Why aren't more cars using ITBs? they sound so good and sound is everything with a car

cost, packaging (mostly cost) and modern cars use computer controlled throttle and itbs are a bit of a waste of time with that setup.

>expensive
>not easily optimized for torque over a wider range
How are you stupid enough to think that's something regular average cars need?

>forget fun, I've got to win this no name street race or I'll have no self worth

wouldn't it be just as expensive to make and configure an ECU?

lmao no. why do you think everything is digital now?

>maintenance issues
>literally just a fancy inlet

Oh Fuck off

by that logic everyone should be using EVs since it'd be cheaper to make and assemble a battery and brushless motor than a transmission and ICE.

it will be soon. not yet.

but as for now digital music or special effects or engine tuning is cheaper than physical.

Car newfag here, can someone explain what these are and how they work?

no, fuck off

;_;

Someone can, but not on Veeky Forums. Nobody on Veeky Forums even knows the difference between ITBs and side draft Webers. For some strange reason it started to circulate on Veeky Forums that ITB setups make a drastically different sound than other injection systems and it's been being regurgitated for awhile.

I wouldn't mind ITBs but muh hurrspowah

That sounds like a piece of shit.

>not an NA i3

They're a pain in the ass.

you forgot the bias ply tires

>Not a turbo 2 stroke i3
Do you even brap bro?
It would be the ultimate driving machine, couple that with a dog box, and you get the ultimate road machine

>RWD/AWD (no explanation here)
toss all that into a solid platform and the track is yours.

>doesn't care about sound
I bet you prefer Japanese to Italian, you fucking faggot

Define "drastically different." Open ITBs are a lot louder than a typical log style intake manifold.

>not just sticking an electric motor on the turbo and passing it off as a "hybrid"

I know it can be fixed with a tune but I haven't gotten around to it...

Don't fall for his bait japfags

>Ford Fusion tailights

build it fagget

Them sounding good is just a bonus.

the maintenance issues don't come from simply bolting on some fancy inlets. your car has to be remapped to utilise them better, your powerband shifts higher, having to keep the revs higher more often for power.

inlet (and outlet) airflow changes can really do some funky things to your engine performance, it's really interesting.

>your power band shifts higher

if you use short trumpets on there, yes. longer trumpets/runners will increase low end torque and move the power band down

Yeah, depending on the car it's actually difficult to get properly sized trumpets purely due to space issues.

Only car i've had some experience with ITBs with is a clio 182, those can get pretty short because small transverse engine hot hatch

that's true, packaging does have an effect.

>tfw no telescopic variable length runners

Cost and complexity.
