am going to vega for the tune and i am more than ready to spend the day and about all my bank account getting it tuned lol...but i looked in honda-tech thats were i got the idea lol but like i said its all like gsr's and type-r's or custom shyt for an ls...i want a company that makes it for an ls and a website to that company...thnx for the help tho'...

 

sounds like u just need a vtec head lol.....

 

dont wanna go that route...i hate lsvtec...its a fad it will fade...

 

I guess its a fad. I know people who have been doing it since 98-99. That's a long lasting fad imo. Even endyn built a b20 that was either sleeved or bored past 84 mm and put a vtec head on it and made something crazy like 300 with the motor. It works, it just needs to be built correctly. All this is neither here nor there tho, I was joking about what I was saying about u needing a vtec head, but what I'm saying is all motor requires flow, starting off with a restrictive head is shooting urself in the foot. The vtec heads flow more than some ported ls heads, plus the rocker design in it is a little better suited for high rpm use. If you did decide to go ls vtec itb, would definitely be a force to be messed with, even if you did a vtec killer set up without the vtec.

 

You will make way more power adding a vtec head with a stock intake manifold than ITB's will ever add. I built my first lsvtec back in 99, hardly a fad, lol.

 

and it is still running strong to this day.

 

The Ls/Vtec route your not trying to take, is the route you should. Ls heads flow shitty, hands down.
