Default 1997 Civic lx j30a1 swap with 04 accord manual transmission with throttle swap

This is another update on my build. I had been running into issues with my speed as I accelerated with the stock throttle and butterfly. No matter what I did the engine always had a mild high idle nothing bad just a little higher then I would like. The intake always had about 23 inches of mercury in vacuum when I last measured it. The acceleration was good in the mid rang but never great. So thought would my old D series intake butterfly work better since th bolt patterns are the same only minor differences. So I removed the old j intake throttle and installed the D series throttle and the engine was hard to start at first but soon as I adjusted the air bleed valve the engine woke right up now it has tons of power and idled really low and it has a nice smooth run. I mean its way smoother the original throttle body and the vacuum is really high the fuel mileage came up from were it was before and the exhaust smelled cleaner.
I never thought it would happen to correct all my problems. Only a few vacuum lines to relocate but that is not an issue.
