I had a very early start this morning for a trip over to Revelation Motorsport to catch up with Josh and Tim.
The reason I was there is I am an early tester for something particularly exciting they’re developing: a prototype plenum and inlet manifold for a Drive-By-Wire ITB setup running 8 injectors 4 downstream and for upstream.
For anyone who has toyed with the idea of ITBs but worried about the finicky nature of cable setups or losing that smooth modern throttle mapping, this looks like it’s going to be a fantastic solution. Seeing the engineering going into the manifold and the plenum design firsthand, it’s clear the guys are putting a lot of thought into getting the airflow and response just right.
I’m really looking forward to seeing the final results once testing is wrapped up. It feels like a “best of both worlds” upgrade—that raw ITB character with 21st-century precision.
Definitely one to watch if you’re looking to wake up your engine!
"That’s the million-dollar question (hopefully not literally! LOL).
I did ask Josh and Tim about pricing, but they’re still in the process of finalising a lot of the finer details. Because the early test cars are pure track machines, they are currently working on the ‘real world’ refinements that make it a viable kit for the rest of us.
Specifically, they’re finishing the design for the direct NACA duct air inlets—and since the front-end shapes varies, they’re making sure it integrates perfectly across all three bumper designs (NC1, NC2, and NC3).They are also looking at emission control options for road-based installs to ensure it’s not just a weekend toy, but something that can live on a street car without constant headaches.
The plan is to have the final specs, general availability, and that all-important price tag ready in about a month or so. It’s definitely a ‘do it once, do it right’ situation, but from what I’ve seen so far, the wait will be worth it for the level of integration they’re aiming for!"
