    I so want to run IRTBs. Maybe if I lived in an area where more people have done it so I can pick their brains.

    These have been discussed many times over all the forums. No one has gone out and bought a set to find out. I don't blame anyone either. It is a huge gamble.
    1990 Miata, she was red but now she is Spirit Green!

    Seeing as the full Jenvey kit is $1200 shipped I see no reason to gamble on OBX garbage.

    "Hi, The quality of OBX is not good, and there is not the support from OBX at all. It is attractive only that Bore of the throttle is big. I recommend T3. However, When use a ae101 ITB. you must make a small throttle pulley. In the pulley of AE101, only 70% of throttles open."
    "I didn't use a fuel rail of kit. I was build the itb by other OBX fuel rail. And... TPS is BMW318. OBX engineer said TPS of Honda s2000 will fit to this itb. but I'm not sure."

    $1200 shipped? The only place I've seen is rev9 at the $1750 price.

    You can change the currency in the bottom-left corner. It might not be Rev9's fault, everything automobile in Canada seems to have a ridiculous price, I just assume they got bad taxes or something.

    also after a quick look the one straight from jenvey does not state anything about a TPS, linkage kit, Linkage Braket & Rod TB Over, or Air Control Valve Kit where the rev9 one does. maybe those are what increase the price so much at rev9?

    Rev9 seems to be a full kit ready to just bolt on. I asked jenvey over email a few months back and its basically what you see in the photo. Sadly going ITB seems to be a case of a lot of little extras making it almost cost as much as FI... Still love the sound but I could not justify the price.

    You can get everything from Jenvey, I asked them a two years ago.

    We have all those parts in stock. The cost will be 831gbp + Carriage
    Shipping to Norway will be around 45gbp.
    831 gbp is 1391 usd.

    No, without.
    Sorry, that quote could look a bit misleading.

    I heard nothing but problems out of the OBX ITB setups.
