I really want itb's for cavi 2.2. I have 2 grand will that cover the costs of a machine shop making them? What do I need to look into for throttle bodies?
search for skwirl he put hybusa t.b's on his cavy

yea never finished the fab process
motorcycle throttle bodies will work, and can usually be found on ebay
there's pretty complicated mathematics to figure out your power increase and for what rpm you want it at, which takes into account the runner volume
for a 2200 it'd be a lil more interesting since the intake is on the firewall side
it'd be an awesome upgrade for an all motor car but is difficult to make without the help of an outside company like TWM induction

PJ is right, there is much more to it than just throwing them together. Eurospec m3's came with factory itb's, and the runners are designed for perfect sound resonance and intake pulse. A lot of enineering went into them. But if you have the time and money I say go for it.
Unless you have over 10:1 compression, a built valvetrain, and a cam wild enough to make use of that valvetrain, ITB's will do very little for you. Don't get me wrong, I love ITB's, but they are simply not practical for a 2200 engine until that motor has had WAY more than $2k worth of work put into it.
