ok after much searching and researching, i understand that there are several stock TBs from other honda/acura's that will fit my d16. my question is concerning the size of the TB in relation to my intake pipe? will i need a new pipe to fit those few extra mm's? or should i just stretch the rubber sleeve over the new TB and still use my old piping? thanks a lot

You can just stretch it over the t/b. Well at least I did when I put a LS t/b on a d16z6. You don't need a new pipe.

what about if I have an aftermarket intake system? same deal when fitting it onto the new TB?

how did this help you w/ performance wise??? can you tell a differnce?? just wondering..

Redline130

Mostly increased throttle response. It does seem to pull a little harder in the mid-range to upper rpms. Or it could just be a psychological thing. Unfortunately there isn't a dyno around here, so I can't get positive proof of this upgrade.

tfunk-the d16z6 has an AEM shorty on it.

while we're on the subject, i hope you guys can confirm this cause my friend doesn't wanna believe that a TB from a 99 Si would fit on his EX sohc.

actually i think i remember hearing that the 99-00 Civic Si TBs do NOT bolt up to the d16. strange b/c it is also a b-series, but i know someone who tried and said it was a big hassle, mite have to drill, etc.
