OBX has individual throttle bodys listed for S2000s on their site. They dont have any pics and no specs for the listing... so Im asuming they are soon to be in production?.. but if they are as good as the TODA B18C nock offs I'm going to give them a shot. for under $900!

Also here is a link to the B18C topic - https://honda-tech.com/zerothread/2219288

What do you think people? Are you gonna hate , or are you gonna celebrate?

 

This could be really good or really bad...

 

I couldn't agree more. If good, then ITB's+Supercharger = Fun

Someone suck it and buy these and dyno them.

 

If you don't have first hand experience with OBX products, why even post about it???

I have run several OBX products on RACE WINNING cars- cams, lsd's, etc.

All OBX does is copy a design and make it for much cheaper. What's so bad about this?? If it works and it's cheaper, what's the problem??

I've run OBX A cams in my ITR for a year and a half with ZERO issues. Wear on the cam after 15k miles is little to none- same as any other manufacturer.

to some people in this forum if its not Mugen, Spoon, Volk or any other jdm overpriced brand is not worthy. Thats besides the fact that they have never used the "cheap" part they are talking **** about.

OBX just copies the parts and sell them for cheap since they don't have to spend money on the research. I hate the people who think that expensive parts are better just because of the price... keep putting money on those companies pockets you got money to waste

My Mugen RNR's cracked at the spokes so I used Rota Group N's for track wheels...guess what, no cracks

 

guess what? you're story about running obx cams is really touching and all, but it does nothing to sway my opinion after seeing one of their cams split into 4 pieces during a run on the dyno in a gsr.....sorry

i'm sure for every great inspirational story like yours there's another few shitty ones...

I know you have seen every product in action, so I'm not trying to make your statements seem insignificant....but have you ever seen a JUN cam break?? I have.

And almost 99% of the reason a camshaft breaks, is due to improper installation.

Please give some more first hand testimonials young warrior

 

ive heard a lot of bad storys about OBX manifold cracking... never seen one crack in person tho...

did i say i've seen every product in action? NO

i spoke of an occurrence that i witnessed first hand....upon which my opinion is based

now you can claim failure due to faulty installation, as i am not able to factor whether or not that was the cause, but the fact still remains in my 10 years of working on hondas i have NEVER seen that happen

and your little statement "young warrior" is irrelevant as well....i am the same age as you and ASE certified myself....

"young" to HT still

Most people I see install cams do not back off the valves prior to removal/installation which can bind a cam and cause it to break....a few parts of ANY bunch will most likely fail- this is nothing new.

 

i would buy it when i get the money

 

I had Jun III cams in my ITR and they broke in 4 places. Is it a **** product? NO its a race product. Those valve springs are almost 200% stiffer than stock. 6 years @ 9k rpm what do you expect? I don't buy **** parts. Im talking about ITBs here. They don't ware out or fatigue over time. They are very serviceable as well. So Ill take a shot at this OBX product.

whats funny about that statement is ive seen more crowers snap in heads and those are more "expensive" than obx

 

well put it this way, do you really want made in taiwan itb's?

 

just wanted to update!

 

JDM I have a friend who had a OBX turbo manifold with an OBX gt35 and was pushing 430WHP...no problems ever

 

Carry On
