they are small for itb's anyways.


I didn't know they were THAT small, fuck that.

there only small if you think you can ONLY use 50mm+  itb's.

45mm is not going to feed a high rpm 2.0l hoping for 240 whp worth a shit, if it would I would run bike shit over obx for higher quaility anyways.

Start doing your homework. Maybe some of the new cycle stuff got bigger from when i was doing alot of it. My assumption is they most likely did and can be bored 2-3mm larger



The only thing that will cost money is buying the cycle itb's+machine work. I still think it can be done for under 600 bucks even if you go the route of having the throttle bodies bored.

Iirc, it is quite common to bore out the 44mm zx-14 throttle bodies to 46mm.

M1000's run a pair of 50mm throttle bodies for a ~160hp so with 4 of them they should easily support the 240hp you are looking for.

I really want this to be a turbo setup, but since you're so set on at least trying N/A, I might as well help out a bit...

For more options 2009-10 CRF450R's used 50mm throttle bodies too, the 2011's dropped down to a 46mm something about throttle response or marketing hype or...
