OK first off dont laugh. alright I have a 2000 civic dx, i know a bit about cars but I'm wondering something about my throttle body. every picture i see under the hood of every civic i see a throttle body that faces horizontally easy for any intake upgrades... well im the second owner of my honda and my throttle body opening faces vertically. is there an inexpensive way to change this? or should i leave it as is?

Leave it as is, or swap to a b or up series

but if you really want to you would need to change the intake manifold if you wanted to do that

 

you could leave it like it is or you could upgrade to a d16y8 intake manifold

 

can i put a d16y8 intake manifold on a d16y7 engine?

get out of the d's!!!

 

and my exisiting throttle body will bolt on to that just fine?

 

yes. read this, https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=1326727 it should help. the guy talks about how he used a y8 intake manifold and used his stock y7 throttle body.

 

dx motors are slow. a intake or tb, or what ever the hell your try'n to accomplish aint gonna help. do som reSEARCH and make upgrades that will actually help you.
