Re: ah hell... what do I do?

It's just a baseline, I have the old school in me that says that anything more than 10:1 power to weight isn't as safe as ppl might claim it to be... and the more power I have, the more I use... so 200 is a safe zone for me.

I'm trying to have fun with my car.. not die in it.. and I'm not one of those psycho wannabe's that wants 600 horses out of my 1.5 litre honda engine.. I know it most likely ain't gonna happen.


The ITB thing is more for the sound than anything, and since it's a *toy* car... I ain't really have a problem with tuning it all the time... I backed out of it though.. I'm going with a regular (ITR pry) manifold.

The ITB's are going in my '85 CRX, except I'm using 4 bike carbs instead of TB's. (So I don't have to piss around with switching from Carb to FI, and just because I feel like it.)

The "common plenum" idea on a ITB setup is for turbo app's mostly, becuase it's harder to split into four pipes (or 5,6,7,8,10,12, as the case may be) than to just put a airbox over the ITB's and push the boost into the box... and no, it doesn't take anything away from having ITB's over a manifold, b/c you still have 4 throttle plates, and they're still flowing more air, and still metering the air PER CYLINDER, as opposed to the air into a common plenum like a manifold.
