Hey I've just been recently looking at ITB's and I was just wondering if anyone here has them?

Just wanting to know pros and cons of them? Rough price of how much it would cost to get professionally set up. Also how much of a power increase they are? I understand that it isn't all that great, just wanting to know.

Thanks :-)

And yes, I know that this is obviously not suited as a daily driver haha, just wanting to know some information if anyone has the spare time. Thanks :-)

John, 20V 4AGE motors came with factory ITB/Velocity stacks. What people have been doing is buying two of these and making up adapter plates.
Would end up being cheaper over buying factory ones such as Toda

Remember the 4AGE whilst a great motor for its time and size is only 1.6lt. They are too small and guys looking for more HP out of a 4AGE normally fit bigger ones. Hence why there are plenty of the stock 4age ITB's floating around but they are really only suited to a stock 3.2lt V8.

The biggest restriction on the intake is the lower manifold which some of the ITB conversions don't remove.

If you are after a cheap setup I would look at replacing the lower manifold with larger short straight runners.
