If you want suspension like what I've got on the S2K, Evo, and all of the rest of my cars, Fortune Auto is offering 5% on a bunch of their models with the code GEARS, along with free shipping with the code FREESHIP. They want to do something for our fans, and we're huge fans of them, so if you want to save like $200 on a set of 510s, hit them up!

[@ricardocasalkam]

for the idle control/compensation for the A/C , you can get the old school diaphragms (the ones that are used with carburetors) that works with engine vacuum, to pull a little bit the throttle lever (they are adjustable)

[@falkor3865]

It's don't have a lot of manifold vacuum; could run an external canister

[@ricardocasalkam]

@@falkor3865 they don't need a lot of vacuum, and during idle is where most of the vacuum occurs I mean is worth trying for an easy fix. They use a little bypass solenoid to activate the diaphragm only when the ac is on, so you can control it with the haltech

[@nedyahyakcam]

Or just use a modern ecu with a stepper motor

He had me at "and we're at Starbucks", amazing. The engine is lookin fantastic too! Great stuff!

[@all-flat-engines]

7:14 depending on how many vacuum ports you have on your ITB's you can run a line from each throttle body into a collector and then an old-school bleeder style Idle air control valve which almost all stand-alone ECU's support. It basically creates a controlled vacuum leak to speed up or slow engine idle (also good for de-acceleration and popping conditions)

[@michaelblacktree]

I actually did this with a street driven ITB motor. It worked great. BTW you can also get your MAP signal and brake booster vacuum from the vacuum collector.

[@all-flat-engines]

@@michaelblacktree Thats a good point too, you can use a separate vacuum collector for your MAP which helps calm down some of the vacuum reference flutter you see on ITB's + aggressive cams. Helps to get a steady reading as each Throttle body pulses its intake cycle. (helps for daily driven ITB's)

[@michaelblacktree]

Yeah it smooths out the pressure pulses. But it's still responsive enough to give good readings.

[@toe-b203]

I know a lotta guys do this with dcoe carbs too. Granted those setups don't really need vacuum advance, but I've heard it helps

[@Skirk84]

I have an f20c in my Corolla, It revs to 10,600, and makes 192kw atw (257hp). Currently has 110,000km's on the engine and still going strong. I run ITB's. 145mm trumpets in an inclosed box, with a 4.5" feed to an airbox and a 5" feed to the front bar. It runs 13.2:1 comp, forged internals, 1mm oversized valves and custom exhaust manifold into a 3.5" exhaust, dropping down to a 3" rear and 3" straight through muffler. Very quick little car, weighing in at 1050kg. Timing well is all you need for idle, i can jump off the clutch at the lights with no throttle and the car will idle up and drive.

[@93455Driver]

G&G camera work and editing are awesome, just makes the videos easy and enjoyable to watch.

[@mr.cangieter8758]

EFI hardware sells a device that will let you convert the ITBs to dbw activation. It's really nice. A few people use it on the BEAMS 3SGE engine (formula 3). Driftworks used it on their Lamborghini.

[@theodevries4681]

Fantastic content guys! Really loving the longer episodes

[@draggonhedd]

If you guys put a vacuum port on each intake runner, and run a vacuum hose into a common vacuum manifold, you can put an IAC valve on that vacuum manifold to do fine idle control and AC idle boost. Its also a good place to put a MAP sensor. I have typically seen IAT sensor strapped in front of one of the trumpets, probably about the best you can do.

[@AndorRadnai]

I learned about ITBs a few months ago, and now I am really really excited to see how this is going to drive, to live with, etc. One of the most elegant modifications one can do to a car, in my opinion.

[@BRICKHOUSESPL]

[@hiepphambui3941]

If I may make a suggestion, ITBs can still be housed in an airbox/intake manifold with a big air intake tube. It's not gonna restrict the air flow, it may even streamline it. That's how the E46 M3 CSL gets its air intake. Trust me, I'm a mechanical engineering specializing in fluid and thermal sciences.

[@paigeweber5492]

[@swaroopajit]

I'm surprised nobody was talking about the music( I think it's a Sitar). Really neat choice for music, loved it!

[@therealpofo]

Should build an air box for the ITB's especially sense it will be street driven. It wont be as cool when you open your hood, but it will allow you to get cold air from out of the engine bay. But i'm sure you know this already.

[@isaactrockman4417]

And stop dirt from immediately ruining the engine

[@michaelblacktree]

Idle control with ITBs is do-able, if your ECU can support an old school ICV. Drill a port in each intake runner, and run them to a vacuum manifold. Then you can attach an ICV to the vacuum manifold. It's also a convenient place for your MAP sensor and brake vacuum line. I had to do that with a street driven ITB motor, ironically.

[@robertscarborough9784]

Cool music this video Last video's music was really good! I love the music that I can jam along to the build with XD

[@rjc862003]

could drill out the runner behind the throttle blades and install a IAC valve in each runner. then program the ECU to operate the duty cycle to maintain the desire rpm, option b drill and plumb a 1/2 line between all the ITBS and connect a single IAC valve to the end of the line

Does K20 have a balance shaft? If you delete the balance shaft is it possible to balance the engine up to 10k? Or does it have a shaft and you keep it? I have a Mazda B2600i and I'm considering deleting the balance shaft. It's a 2.6L I4. I'm installing an Eaton M62 supercharger on it. Should be fun. Toyota Rear axle with Toyota Supra LSD.

[@shevaughngolding490]

For the filing of the car you could just put a hold in the bottom of the itb and thread it and run some hose from there to a external idle valve

[@CorpseExplosion]

This series is amazing and agonising. Now the wait begins all over again for the next episode.

[@toddxhiggins]

Yeah those sphericals will get a bit harsh if you just want a fun street cruiser. If/when you do swap back to rubber I'd recommend origin fab offset upper bushings for front to help get more camber and keep a spherical bushing in the front compliance bushing spot (the big inner one). It's common for the Oem and aftermarket rubber ones to fail after a bit

[@lorenzomercado8073]

[@dublocivic3656]

Something seems off. VTC is reporting that you are getting cam advance I am sure.. I wonder if there is something faulty with the VTC sensor. It falls off after 8K, I wonder if it is holding your pre-vtec advance command and sticking rather than dialing back as RPM builds. 3.2s, added compression, and itbs should carry/peak well into the 9s. If it is still falling off after 8, once get the 4-1 header on it and on a 3 inch + exhaust, check to make sure that your VTC values through the sweep are hitting targets. If so, test the voltage on that sensor just to make sure it is operating properly through the rpm sweep.
