Like stated above...i have a type r setup minus the throttle body and its bothering me... plus im going boost so

So anyways any reviews or any input on one of them ebay throttle bodies before I get ripped off with a skunk2 or something one would help thanks

i wouldnt trust anything off ebay... well most of the time. and just wondering why boost a type r?

tobe1424

well ive had pretty good luck with things on ebay... all my friends ebay bolt on exhaust have worked and fit pretty well. I just hate the ricy mufflers. So thats y i was considering buying an ebay throttle body. I mean how much engineering does it take to replicate a OEM one and just bore it out?


And the reason for my setup... ls block type are gsr bottom end with forged internals and type r head. the motor is a **** and ive been gathering parts for over a year now :/

so authentically is not a type r lol but id rather not talk for an hour about every part that is and is not type r or other lol

I just put that Omni 68 MM TB on my 00 EM1...made a huge difference...definately worth what I paied, and best part it it looks stock.

ebay is not a brand, it's a website.
who is the manufacturer of this throttle body?

let's make some sense here.

Professional Products

those are some.... the first one looks prettty decent but still... thats y im asking here on HT


and about king motor sports.... i dont want to spend much money on a TB for now =/...i have other priority but if a deal comes around ill pick it up.

Things to keep in mind with cheaper "Ebay Brand" TB's...Do they come with a gasket, and TPS?

Hey not trying to thread jack but are the AEBS Power tb's any good?

instrument

if i were you i'd send your throttle body off to max bore
he's a forum sponsor and i've heard nothing but good things about him.

well that sounds like a plan but does he only bore out the front... like isnt an itr TB 62mm or so all the way through or does it get smaller towards the flap?

instrument

all the way i believe, and he'll port match your manifold if you want.

just search for maxbore, he has an ongoing thread and nothing but rave reviews.

sounds safer then an ebay TB

here's a thread about those aebs tb's from the all motor forum: https://honda-tech.com/zerothread/1557649

tobe1424

ill search him up... but i dont need to port match in to the intake manifold I have an AEBS IM.


Ive heard that sometimes its pretty good just to bore out the front of the TB thus creating velocity rather than volume which is useless if air doesnt flow properly. sort of like a " velocity stack "

ive never seen an aftermarket TB with a Honda TPS on it. Some might, but thats just my experience. And whats wrong with spending 2 bucks at the parts store to get a gasket... or just make your own.

to the OP. nomatter what TB you use its not gonna do much if you dont get your ITM port matched. And to answer your original question, ide buy one off ebay. how many throttle bodies have you had go bad?

good to know!

slambedcivic

that max bore looks pretty good. anyone willing to do a group buy as listed on his site?

tobe1424

damn the TB's of the maxbore site look pretty clean...does he clean them up for you as well... Im really thinking of going with him

slambedcivic

yes he does clean them. he sand blasts them after stripping all of the parts off. i think ima send one to him to match my 65mm ITM

tobe1424

can you bore a 2000 si TB to 65mm? if so what gasket can i use? thanks

slambedcivic

yes im pretty sure that you can. and just use a stock gasket and trim it out with a razor blade
