Anyone using the Type S throttle body? Good gains or is it bullshit?

 

bump on a new account

 

or you could just have your stock TB bored to 68mm for about the same price probably....gains are most likely too small to tell especially with a stock IM

 

i doubt you can find anyone willing to bore a stock h22 tb to 68mm

maxbore.com can do it to 66mm which i think is the max before it will break the walls.

 

hm, ok well then go with the 66 then, i could have swore it was 68, none the less it tapers to 70 http://www.iwebmedia.net/sonic...8.JPG

 

The most you can bore a stock H22 T-body is 64mm with no taper. A Type S/Euro R T-body can be bored out to 66mm at the plate with a tapered opening (not sure how big).

 

I thought our USDM 5th Gen Preludes had 60mm TB and the Type S had a 62mm TB!

King Motorsports will bore out your stock TB by 4mm for about $150. That would give you a 64mm TB!!

It might be worth it if you had a higher compression ratio or more aggresive cams!

 

maxbore.com does it for $100 and they bring it to 66mm i would recomend...real good job

 

On my 4th Gen siVtec: I just had my TB bored and cleaned and noticed an increase in throttle response. Car feels smooth and new. Unsure if it adds hp, but it does make it feel better. I also took off my resonator (weighs about 0.5kg) and my lude's breathing a lot better. No loss in torque whatsoever (unlike my old cone-type K&N) - sounds fantastic and feels grrreat!

Anyone know the specs of the Type S throttle body? I'm a TB bore convert, and am drooling at the prospects of boring out the Type S' and coupling that with the Euro-R intake.

 

yea im lookin for a cleaner throttle response for sure, i just dont know if its worth my time or money to do it.

 

I have a Spoon 70mm TB for sale if you are interested. Used only for 1 month until I switched to ITBs.

 

spoon? how much are you asking for it.

 

$450 shipped. Completes with brand new gasket.
This is genunie Spoon TB with 70mm ID.

 

ITBs? Sweet!! Your car must sound like a monster
Hey is your Spoon TB a bored out Type-S TB? Thinkin of getting it sometime down the road and a Euro-R manifold. Would love to get yours, but not exactly flush with cash at the moment.

 

I think the Spoon TB is actually a bored out ITR TB, comes with all sensor inputs so its plug and play. It will work on B/H series.
If you are interested let me know, I do notice a difference in torque and throttle response when I upgrade from JG 64mm TB to Spoon 70mm.
The ITBs screams at WOT, but its actually pretty quiet at crusing and partial throttle.

Just use an ITR TB..62mm Mine was good for 240whp...

 

Thanks for the info, I'll pm you again sometime down the line if you still have the Spoon TB. Enjoy your ITBs!

 

I have one. Your engine setup determine the size of throttlebody you should get. Going too big for your motor setup will slow the **** out of your car.
