You'd have to build custom ITBS.
Its not really worth it, on an LS IMO.
Its not cheap or easy to tune


If youre planning on going boost, you're not going to be able to use these without some major work...

again, not worth it.

itb's benefit high reving engines... not ls' lol

ITB's arent just for topend. when properly sized they will typically gain in the mid range compared to a plenum IM, flaten out your torque curve and give better throttle response. look at some of the stuff jenvy puts out, its really nice.

the best setup out there for a b18b IMHO is a edelbrock performer x IM 65mm tb of your choice thermal IM gasket and a 3" intake with a velocity stack on it. it wont cost a ton, it will be easy to tune and complement the b18b nicely.

if you really want to look into ITB's then start doing alot of reasearch on how to tune them on a honda first.

amen to the edelbrock setup! itb's are a bitch to tune and quite expensive. I''ve seen dyno charts that confirm what every one else has said and it also gives a big boost in peak tork. but again$$$$$$$$$$$
if your still determined to get them check out hayward performance intake systems. the guys does execellent work.
don't go ebay! the people who sell and make those have about as much knowledge on how itb's work as my 8year old niece. and unless you have a flow bench and access to some amazing tools, the custom routes no good either. honda knew what they were doing with the stock intake configuration.
have fun whatever you do!
