i decided to look into getting a throttle body body for my civic. what brands are the best for hondas? DC? BBK? Edelbrock? does the SpoonSports throttle body fit sohc?

 

most companies website will have application charts and will state whether or not it works with the Y8

 

BBK is a popular one... in your case, I'd go for a B-series one. You can find them cheap at clubsi.com or honda-tech... plus the benefit is that most of them are local to you.

B-series t/bs bolt up to the D-series and are well sized.

 

cool..... so the spoon one will work....sweet. do the b-series directly bolt on, or are mods or wiring changes needed? cuz i dont want to deal with wiring.

 

bolt right up, change the gasket, no wiring needed, but you may have to get your tps calibrated .

 

red90dx, you got any HF mani's for me?

you are right about the B-series t-body

 

spracingsports: two questions:

#1 is that a TCC sticker on your car? that would be awesome to see one in socal

#2 can you drive to toronto so i can just look at your car all day...i stare at the pic everytime you post

 

shlammed, that car is his inspiration, his car is not the one in the pic though apparently pretty close.

 

lol bbarb is rite. my car looks identical to that other than the front lip and i have 98 tails. also i havent dropped it yet but that will come soon

i will have some actual pics as soon as my tite *** friend lets me borrow his digicam. when i do my type-r custom grille i am gonna take pics, and i just got a scanner, so pics will be up by early monday at the latest.

i also am gonna register as a tcc member, so i will have stickers soon! my current rear window stickers are H-CAR Performance, my friends company.

 

ya know, my brother in law is from somewhere in ontario, so i might make a road trip up there in tha future, me in my civic, him in his wrx (which might be replaced by an sti by the time we go) . im not ppositive we will go, but where is the area most populated by tcc members?

 

toronto Kennedy Commons on any wednesday night ....

don't come during winter .... stay home where it's warm .... trust me you'll thank me later for this advice....

 

don't come until your car looks like that!

 

its a normal EX coupe with the regular mods, lip, mirrors, black rims, and a sticker. WOW! LOL trust this... it's nothing special.

 

ya but those look like REAL spoon wheels from here

 

$400usd each for 15" mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

 

you can tell his interior is done to...red seats...probably something nice as well...i dunno i just love that look

 

well i got stock seats and rota wheels lol

 

Spoon's 70mm TB is dope, nice upgrade indeed.

It would be cool if you could join us when you do take the road trip to Toronto.

 

well if i ever do go up there i will be sure to stop by! will that spoon throttle body work ok with slight mods, or is it tuned for high performance engines?
also: would i need to port match anything to make it fit a y8, like my intake or intake manifold? and if i get a skunk2 manifold will it still work?

 

I believe most import TB and Intake manifold are geared towards B series engine. I am not expert but I would think they will bolt on nicely.

As for Port & Polish, it will increase air flow but not sure if it is needed with your new TB. That 70mm hole will grant you more air already. P&P will be awesome if you are hardcore engine modder.
