Hi, does anyone know if there is any differance between a 1998 Civic Type R (EK9)stock Throttle body and one from a (96-98) Civic VTI. Does the Civic Type R one have a larger diameter. Also does anyone know the actual internal diameter of a stock Civic Type R throttle body and the Spoon Sports replacement one.

Thanks.

 

pretty sure the b16b tb is the same size as the b18cr wich is 62mm, the civic vti is 60mm

 

Thanks mmuller. Do you know the internal diameter of the Spoon Sports version?

sorry i dont have that one

 

Thanks mmuller. I am currently thinking about buying one but not fully sure.
Does anyone else have a Spoon Throttle body fitted and do you know the internal diameter? Also would you recommend it.

Thanks.

 

Actually, if I remember correctly, the TB on the B16B is 60mm as well. The ITR is the only motor that comes with a 62mm TB.

 

just run itb's and you wont have to worry about that.

 

Confused now, ha ha. Okay so anyone else know if the Civic Type R B16B Throttle Bodys internal diameter is different to the Civic VTI B16A.

Also can anyone recommend a Spoon Sports one are they any good?

 

the RC 70mm ones are good but i think not made anymore - i just got one off of ebay in great shape for 210 USD shipped

 

Hi, Who are RC, is it an American make? Only get to hear of the big names her in the UK such as Spoon etc......

Thanks.

 

yea, spoon starts out at 70mm BUT it works its way down to a 68 mm which they don't tell ya (what I have been told)

 

What do you mean when you say it works it way down to 68mm?

Thanks.

 

A b16a and b16b tb is different in internal diamter. B16b is 64mm and B16a should be 60mm. What he means is the opening of the Spoon Tb starts at 70mm and tapers down to 68mm. For the price of the Spoon TB its not worth it. You Can buy a Full Billet aftermarket for cheaper.

 

I get you now. Is the Spoon tb gonna make any performance increase then, cause to me its pretty much the same as stock. Shouldn't the butterfly be bigger to. So this Full Billet aftermarket one, where can I get one from as I am in the UK, will they ship. The products here are so limited I hate it. Arhhhh!!! What do you guys run over there which is a popular TB on the Civics 96-98? Or should I just stick with my stock CTR (EK9) TB and spend the money on a better performance item.

Thanks for all the help guys. I have decided to leave my CTR TB.
