If you have the money and patience give TWM a call. They are pretty helpfull if you are serious about adding ITB's to your engine and you dont just ask what if types of questions.

Originally posted by TTwompI have 45MM TWM ITBs and a custom manifold just about done if anyone wants to go this route. Also have and SDS EM2 to run it.
Just a thought

A friend has them on his 16v 4AG. They free'd up a few horsepower, although the truly amazing attribute that they give is the response - he can blip the throttle 5 times a second at any RPM and the motor responds instantly.
Power loss/gain can usually be altered by tailoring the runner length (longer for more torque at low RPM, shorter for higher rev's). If you use some wire-reinforced silicone boots, which are expensive but prevent collapse under vacuum, you can alter both the length of the horns and the runners downstream from the bodies.
You could run Megasquirt/Megajolt for fuel delivery and spark control for around $200 a kit, and either wire it up yourself of bring it to a shop that deals in such things (www.xatracing.com if you're anywhere close to Tampa).
If you go the bike throttle route, which is a good one, you could probably get some GSX-R 750 bodies for a few hundred bucks and either use their injectors or attempt salvage part of your KA manifold to use the KA injectors. Either way, an ITB setup will give you the ultimate response for under $1k (or under $750 if you are selective with where you spend your money).

I see ITBs on SOHC KAs quite a bit, and they seem to be the preferred engine for Autocrossers and club racers - is there any reason other than low rotating mass, low weight, and high compression?
