New LB builder in Reading

is there any audio difference to having ITBs as opposed a single TB ?

pros seems to be better throttle response ? but cons are trickier to setup ?

or have I missed anything more important ?

cheers (from the ITB newbie) ... LOL

you can get more induction noise from itb's, but it depends if they are into an air box, or with more open type filtering

itb's can if done properly give more power or more torque... the length of the trumpets being important to extract the maximum

Dawie de Villiers offered me an engine similar to this one (2012)... a non turbo engine but with one huge inlet butterfly as opposed to individual ITB's

I'm a fan of ITBs. Jenevey is only setup available for the Alfa and I wanted summat different - so I had my own manifolds designed and made

and used some very short Jenvey ITBs. Just ordered some trumpets to fit. I know Craig at LB is also looking at ITB setups. A Busso V6 on ITBs sounds

does Craig @ LB go on this forum ?

I see there is a Jenvey option on the LB pricelist ... does anyone know if this is just an adaptor to allow them to be used or the full kit including the ITBs and everything needed to get them installed ?

LPH any completed pics of the engine bay plz ? and how did your build compare to the standard setups ? just curious ... don't suppose you have dyno graphs ?

soooo many options on the STR ... good job I have a build queue to wait in line for so I can hopefully get everything planned

Hi Raj

Craig does use the forum but probably best to directly email him with specific questions about options etc.

The Jenvey kit is complete as far as I know. It's manifolds, ITBs, trumpets, linkages etc.

My engine is still not in the car - still don't have my rebuilt gearbox back! So no dyno yet I'm afraid.

yup .. as it happened I had an email from Craig with lots of useful information in it

one big question I have left is do I source the parts separately, eg go I look for an engine and then a gearbox etc ... or do I need to buy a donor car to get a V5 ?

Sorry for this newbie kit car question ... LOL
