ITB Batch or sequential
Posted: Fri Jul 11, 2014 8:40 pm
I have been searching for a month for a definitive answer, or a similar setup.
VH41de (basic boltons)
Mikuni TB's(01 zx12)
Talking to my friend who's run MS3 before, he suggested microsquirt as simpler and less expensive setup(add the two needed coil drivers for wasted COP) and batch fire the banks. Then he kind of got wishy-washy last minute, and said we might want sequential for the idle tuning ect.
The car is a going to be daily driven. I've read the megamanual on Batch vs Sequential so please don't try to school me in the basics. I would just like to know if anyone has ran a batch fired ITB setup on a street car with good success. What would be say... a percentage of difference in fuel economy between the two? Is the initial start up and idle tuning more difficult with a batch fire? I realize that good streetability is somewhat an owner opinion -I don't need Cadillac smoothness, but I want to make it through the drive through for a cheeseburger occasionally without stalling or surging ect.
Aren't ITB's more delicate in the tuning process? I've almost got this motor back together and I am needing to make a decision on which one... and I am nearing the end of my budget as well. Thanks for the input
