not to flame but if you plan on building a 800whp car you may want to do some research on more than what size throttle body to use. Jotech runs a 70mm at 800+ whp if that helps any.

 

Ericks racing out of torrance, ca makes a nice *** 70 mm throttle body. But damn 800 hp is a shitload of power out of a honda motor...don't know of too many that have been able to acomplish that and actually have the motor last.

 

I think ERE Makes that 72mm-70mm TB...but that should be the least fo your worries...

hello,no i dont take it as a flame.i have done my research and have found that dave hickman racing has a 76mm throttle body out now.the only problem is that i have gone to his site and there is no phone number listed,just and e-mail.i have tried several times and can not get ahold of them.i was mostly seeing what other guys use on their big turbo motors.
thanks,

Most of the big offerings from Apex'i use Infinity Q45 throttle bodies. I'm using one on my car right now, very easy to adapt to a sheet metal intake. It's 85mm and cost me $90 at a junkyard.

 

Edelbrock is about to come up with a 75mm throtle body for the honda motors pretty soon.-pdang

 

Are you planning on running a Methanol Setup? Or trying to get 800whp on Gas?

yeah, most people use the q45 for a nice oversized throttle body. when you are trying to make 800whp you going to have to look past the direct bolt on parts and fabricate 50% of your parts.
