Default Help with 70mm BDL throttle body for K20Z1

[IMG]I have a question about a BDL throttle body. I bought the throttle body and started to remove all sensors from stock throttle body and put on BDL and I noticed a problem with the sensor on top that gets 2 screws to hold it down to the throttle body. Please if anyone can help me out I would really appreciate it. I'm really stuck and dont know what to do.

The RSX does not gain much if anything from upgrading the throttle body.

How about upgrading the manifold in addition to adding a new throttle body ?

An RBC manifold is a great upgrade for the RSX. Otherwise, the throttle body really shows no gains on an N/A setup, maybe if you are running high power or boost.

If anything, just pick up an RBC manifold.

the RBC flows much better. again, TB will not net you gains without cams and more. also, the difference between the BDL and Spoon is that the Spoon starts out at 70mm and tapers down to 63mm or so. the BDL is just a straight 70mm through.

RBC is the best manifold made by Honda out there. Period.
