hmmmm, it might be a 70 mm bore, but i know its a LS throttle body off a 92 integra, and i have a 93 integra so it should work fine...but he said all the work was done by JG...and i have never seen a JG done one before and i was wondering if it looks like it has been done up

there's no way that's an 80 or even 70mm throttle body. to measure it accurately, use a micrometer & measure the opening in the front & then measure the other side to see if it tapers.

Please measure the inside diameter of the throttle body...just put a ruler up to it so that we can see how large the opening it.

ummm....measurements??? Doesn't really matter who modified the TB, just as long as it's a clean transition, and it's the size that counts.

looks like its 65mm, but get a micrometer in mm. Thats what I did with my t/b. They cost about 5 bucks at any hardware store.

That's my 70mm babie.

That JG one doesn't look close to 80mm. Looks like a 62-64mm... maybe less.

JG before they got tied up with Edelbrock used to just machining stock parts and stamp their name on them. Good chance it is JG, but the newer TB's come with a Newer RED anodized plate since a lot of people claimed that the re-worked TB's gave them a crappy idle. Not sure if the NEW JG/Edelbrock one's are available yet.
