spoon throttle body? - Honda-Tech

FA5civicSI · 10-03-2008, 01:55 PM

does this exist for the 06-08 si? i heard a rumor it did but i cant find anything about it on the net. if it does , do any of you know the specs and what kind of power to expect?

Kidnkorner · 10-03-2008, 02:56 PM

Yes its available but why spend a grip of cash on a bored OEM unit? Send your unit to http://www.maxbore.com

Socali914 · 10-03-2008, 03:28 PM

kidnkorner is completely right, spoon is a expensive oem bored tb. hey kidnkorner, is there a noticable difference with a bored out tb?

FA5civicSI · 10-03-2008, 03:30 PM

this is my daily driver , i cant afford to have it out of commission for that long, my other car is strictly for the track and plus im not really looking for maximum gains , my only goal for this car is 200whp .. about how much is the spoon tb?

Socali914 · 10-03-2008, 03:34 PM

i think its like 400 or so and i would assume it'll help 5hp at most, might as well get dcrh for 10-12hp bump

FA5civicSI · 10-03-2008, 03:48 PM

about 5hp is what i expect.. i will be doing the toda rh and exhaust as well as the nst pulleys and stage 1 cams of some sort. then tune it all with whatever hondata program suites my mods.

Socali914 · 10-03-2008, 04:12 PM

dam spending a lot of money on parts, why dont you go with hytech headers instead if your spending 1k plus on headers, i heard those are the best

Kidnkorner · 10-03-2008, 04:14 PM

Only a dyno will tell. The TB is a decent size already, put it together with cams, head work, manifold work and the TB wil uncork the bottle neck. These motors breath great from the factory so TB isn't going to yeild any butt dyno improvements.

When I was into cavaliers back in 2000 we had like a 48mm TB or something like that it was huge gain boring to 60, it really uncoked the flow.

If down time is an issue order a TSX unit, send that out to be bored. When it arrives install it then send out your stocker to be done then sell that!

i know the toda stuff is a good bit more but i really appreciate high end product. it gives me self satisfaction , i know it sounds stupid but im a sick bastard. love dumping money into my cars

Talk to greg50lt.

He made 206 whp with a SRI, DCRH and greddy catback exhaust.

I should know, i videotaped it.

Micha · 10-04-2008, 10:37 AM

Here are his dyno vids. http://www.honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=2386787

25RFG2 · 10-05-2008, 09:33 AM

200 WHP can be achieved by I/RH/E

6spdKEG · 10-05-2008, 10:25 AM

If looking for intake flow increases I would by this http://www.blueprintracing.com/shopexd.asp?id=1265

done and done!

^^no it cant. ive got i/rh/e and img and tbs w/tbg's and am making 190 whp. you need the reflash to hit the 200 mark.

Greg50Lt · 10-05-2008, 01:56 PM

NO you dont. i proved that stupid theory wrong. even on a mustang dyno i made over 200whp. on a dynojet i made 296.7. thats about 7whp over 200. and i have no reflash. you can tell by hearing the Vtec crossover.o0o yea and btw the diff in a cai and the sri cant be much cuz i got a sri!

FA5civicSI · 10-05-2008, 04:20 PM

thanks for all your input guys , i have no idea which route im going to go now but ill take everything into consideration!

HONDA_RACER92 · 10-05-2008, 07:53 PM

Try $700

what a rip.

HONDA_RACER92 · 10-05-2008, 07:55 PM

CHeckout King Motorsports for $225 they will port match the intake and bore the throttlebody out to 65mm and next day it back to you. If you can find a ride for a couple of days this is one of your best bets.

Without cams, head work and tuning you will lose power with that manifold.

with the spoon TB you lose cruise control.

FA5civicSI · 10-06-2008, 10:57 AM

yea for $700 i def will not be purchasing that. i cant imagine spending that much on a tb for any car

HONDA_RACER92 · 10-13-2008, 10:46 AM

KING KING KING MOTORSPORTS

They rock!!!!!

25RFG2 · 10-21-2008, 10:56 AM

Really? It's a DBW Type R unit.

I say if you want to spend a grip of cash buy the TSX unit and send it to maxbore.com, if not send your stock unit to maxbore.com

better find a dyno that works. 207 whp with just a sri, dcrh, exhaust aint happening. how would you like to explain your freak 17 whp over my 190? when i rock a cai, comptech shorty into a random tech. hi-flow cat, paired with a greddy Ti-C. also got the hondata img.
