very possible.....it is called direct port N2O.....


I would guess it isn't going in an F-body since there is no room under the hood.....too bad because I would love to have an individual runner/TB setup....

personally that is a lot of money to spend just to get the 8 tb setup. I would do it only if you have a HUGE cam and really need to. Otherwise aside from the cool factor you are better off with a standard intake and direct port. I am actually fabbing my own 8 tb setup. One of these days I'll post up pics when I get the design worked out a little more.

Why would you say that?
Have you ever heard or tried to tune a 240ish cam with 106lsa on an A4?
They do it in Aussie and you should hear that thing idle (like a 224)
Tune is SD (mafless)
Drawback so far is price, like $4000 Australian $$ for a set up.

Itb's have been around for a long time because you can make damn near any cam idle like stock, throttle response is insanely good, and will out perform one large throttle body. They also allow a lot more tunability and greater power potential on the same sized motor because of the ability to stuff an insanely huge cam into the motor and have it idle and drive like stock in the lower rpms. Only draw back is the price. The only individual throttle body setup i have seen for our cars is what has been mentioned by predator-z. Can't remember the webpage but ill try to find it.

This is a nice piece To fit it in an Fbody you would probably have to fab your own intake box though.

thats a kinsler setup. looks just like the c5r stacks.

ITBs are the BEST when you are an NA *****. many NA hondas run ITBs because thats the best setup available for NA. running HUGE cams and run/idle like stock.

you can always cut out 8 holes on your hood and call your setup "rice"
