Default Which T/B for Skunk 2 IM?

I am gunna do a mpfi swap soon enough to my car. It needs a swift kick in the ***, and this will help. I plan on getting most of the supplies either at a junk yard or thru my local honda dealer. Since the stock manifold is so resrictive, I decided why not get the Skunk 2 IM since i'm going to swap in a Z6 in december, might as well use it for the z6 as well. I noticed that you need a different throttle body for the mpfi swap, so I was wondering which throttle body would be the best for the Skunk 2 IM on a mpfi swap? Should I bore the stock D to 60mm? If not than what t/b should I buy? Thanks. Yes I have searched mpfi swaps and a 'throttle body' search.

Since when is the stock A6 that restrictive, and when has a B2 ever benefited from any type of aftermarket manifold. Hell, most motors won't benefit from something like the Skunk2 IM unless you have done extensive internal work.

P.S. And the same goes for the Z6

I have the big JG TB for my skunk2 mani... I forget what size it is though... something like 68 or 72 mm.

Well its not THAT restrictive, but putting the Skunk 2 IM will increase power. And since you asked, I plan on putting 10.5 c/r pistons into the Z6, D16A1 rods, then a thicker headgasket (im sure thats the one that increases the c/r, or thinner I get them mixed up), then the Apexi V-AFC, then along with the IM and t/b, a cam upgrade, nothing drastic, something that will easily work with the stock springs/retains and obviously headers and exhaust. Then Ill be set. So yes, there will be internal work.

Would you recommend that t/b for someone else?

just get a used b18b TB.

NOTE: if u get the skunk2 mani get the one for the D16z6 NOT the d16a6.

the d16a6 will only accept TB's designed for a d16a6. (the 92+ TB's are different)

I think the Skunk2 IM will fit any D16A or D16Z

If you click that URL... 'this part' = the skunk 2 IM, so I think the manifold fits all D16A and D16Z, yes I know this manifold will work on my D15B becuase I know someone who has used the skunk 2 on theirs.
