Here's my question. What TB are these "people" telling you to get? My other question is why would you NOT be able to use your TB? My third question is WHY are you getting a Box IM?

yes you can use your b16 original cable and i say keeping your original intake manifold is better then the blox for sure, on the long run its better

hmonguy918

oh...ok...i was gona get it dyno tuned when after i put it on..but um thnx for the info

Deetz

Not sure what you mean here.....

If by original, you mean the cars original B16 intake manifold and throttle cable? The manifold will not fit a gsr head. The throttle cable should fit most after market style intake manifolds for the gsr though as they are similar in design

hmonguy918

what i am asking is do i need to use a lower base stock model for throttle body so the throttle cable can fit? im confused by people telling me that i cant use my original stock gsr tb cause it wont fit right..plus do i need a lower base model throttle cable for the set up because im gonna put on my aftermarket manifold in.

Deetz

A gsr throttle body is the same as any other throttle body found on B16A, and B18B. The difference is it has a couple threaded holes for two bolts that hold the gsr throttle cable on. That bracket comes off, and fit like any other throttle body, there is no difference..oh, the throttle rotor is backwards, but easily swapped by removing one nut.

I have done this before, this is how i know

hmonguy918

oh thanks so um wat throttle rotor do i switch to can u tell me?

Deetz

from any ls, rs, or gs integra. From a pick n pull junk yard, the part should only couple about $2

hmonguy918

would a b16 fit? or would i need an ls?

??????????

i dont rem swapping my trottle blade when i put a skunk2 mani on my JDM gsr.. i used a type r throttle bracket and cable..

apexi_rsx

all throttles body b/d/f/h have the same bolt pattern. what hes talking about is the rotor that ur throttle cable hooks to turn the flap is reverse. he would need to find one from a rs,ls or gs teggy and swap it out. some times the rotors are bigger and u cant use them because they had cruise control and the mount for the cable wont line up. you wont have as much slack in the cable to mount the bracket

hmonguy918

wat if i used a b16 throttle body.. would i still have to swap out the rotor?

hmonguy918

???

hmonguy918

any suggestions?

Deetz

you are making this much more difficult than it needs to be....any regular non gsr throttle body will bolt up and you are done!! If using your gsr throttle body, take off one nut and swap the throttle rotor (takes 3 mins to do, EASY)

Once you get this done, you will shake your head at how easy it was

hmonguy918

hm.. guess i will try this tomorow when i put the manifold on.. then i'll let ya know back on here..

hmonguy918

hey um guys and um deetz i really need your help now.. just found out im running my b16 throttle cable.. i did all the install and used my gsr throttle and swaped it out with my throttle rotor out with my b16 and everything fits in perfectly on the throttle body but im getting a check engine light.. i did a code check and it blinks bout 5 times..a friend of mine said its the tps thats bad so im woundering if i can just use my b16 throttle body on my manifold..im desperatley in need of help with this engine light.. someone with experience please help me..please oh and the junk yards over here are pretty bad and i cant get any parts.. plus i could find anybody to in town whos willing to sell me the throttle body.. please help me pleas, i need to know if i can use my b16 throttle body..

dude READ!!!!!!!!!! it has been said 5 times in this thread that yes, you can use a damn b16 tb. i dont understand why you would go thru the trouble to install junk parts anyways. btw: "the light flashed bout 5 times" is the dumbest **** i have ever heard. 1 long flash= 10, 1 short flash= 1. if you dont know or understand these most basic of things, stop working on your own car.

hmonguy918

i already did.. everythings in now...everythings hooked up..check engone lites not on no more...already found out wat it was..hey im gettin the hang of it..thanks guys.. thanks for the help..
