Individual Throttle Bodies (ITBs) offer an alternative to the factory intake manifold setup on the Nissan 350Z, aiming to improve engine performance. The process involves replacing the single throttle body with individual throttle bodies for each cylinder, thereby optimizing airflow and potentially increasing horsepower and throttle response. This modification generally necessitates aftermarket engine management systems for correct operation.
The adoption of ITBs can yield benefits such as enhanced engine responsiveness and increased power output, particularly at higher RPMs. Historically, ITBs have been employed in racing applications to maximize engine potential. The modification, however, requires significant tuning and potentially supporting modifications to fully realize its advantages.
