Individual Throttle Bodies on a M44?

[NZ00Z3]

Has anyone had a play with Individual throttle bodies (ITB) on their M44 Z3?

Came across this product and the brain started pondering about performance increases.

Looks like quite a kit for those of us with the little engine that could!! Please keep me advised if you are going to proceed in a PM, JIM

The M has ITBs and it makes a difference, but you are still constrained by a single MAF, and an ECU that doesn't control individual cylinders.

The main advantage of the ITBs will be the ability to tune the "trumpets".

I wouldn't spend $1600 without making sure that is the best bang for my bucks.

I'm doing some very serious research into how to improve my M and I'm finding weaknesses in many areas. The difficulty is working out where to spend the least to gain the most.

Mmmm shiny. All that shiny. Think I'll stick to black plastic, not fond of polishing things.

Thank you for your comments. I'll do a little more research. It might be something for the long winter nights that are only a few months away.

Sorry mate, but that's music to my ears, as it means summer is a comin'. Good luck with finding some extra power, and then finding space to keep the new Pet.
