Default Throttle body bore

How many people have bored out their stock Lude TB's and port matched their IM? I may have this done and was wondering if there was anything else that I need to consider? Thanks!

I bored one of my Prelude TB's to 64.5mm. It worked great. I ended up putting it on my EX's LS/VTEC when I changed to the Erick's racing TB. I can get you RC Engineering, and STR throttle bodies now. Both are really good and the STR stuff is availible in different sizes above 64.5mm.

looks good to me. May be a little overkill, however.

A few years ago I bolted up the gude 64mm TB, and ported the IM. I was impressed with the results for what I had spent. The butt-dyno registered better throttle response for sure, that's what was most noticable. I still have it, but i'm debating on using it as sometimes it sticks. I guess that's gude quality control for ya, haha!

I bored out the TB to 64mm and port matched the IM and ported the plenum. I don't remember if they ported the runners and matched the head or not..

I bought the STR 70MM TB with a port matched IM, butt dyno said it was worth it.

you guys running 70mm tb's with a non-forced induction car are ridiculous... i would only think that its going to hinder your performance since you are basically just decreasing your flow veolicty by having that unnecessary large diameter...

Thanks for the info guys. I didn't want to spend 350+ on an Eric's 68mm for minimal gains over a bored out Vtec TB. (Although I was really thinking about it!)

I got a quote of $200 for a bore to 64.5mm and a port match of the upper IM.

yes you will just have to cut up the manifold to enlarge it to 70mm


Personally, I'm gonna run a 50mm TB...
