Just send your oem throttlebody to http://www.maxbore.com, and buy cams, or valvetrain components with the money you saved. That is unless you just want a bling *** throttlebody, which isn't a bad thing, it just wasn't too important to me.
Great guy to deal with, and does outstanding work, my tb looked NIB when I got it back.

Yeah it will be safe...but from I have read, you will probably lose power. lol

ou need to take in account tuning. You can get all the air you want into the engine but without propper fuel maps and ignition to controll the burn you wont see any power gains. Are you using hondata? or like ecu

Re: (evade this honda)
Don't go too big. On an old Ford engine, they tried to get more power out of it, and with a big *** TB, the car would stall at idle.
Then they switched back to smaller ones.

Spoon does not make a 70mm throttle body. All their throttle bodies are OEM type R cores that have been " tapered" to 70mm at the opening. They still have the stock 62mm butterfly.
if you have a Skunk 2 manifold, it has a 64mm opening. So boring your GSR or Civic Si or any stock 60mm throttle body to 64mm would make it match the Skunk 2 manifold just fine.

Re: (YoungMoneySi)
I have recently upgrade to a Skunk2 TB(68mm) and Skunk2 IM.
I was having idle issues when I first installed them (high idle)...but the prob has now been fixed. The car was throwing a CEL (IACV)...to make a long story short, it turned out it was the tps. The tps adjustment was maxed out but still was not at .50 fully closed...so I had to dremel some of the tps in order to get more adjustment to get it to .50. Seems to be fine now.
But anyway, now that my car is idling normal, I've been happy with the TB and IM so far. I say go with the skunk2.
As for gains, I'll find out soon when I take the car to the next street legal drags.

Re: (YoungMoneySi)
Spend the money elsewhere. Cams and tuning will gain you way more power than an upgraded TB ever could and - quite honestly - if you're trying to milk power out of your B16 by adding NA upgrades then you probably don't know what you're doing in the first place.
