I just put a 65mm JG on my Skunk2 mani with the GSR swap. Fits great. Not sure if it works yet. Car won't idle so I can't say.

I used a JG on my B18a. Fit great. It took a while to get though, as I didn't want to be out of a car for a week while they sent it to me (core exchange).

Idle problem caused from throttle body? tps? the reason why I ask is because I'm sick of trying to set my tps on my old tb. I have been through 3 tps's and set them correctly and I still throw a tps code.

What do you mean set the TPS? You can't "set" it. I can't wait to go play with it after work

I capped off the TB vacuum on top so I think I need to run that to the EVAP. Might fix it. Air probably needs to come before the TB instead of after (duh!). Using vacuum distribution block with turbo gets you spoiled. I also need to check the IACV and clean it or even swap it out with my old one. Lots of stuff to check...

I blocked off the whole FITV section and bypassed the cooling system completely since I am in AZ. (https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=596485)

Yes you can set your tps. You have to take a multimeter to it and have it at a certain point. A haynes manual tells you how to do it.

TPS shouldn't need to be 'set' on stock throttle body. If TPS code, Honda recommends replacing sensor, which a lot of times means replacing TB.

As far as the JG Edelbrock TB goes, the only thing that I see on a semi consistent basis with these is that most seem to have a misadjusted throttle stop which holds throttle plate open too much at idle and caused high or erratic idle. easy to adjust though.

Just my 2 cents though...

the return spring seems to be too soft, not allowing the TB to close completely..
