Adding ITB to 2NZ... Big power gains

Then you can only make so much torque from that much air/fuel pushing the piston down.

The only real options for low end or mid range power are forced induction or more displacement.

Or otherwise, changing the gearing can make an incredible difference.

Also when the motor doesnt completely fall over on its face when you rev it some more, it definitely changes your driving style a bit.

I've owned this car for 8 years completely 100% stock, since 30,000km old and I've always driven it like a complete nanna. As it doesnt want to rev, so you end up shifting short anyway.

But when that top end power is available, you use it!

More so when C56 is fitted :D

My 1NZ-FE is the same way, I shift it at 2000rpm most of the time when I'm casually driving. I'm in 5th by 60-65km/h.
