I ran Blitz ITB's on my CRX back in the late 90's. It had a decently spec'd gsr motor. I could never get them to run right. If I ran WOT they would run fine...but the gas/let off was like an on/off switch. Sounded incredible though. Almost ended up going to 40mm Mikuni's but sold the car. I remember Mugen getting 180-200ish out of 1.5 NON-Turbo SOHC using Mikuni's back in the 80's.
At the time they had some $2500 programmable ECU...either JG Racing or something similar. I had some modified Honda ecu with some rich fuel program and some janky piggyback programmable fuel deal. The stuff they have now for ITB's/tuning is incredible...and cheap.
I actually had an easier time with my triple Mikuni'd 240Z. Just get the linkage set, sync them, fiddle with jets, and just leave them alone. More you fiddle, the more issues.
This thread is giving me the itch again. I've had a FJ80 Land Cruiser that's been rock solid but I want to get around to messing with cars again. Trying to convince pops to do a father/son restoration on something fun. Trying to convince him to get an old 911E 2.2 like he used to have. Such a simple car to work on. You can work on a bug, old 911s are cake. Another possibility is a BMW 1600/2002, one of the mid to late 60's Alfa coupes (preferably a stepnose), or even a E30 318IS or later Quattro coupe.
My step mom is all for it since it will get my dad occupied...time will see.
