ITB vs SC vs Turbo

[sae]

The most common problem in Australia with our cars is that noone really knows how to tune them [oh and haltech costs an arm and a leg]. The same goes for basic n/a mods and FI tuning.

But yeah, out of all three ITB's seem so gangster. Not the best with Australia's weather; hot and cold every second day but if you go through with it i'm sure it'd have merits of its own.

Definitely +1 for being unique

Sell your s and get an Evo.

the only thing wrong with this thread is the 4k budget.

Have you ever gotten a tune from haltech. Coz you are quite wrong there.

[greek_rambos2k]

would you get much gains from an e85 conversion? (keeping it NA)

Yes.
Gains are normally 15-20kw more than your normal 98ron.

This will also depend on your supporting mods and tune.

Selected caltex supplies these but during winter they mix the ethanol blend to suit the winter season. (less ethanol ron)

Something to think about

There are gains with e85 on na but not 15+ like you mentooned. Tgats on fi cars. On na its more like 5kw peak with gains through rev range.

Based on the prices of their Computers alone, i'll happily say that they're bloody expensive.

Maybe but check out an example that BYP tuned on that yellow DC2R with the K20/24 combo.

He has a tune of 98ron vs e85 and it was like approx 15-20kw difference (NA).

I think I know what graph ur.talking abput. There are mid range gains of.about.20kw but peak was only about 5 ish.

If you're sticking NA you won't get much out of your ITB's without atleast all other supporting bolt ons and preferably some head work done as a starter.

You'll need an airbox made up for them to or be destroyed by the first cop to look under the bonnet. Also good idea to have as you can run your ITB's but still have a single big filter for all the air to come through, do not run them unfiltered or you'll **** your shit eventually.

Also you will need an aftermarket computer to run them.
