Is it possible to install an individual throttle body system in the 96 TE?

Can you please explain what you are talking about here

Are you talking about a throttle body per cyl, if so why the hell would you do that as the std TB flows more than the engine can use even if mildly boosted

ITB's for mad as response? not that I know of
2, 3 or 6? do it!

Few reasons to setup ITB's.

- Instant throttle response
- Insane induction roar
- Substantial power and torque gains (You are completely deleting the plenum - there is no bottleneck and the runners are VERY short).

However there are drawbacks...

- To get maximum gain, extensive headwork and large cams are required
- Along with the larger cams you also need larger injectors
- To tune this properly you will need an aftermarket ECU
- Cold air becomes a problem, bonnet vents needed
- Huge fabrication costs are involved
- MAF sensor cannot be used, MAP required (again with fabrication)
- Custom idle setup needs to be implemented

To answer the OP's question, it can be done but it would exceed the value of your car 5x over and lots of custom fabrication and tuning is required.

Leave it to the race cars, they have sponsors to pay for this shit :)

I toyed with this idea a couple of years back. It wouldnt be that expensive, probably on par with a decent supercharger build. It would sound completely nuts and with the right tuning you could see big gains. You will need to strengthen some internals and probably get it all balanced, to get the most out of ITBs you will need a higher rev limit. Considering 4 cylinders see in excess of 200kW with ITBs these days, i would imagine the big 6 would be much more.

Now im looking at ITBs on the clio, that will give around 170kW atfw just to give you some idea - its 120 standard.

Also, you could use TBs off a performance motorbike to fabricate your build around. There are a number of options available. Yamaha R1 TBs would be an idea as they are fairly small and flow well. There are also lots of off-the-shelf bits like trumpets and filters that will suit them.
