I read that someone used a 80mm ford mustang throttle body on an h22 intake manifold. Now if I were to do this, I would use something a little smaller but anyways, what kind of mods are required to make this work and would it be worth it? The guy never responded to my pm so that is why I am asking this.

Edelbrock sells an adaptor plate to mount their Ford TB on a Honda/Acura.

 

That is some good info...anyone else?

 

You also don't need to look for an 'H22' TB. B-series, all H-series and probably the F22/F23 engines all have the same bolt pattern for the TB.

 

I notice that throttle bodies for domestic cars tend to be cheaper and larger than most imports, that is why I was wondering about this. So can I use this "plate" with another brand throttle body made for a mustang?

Thanks

I would think so...the Edelbrock TB I have has a perfectly square bolt pattern. I don't know much about Mustangs, but if you find a TB that has a square pattern it should work.

 

Thanks Hawkze, what kind of a throttle body do you have and what size? I have seen you around for a while and you seem very knowledgeable, what size do u recommend (70mm or 75mm) on a fairly stock h22?

Thanks

i personally wouldnt put the money into a giant TB on a relatively stock h22. I am assuming the stock automatic with bolt ons in your sig is the car it is for. in the case of that i would stick with the stock one. Even with a 5 spd swap and header id not btoher....

True, it won't do much good except for throttle response and maybe a little top-end for you now.

I have a 70mm Edelbrock that I don't really see much benifit from now, but the car will eventually be boosted.

 

The thing is that I am just doing some research for the future. I am going to have a n/a build with cams, header, 5speed swap, and modified intake manifold. I always hear that stock h22 need air anyways, if it bogs down a little now its fine b/c in the future it will be more beneficial.

thanks

 

It won't make you car bog out.

Good luck to you

Thanks. One last thing, what mods are needed to use the Edelbrock TB? I doubt the fact that it is gonna be plug and play.

 

Get the one made for Honda/Acura + the adaptor plate and it is in fact plug & play.

Unless you haven't bypassed your FITV (on the stock TB) then you'll have to loop those coolant lines....no biggie

 

this gets more confusing all the time, only just before christmas there was a discussion on TB's and the general concensus was that even stock H22's need more air and that a bigger TB was a good way to go, now it appears not. i would kill for some actual comparisons, i personally think that gains might be possible with a bigger TB even on a slightly breathed on prelude, the stock TB is a bit small looking after all. anyone got any comparisons on this because its becoming an enigma for me

X'2.

I got shot down for saying it wouldnt do much for someone with bolt-ons.

 

Thanks guys. I appreciate the info u guys posted. I will look in more depth later.
