Does anyone have any info about the tommy kaira individual throttle bodies, Cmon whose ready to take this thing to the touge showdown against the AE hachiroku and the
skyline gt-are ya with me? ahhaha.

 

ohh by the way i just thought of the ultimate engine< tomei or nismo full engine set up with high revving capabilities and idividual throttle bodies and a tilton flywheel and clutch. ooooh. VRoom VRoom. Peel, orange peel

 

haha yeah I was looking into the tommy kaira itb kit as well but if I remeber correctly it costs as much as a turbo kit.

 

oh yeah plus it gets rid of the maf so I don't know how you'd replace that without the ecu going crazy. Once the ecu scene gets fully figured out I may look into doing a custom setup.

 

to make it work you would need a stand alone. this mod would probably be best combined with extensive head work and an increased rev limiter. it would produce gains mostly in the top end and possibly lose power down low, i would expect 15 hp from 5000+. its the kind of thing you do to an extreme na motor and as the last mod of a list. also it is useless for f/i

 

why would it be useless for fi? doesn't the skyline have itb's, I remember someone telling me that.

 

ever tried working out 6 individual intakes to an intercooler? i wouldnt want to even try and make that fit under the hood

 

Well.. with itb's for turbo applications.. instead of having the throttle body rotor in front of the intake manifold.. the rotors are inside the manifold.. so running itb's with f/i is not impossible...

 

It is possible to use ITBs with FI, you just enclose them all in a big plenum. Don't know if it could be done on a Zed without cutting up the bonnet due to the them being on top.

Also I believe the TK ones come with a replacement Motec ECU which is part of the reason they're so expensive.

 

Here are some photos of them

hey powertrip this kinda off-topic but how do you like your xerd headers? Any downsides to them? Good power increase?

 

very good gains across the board. i like em alot! havent dynoed in a while but i like how they are test pipes and headers in one, the primaries on these are very long. if your staying na i recommend these if you dont run cats, but if you do go with the crawfords

 

very cool. how much did you get them for and where at?

 

got them used for $500 shipped a member was getting rid of his car and wanted rid of them

 

i love the response now i know more, thanks guys, go new ecu i didn't know that, i bet its optimized for high octene japanese fuel , sucks to beat a cali gas station but the beach and sun rocks.haha
