I've got a d16y8 with a Skunk2 Intake Manifold... my next purchase includes a new throttle body, whats the best throttle body size (diameter) and best brand for the d16?

(Im building up to boost if that helps - this is also my daily driver)

 

use an LS TB, cheap, 60mm, and bolts right on. No need for anything bigger, especially until you do boost.

I second this motion

 

get the ERE(ericks racing) throttle body 72mm tappered to 70 so when you do boost you dont have to change the throttle body. 60 mm imo is small

 

60mm is a big upgrade from 56mm. w/out boost that 70mm is going to be way too much.

 

will i be safe with a 60mm when I do boost? im lookin for somethin i wont have to upgrade later..

im not planning on a lot of boost, just the typical 6-12

 

its all up to you, you can gain a little HP by going to a bigger TB, but imo 60 is plenty. you should base it mostly on your HP goal, instead of boost level. if you plan to stay under 200whp (which doesnt sound like alot) then you will be fine w/ the LS TB.

 

well whose got an LS TB for sale?

 

bigger throttle body = better throttle response not more hp

 

yep ls throttle body ftw

 

bigger TB on a boosted car does equal more HP.

 

i picked up a TB from an LS today but missing the MAP sensor and gasget.. can i use the D16 TB sensor and gasget?

 

use an LS gasket, and your old map sensor, just hook vacuum line to it and connect it to the new TB.

broke those bolt things that hold it to the TB how do i get/make new ones?!!?

 

you can get the bolts from honda, shouldnt be but a few bucks at most, or just take it into a hardware store with you and match them up.
