Default Individual throttle bodies?

M3's had it first, I know they do it to Trueno, and Honda motors too (B-series?). But is it possible for our F20c? Just wondering .

I heard that the F20C will actually explode if you put individual throttle bodies on it.

With enough money, all (almost) things are possible. How deep are your pockets?

There is another thread covering it. Someone is looking for financial backing.
Go for it!

Actually the problem isn't exploding engines (where'd that one come from?) it is the balancing of vacuum signals. The ecu can't handle it.

With an aftermarket ecu it wouldn't be all that hard. I saw one set on a Miata and it really made it responsive!

I heard that they can break the motor mounts and the motor will be spinning around the engine bay like a helicopter.

WTF? Your sources are messed up.....

Anyways you can have ITBs no problem , you just need stand alone to run it.
