Does anyone make a DBW ITB kit?
I know several offer ITB's but the SOS kit and Toda are cable, i rather have DBW as it retains more factory features.
Also adding to this, does anyone make a intake box or filter kit as a option?
Thanks
I think I owe you a reply somewhere. Your SN looks familiar. Anyway...
There are no DBW ITBs currently available that i'm aware of. I helped HQ Engineering retrofit a DBW actuator on a modified ASM/SOS ITB kit. ASM is prototyping a setup now but who knows on future availability.
No off the shelf intake plenum or filter options available either. Mine is a setup retrofited to the ASM ITBs.
Sorry we couldn't be of more help. As, @
MotorMouth93 eluded to... ITBs are awesome. They're intricate, precise, and mechanically busy and complicated, but if I knew nothing about engines and if I didn't have the patience to learn... i'd really have to have access to a good tuner/mechanic that will set it up and regularly maintain it for me. Otherwise, as car nerds get exited about solving problems that come up with ITBs, the casual enthusiast will likely get frustrated. I'm not sure where on this spectrum you are
Even factory ITB setups require occassionaly resync'ing and linkage maintenance. They're like mechanical watches.
With that said, both @
MotorMouth93 and I have gotten our ITB setups running pretty darn well. For the most part, mine operates like a stock engine. I still have some minor issues to work out but that's really a function of my available time to tinker with it but on any given day I can fire up the car and go for a kickass drive. (Well... that was before this wknd....). If you decide to go down this path please post on here! We'd love to help.
I *almost* developed a DBW system on the ASM ITBs but my current ECU doesn't support DBW as well as i'd like so i'm sticking with cable throttle for the time being. DBW with ITBs opens up so many possibilities! It may actually simplify a lot of things like idle control, cold start, AC compensation, and such.
