ITBs 370Z

Those things would sound sooooo bad ***!!

That would be incredible. If they ever have a 95%-off sale, I'll totally buy em

Looks good. But sounds expensive by the time you're all done. Imo

Since the VQ is a drive by wire throttle system and these ITB's are setup for a cable driven throttle system, the car will need to be converted to a cable pedal setup as well as either a speed density or Alpha-N standalone engine management system. This modification is for serious engine builds only and requires professional installation and tuning.

Yep. Sounds VERY expensive. Racing team-only expensive.

Those are NOT bolt-ons. There is ALOT of work to set those up. BUT it would be neat!

Man if that were plug and play I'd buy it right now

We can share and split the cost 6 ways

Stand alone and mustang TB cable system...

Waiting on a text from a friend who's running a cable on his 600whp DE Z!

Switch to HR heads, possibly re-use the lower intake manifold, bolt these suckers on, and find someone to code the ECU for throttle control?

i've got $20 on it. we don't even have to install them on my car. all im asking is for a ride every once in a while lol.

UNKNOWN_370 · 12-10-2012, 01:14 PM

I'd rather sell my Z and buy a car with a stock turbo and buy intake, exhaust, boost controller, turbo timer and tune. Another 10k in brake and suspension upgrades. $5k+ labor in k in a throttle body after the $4k purchase? Laughable.

phunk · 12-10-2012, 01:25 PM

VVEL with a really really nice plenum and intake runner setup should be able to do everything and more than ITB conversion?

Kingbaby · 12-10-2012, 08:22 PM

My friend confirmed that it's not too much of a pain. It's all in running the cable efficiently, once that's out the way standalone engine management and you're good to go !

8k later
