throttle body?
i have a jdm b16a second gen and i was thinking about adding a type r intake manifold and throttle body from skunk 2. it this a hard mod or does it just bolt on with little change(what ive heard but want to make sure) and aslo would 68mm or 70mm be better. bigger is probably better but just want to make sure before adding it on. thanks for your help in advance.

bigger is not better. air velocity is more important than air quantity.
leave your stock manifold and tb on there. using itr pieces will only kill what little midrange b16's have and shift the powerband only higher where you wont be able to rev to without additional work.

Even with bolt-ons and raised compression/stage I cams, 62mm is really probably the best size TB you could roll with. On a stock B16, you might want to jump up to the 60mm TB found on the later model B16s and Integra engines, but I'd steer away from the 65+ range.
