yep it bolts on and plugs in just fine, you will be surprised how much bigger the LS TB is over the D16s...they are cheap too.

no i dont have pics yet. the software turned up missing for my digital camera so i have to buy it again. i have seen your car once before about a week ago. mine got backed into by an expedition so i havent driven it in a while. its fixed now though just not painted yet. the tb i have is off a 95 ls. will it still work even though my car is obdII? i just dont know if they added more sensors or something to it. what kind of gains am i looking out of this tb?

How can slapping on a larger TB make a large difference....the flow still bottlenecks at the IM port because it has a smaller cross sectional area than does the TB. You would need to port match the Intake Manifold and use the LS gasket in order to get the full effect.

i got my tb from a 95 ls, so a 92 should be the same. i put it on my d16y8 and it fit perfectly, no drilling or anything. all the sensors plugged up and everything. the only difference is on the ls tb there is an extra vacuum line on the top that the civic doesnt have, so i just left it unconnected. i dont believe my im is bottlenecked, but im not sure ill check and if it is ill bore it out to match the size of the ls tb. i used the ls gasket too.

cjames235-so u want to race when it dries up outside. since i have the only non-vtec b16 in memphis.

theFLY- that is probably harolds green civic that you see over scott's house. chris doesn't know scott i don't think.

does anyone know the size of the opening on the ls throttle bodies.

I was just wonder how large it would be compare to like a "B&K" or other bored out throttle bodies.
