I was at a local shop last week, and they had a Skunk2 throttle body over there for a Type-R. Would there even be a point in getting anything like this? I thought that the one on the R was all hand-polished and what not by the two best guys at Honda Japan or something. Any reason to consider this thing?

 

hey..have you seen the spoon throttle body? its an oem type r tb bored from 62mm-to70mm..(im sorry i forgot..bored and tapered)..it should give you a few more hp depending on what your setup is..you might also lose a little torqe on the low end..i talked to a guy at inlinefour.com and he said probably 4hp..w/mugen h/i/e..check out jdmhondaparts.com or inlinefour.com..ill probably get it sometime..later..mugen

 

The throttle body is not hand ported or anything. Mild porting of the TB on a stock motor will improve throttle response. A&J Racing does a really nice job on OEM TB's. Gives you a couple whp.

Oversize TB's on stock motors will degrade throttle response. Likely will create bogging problems.

 

Actually I've always found bigger TB's to improve throttle response but if you go too big you can confuse the stock ECU.

 

MAP sensor right?

 

the spoon gets two big tps allready set..perfect seal..idles like stock..i could never get my bored out one to idle..it was poor craftmanship..

 

Try ERICK's TB from Torrance, Cali. 5-6 HP to the wheels.

 

ON MY MOTOR!!!!!!! I dynoed a Spoon Throttle body and got 0 hp 0 torque. The throttle body is an OEM ITR with the mouth opened up to 70mm. The plate/butterfly is the same size as stock. I made a couple of baselines with the stock T.B. swapped the Spoon in, (about 20 minutes) and reran. The plots were laid over each other and there was no visible difference. So for me . It might have yieled better results with cams? My mods are listed under my bio if you click on my name.

Later Mattj

 

yeah..im sorry to here that dropspeed..i made 2whp pretty much across the board with mine..its a flawless design..i dont see how you could of not gained power..just a stock tbody with a velocity stack..whereas the over bored tbody might hurt your low end torque on a stock r motor
