Here is his website, with morepics of the Engine:

i don't see why it wouldnt be possible. Just very expensive... but i say get a Haltech or something along those lines and go for it!
BTW IIRC by putting TWM ITB's on an S2000 and after tuning they (TWM) got as much as 40hp and 30tq to the wheels at various points in the powerband. pretty impressive...

and the only place i've seen them called IRTB's was on a miata forum. I think ITB's makes more sense and is used more frequently

Did you look at the site? Cause I was sure it said IRTB on the site even. And Gen1GT on the Clubprotege.com fourms says IRTB along with all of the other highly involbed N/A power people. So IRTB is actually the more common and correct saying.

WTF does the "R" stand for then?

How do you keep dust & dirt out of your engine with no filters on the throttle bodies?

Well here is what the guy was saying in his site... i Dont see IRTB anywhere...

New Beast Breathing Fire - May 14, 2004: My new project is just about complete. I decided to sell the Supercharger and pursue a unique power upgrade that I had only seen in print from Japan to date. Individual (fuel injected) Throttle Bodies have been around the Eunos enthusiasts for years in Japan, but sadly the US market never saw a unified kit made for the masses. While we (the US market for example) continue to place value and our egos in HP numbers, I wanted something that not only sounded good but something that was rare and unique - and yet allow me to use this as a daily driver if needed. What you see here is the first R.S. Aizawa ITB 1.8 NA8 kit on a US Miata. Coupled with the very strong and versatile HKS F-Con Pro ECU, this setup is a very cohesive and integrated that works practically flawlessly. More info to follow shortly. For now there is some engine clean-up that is needed with some vac lines and wiring looms.

AMENDMENT: Added a Koyo dual radiator after a freak accident when my original radiator exploded during idle testing with the ITB setup. We later found out that the pesky Mazdaspeed 1.3 bar cap I had been using was just too much for the OEM radiator (was fine up to this point for 4 years). Thank god we shut the engine down and closed up the runners as soon as the explosion happened. Very scary stuff. Stick with your factory radiator cap!

March 14, 2004: I found a used Racing Beat stainless header that I am in simply in love with. Excellent construction and incredible mid to high torque and HP increase, this set of pipes was exactly what the Tater needed with the upcoming ITB setup. This was also one of the easiest headers I have installed to date. RB really put some money into development on this one.

And-- when you arent at a show-- you can put filters on them:

Well on the left side it says "RS Aizawa IRTB Install" THen he uses ITB in the explanation. But ya I have always seen people use IRTB because thats what the guys who I talk to use. But I guess people just use ITB for short for some reason...
