6 Individual Throttle bodies, a la a typical race setup. Probably not a great for a street application, might (almost definitely will) require ECU tuning.

Because they use open horns... no filters.

I've kinda been doing a little research on this car anf this is what I can add to this. There is a type 1 and type 2 Tommy Kaira Z. The type 2 just adds the individual throttle bodies and an ECU which is a MoTec M806. When I did the rough conversion of their 2 kits the fully converted type 1 car was 5,000,000 yen or about $46,000. The fully converted type 2 car is 7,480,000 yen or $68,721. So you can come to your own conclusions there about the cost of this throttle setup. Some more info is here

that's fully converted right? i could be very wrong but i would assume that tommy kaira would put a few more things on a fully converted z, possibly other engine mods or suspension maybe. like i said, i could be very wrong, just throwing something out there.

Well I browsed over the list, and both cars have everything on them, the only difference between the two is the throttle bodies and the ecu. That is what makes the 22,000 difference I guess

I stand corrected.

Traditionally when I see a car running ITBs, they are without filters.

Can you find out prices for ONLY that piece? One might be interested!

I've asked about 2 months ago, but they wouldn't say at that time.. i'm getting the sense that most of the new products are going to be introduced at the January tokyo auto salon

Maybe because of the Ecu? It said they lost VDC and TCS on the type 2 Z because of the motec.
