im in the process of havin itbs fabbed right now and im stuck between havin my spare existing manifold modified or goin with the y8 and jus using the flange has anyone here done this manifold swap? how doable is it and mods needed to make it happen im not tryin to have any chack engine lights or anything like that. this guy fabs itbs for a living at his shop around my way so i trust him but we dont know which way to go with these....we are leaning to y8 cuz i heard it fits. will this work i jus need the flange prett much he's got the rest covered. any help willb e appriciated

 

I would choose the Y8, since it's entirely made of metal, versus the D17's manifolds, which are mostly plastic.

What made you want ITB's, anyways?

 

let me know how this turns out

you think you can run throttle bodies on a stock computer and not get a CEL?...if it runs at all i would be surprised

 

lets put it this way id rather not have a cel....i have a good tuner but what makes u so sure it wont run to begin with? puttin itb on this car jus like any other successful attempt on an OBD2 dseries? so whats the diff?

all about problems not about solutions...ill def let u know how it turns out and when its runnin ill post vids...

still like to hear from someone on the actual fit of y8 manifold vs. stock d17a2 mani


input anyone?

I guess you kind of skipped over my post. I said that a Y8 manifold would work better than the stock D17A2 manifold, as a base for ITB's.

 

nah i saw ur post....i jus want itb cuz no one has them on a EM@ that i know of plus ive always liked them and jus think they would realy set my car off aside from the super secret 3 piece wheels i jus got for next spring

i need like facts that it fits 100% and all if uve done one or have a friend that has done this please share i need im chompin at the bit to do this like yesterday lol i kno ur like a honda jedi master so i was actually lookin towards u and a few others for some help thanx TM

 

cant wait to see pics, being first to put itb's on a d17

 

if you havent looked at the EMI section, you should. there are a couple of d16's running about 140-160whp with their ITB setups. Might not seem much but the throttle response OWNS, not to mention the noise. GL with the setup.

Yeah, to be honest, I like the idea of ITB's on a D17. I bet they'll be quite enjoyable. My only remaining bits of information pertain to the TPS sensor. It'll be difficult to make sure it reads properly, but other than that, you shouldn't see too many problems swapping over to the Y8-ITB's.

See if this helps: http://homemadeturbo.com/tech_....html
Personally, I would weld the runners to the throttle housings, instead of the rubber hosing he used, but either works. I would also use TB filters for each TB, to keep crap from getting into your engine.

 

yeah i got that link in my favs thnx...i got the tps figured out my boy is good at this type of stuff and i have the ohm read out already....w/o throttle is 4.5ohm (or as close as possible) and closed throttle is .5 ohm (or best) thats all it really takes to get it runnin after the tune we jus run the ecu to read off the throttle pos sensor and im golden....im makin this happen very soon ill keep everyone posted with pix and videos hopefully jus a matter of time now

It should be pretty nice when you get it all done. With a cleaned up bay, header/exhaust, and maybe some go-fast mods (bigger cam, higher compression pistons) you may see a solid 25-35whp. You may want to go with longer runners on the ITB's to help with fuel atomization.

 

dont forget AEM EMS youll need alot of fuel for those ITB's, especially when the weather changes. and as for the filters, you dont really need them unless your driving in a really really dirty place with good sized rock chunks everywhere. anything that gets sucked into your motor will just burn unless its a metal pipe or something lol

Haha, nothing like a metal pipe in the intake.

 

'cept 2 metal pipes in the intake...lol TTT
