ITBs also drastically change throttle response and characteristics

Very very very few engines without major modifications actually benefit from ITBs. I've personally seen a few VW and Honda frankenengines benefit from 42-50mm ITBs. (GSX-R, R1, etc)
Usually there's a lot lost in down-low torque. Throttle response IS improved, that is true. -------------------- 1993 Celica GT Coupe - sold

-------------------- Learned a lot in 10 years... I hardly log in anymore, last login Today Sept 6 2019, and I was forced just to clarify a post. LOL
If you PM me and I dont respond, dont fret or cry. Im alive, better post your questions in the thread below, maybe I log back in 2grfe Swapped... Why I chose the 2GR, before you ask read here... A great civilization is not conquered from without until it has destroyed itself from within. @llamaraxing in Instagram is the best way to find me. I hardly log here anymore. |

Im trying to decide whether or not it would be more cool factor or if it would benefit more over a SARD intake. And its hard to judge since I havent seen much(any) documentation on power outputs of them. If they are feasible to do, and I have some money for them, I will probably do it.

nowhere near the same power output and a bit more involved then dropping in a beams, and I am looking at the fastest way to get back on the track.

Since I am not racing...might as well get back to shooting!
 but as I said...I sick to death of taking pictures of this car, If I go up to CSP I will be lugging around my equipment, so maybe I can get some great shots of some other celicas. Calendar is coming up soon too, I might take the reigns on that. -------------------- 1995 GT::::Diffusing the Situation エキサイティングカーレーシングチーム! march 2010 COTM : 6GC feature 2014 : january 2015-2016-2018 COTM |

Mostly everything has been sourced for the build except for the EMS which at the moment my best lead is Aaron at ATS racing. All he really needs to button up their PnP EMS for the Beams is a Base tune. All the other odds and ends that will inevitably arise during the swap I will tackle when I get there.
Other than that I just need to motor! The car is going back to the garage in November, so sadly not much more time with the sturdy ol 5SFE. -------------------- 1995 GT::::Diffusing the Situation エキサイティングカーレーシングチーム! march 2010 COTM : 6GC feature 2014 : january 2015-2016-2018 COTM |

Cool When you have a bit of time you should write it all up (unless you are waiting for a big reveal) Are you going for a lightweight flywheel too? You didn't mention one a few pages ago when you said you were going BEAMS. And did you end up getting the cams you were talking about? I am going to be doing a BEAMS build in January so I am watching closely, because you always seem to do stuff right!

how in depth I write up my progress depends on how frustrated I get when I am doing the work hahaha. And its inevitable some things are going to infuriate me along the way.
I am going to go with a lightweight FW. Thank you for reminding me too because I had planned on keeping my 5SFE clutch setup for the motor rather than going with a hybrid setup. I need to look at the differenced and pro/con's of the 5SFE and 3SGE flywheel. I found cams at an OK price, they are mild, comprable to the colt cams for the 5sfe. I hope I get mine started by then! Ill keep an eye on your build! -------------------- 1995 GT::::Diffusing the Situation エキサイティングカーレーシングチーム! march 2010 COTM : 6GC feature 2014 : january 2015-2016-2018 COTM |
