Bolt on ITB Kit?

Hello All,
I have been searching for quite some time for a straight bolt on ITB (Individual Throttle Body) in kit form for my 2000 Civic Si. All of the ITBs I have seen come up short as far as being bolt on. For example, what do you do for an air box connection to the ITBs? If individual filters are installed, then they will flow hot engine air - not good. From what I have heard, the throttle position sensor that comes with the ITBs are typically not plug in compatible with the stock ECU. No vacuum chamber is supplied for the brake booster or cruise control - I would have to MacGyver one up along with an air box connection? I have also read some articles on home made ITBs using GSXR1000 throttle bodies, but the problem is that they look home made. No offense to the home tinkerer, that's often how break through discoveries are made. I don't mind if I need to tweak with A/F mixture with a A/F controller to fine tune the ITBs, but I don't want to replace the ECU completely with a stand alone unit, as some ITBs require. Does such a bolt on ITB kit exist?
Thank you,
Justin

Re: Bolt on ITB Kit?

From everything I remember, there are no bolt on ITB's, ECU and tuning and COMPRESSION are needed to make decent power with them, plus a pain to get working right for a street car. Also, I beleive TODA once made some ITBs for the B18C5, so look around for a used set maybe.
