be quite a while (year or so) till you could get them off the shelf. i know there is one company who are developing them as we speak
result?
result?
it runs
it runs
quick?
this was very early R&D, length testing and basic cam timing testing.....
we actually hand made the inlet manifold in house for this test...
Does want !! they fit a 1.6 !
Andy way off topic but you guys wouldent happen to be able to get Braided lines for a 1.6 Mk3 would you ???
How much more complex is the 197 to work with?

whats the advantage of them? sorry if hijacking but I have no idea how they work etc would appriciate if some one can explain
should be a bit more info on these soon, as the new runners are made and ready for "hopfully" final testing
An individual throttle is used for each cylinder (4 in the case of the Clio). This has a number of advantages over a single throttle supplying air to all cylinders. There are opportunities for increased power, torque and throttle response. The improvements are possible due to a more direct, free flowing air path.
Here is the view down one throttle: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aMg9mwwP8LY
You can see the inlet ports/valves are directly inline with the inlet trumpet so the air can flow straight to the cylinder with minimal restriction.
Honda S2000 example, not too much gains high up...but great increase in mid-range torque (no bad thing on a Honda...or a 197 for that matter):
Lots scope for tuning the ITB's for your desired performance characteristics through changing length/diameters/injector position etc.
ITB's are a great bit of kit but not worth it if your car dosnt see the Red Line on a daily basis imo
