im going to check these out when Im home from work.
Just curious, how do the performance gains of IRTB's compare with the forced induction options? Give or take the pricing looks to be about the same, and right now I can only imagine how damn good the IRTB system sounds. Looks 10x better than any turbo or s/c too.
I still don't understand why folks love the Stook clip so much...those exhausts are annoying and the car is unfiltered...WAAY too loud for public streets, IMHO.
I like it because its like an outlaw race car on the street. If you want attention its a good way to get it short of a Lamborghini Gallardo or Ford GT. It's probably a fun toy but too loud to be a daily driver.
There's something to be said for stealth and not drawing attention to one's self. I'm pretty sure the silent break away characteristics of the Falken Azenis tires have saved me from getting pulled over more than once.
too bad one of the clips don't work, and nobody even opens it up all the way except for that seven.
always loved that s2k clip, sounds amazing.
never heard a miata sound that nice...
although itb's aren't for everybody, i've owned boosted cars and naturally aspirated cars. and in most cases i prefer driving a moderately quick n/a car over a faster boosted car.
its hard to explain in detail, but reguardless of how good of a tune, the boosted power feels like soggy dog poop in comparison to the crisp snappy feel of a nicely tuned n/a car. the throttle response, the linear power, itb's would just make these qualitys all the more wonderful.
After getting to drive Jimmy's IRTB car at the Gap i'm sold. Only problem is he currently doesn't have a well developed kit for the BP-ZE (VVT Motor) Anyone know of a good kit for this motor? I've talked with Ocean from www.chikaramotorsports.com they seem the furthest along with the new motor, but using the Freedom ECU which is all in Japanese is way over my head. Does anyone think the Hydra would able to control everything?? Its my goal to be running standalone by next autocross season since my car runs in CSP, I think the IRTB's would be a great mod to accompany this. But I've just started my research...
I've already got that in the works Bryan.. my little secret until it gets here... I'll give you a hint its runs on a clutch and says Made in Japan all over it...
Anybody no the difference in the NB manifolds. Garage star’s adds say 99/2000 and if you look at technotoy’s web sight they say there manifold is for 01-05 nb’s. Neither is available new.
May be buying a second hand one and am curious if there is a difference. I have a vvt in my car.
As I'm piecing together all the parts for my build I figured I'd start a thread with links to resources to help people who plan on installing Toyota Corolla Levin AE101/AE111 4A-GE quad individual throttle bodies onto their Mazda Miata.
You'll want the following items:

With the engine out i took the opportunity to test fit a new brake booster delete plate design.
A mate helped with the design after a discussion about ITB runner length issues in RHD mx5s . A well credentialed mechanical engineer, this bloke is good to throw ideas about with. I noted the few...
Re: NB Technotoy Irtb manifold
Hi, I am new here. Start to build a ITB to a VVT engine. I have no idea how to connect the air flow sensor & IAT after install the ITBs.
Can someone share me some guidelines ?
