Default Skunk2 DBW Throttle Body

For all those people waiting for somethign else to slap on your car to breath better... here ya go...

http://cms.skunk2.com/id/480/Drive-B...Throttle-Body/

The most revolutionary new Honda product is here.
Drive-By-Wire Pro Series Throttle Body
Skunk2 is proud to introduce the first-ever, CNC-machined, big-bore drive-by-wire throttle body, debuting exclusively for ’06-’10 Honda Civic Si owners late-Spring, 2010, with other applications to follow. No other throttle body manufacturer (import or domestic) has been able to crack the drive-by-wire code. Until now, drive-by-wire tuners have been forced to rely on boring their OEM throttle bodies, which allows for only minimal airflow improvements. Skunk2’s unique electronic drive system—the first of its kind—is paired with the finest throttle body technology in the industry. Like all Skunk2 Pro Series Throttle Bodies, its new drive-by-wire units feature CNC-machined, 6061 aluminum construction, and will debut in 70mm varieties in both hard-anodized and Black Series finishes. Each Pro Series Throttle Body features proprietary internals that, when matched with the factory sensors, allow for increased airflow but without sacrificing any of the smooth throttle characteristics Honda owners expect. A larger throttle body is key to producing additional power throughout the powerband on modified engines with increased airflow demands. Skunk2’s all-new, Pro Series Throttle Bodies for drive-by-wire K-series engines feature a large bore, which results in significant horsepower gains throughout the powerband on naturally aspirated applications and even more on forced induction ones.

Stay tuned for more details, pricing, and availability for this revolutionary new product.


At work so I can't post pics of it.

Not everyone looks/posts in 8GDD. Only the regulars would have noticed it, but not the general 8th generation population.

Who will be 1st to market, S2 or Hybrid-Racing?

The 09-10 TL SH-AWD TB is 80mm inlet 70mm outlet and with P2R adapter it's plug and play.

how is that too much. port match the intake manifold and the smallest opening in your intake is 70mm. i bet there will be big gains.

im talking about the 80mm side. most intakes arent even that size. so u have to either go a full custom intake or get a coupler from pepboys to run it.

idk if you know, but the "powerbomb" design doesnt work well with intakes.

People who have the set up to run a throttle body like that aren't really using off the shelf intakes now are they going to care if some intake that was made for a car that is relatively stock fits.

As it stands now if you went with Skunk 2 or Hybrid-Racing DBW TB (whenever they debut) you couldn't fit the coupler that came with the intake made for the stock TB anyhow.
