Default anyone using an aftermarket TB?

just wondering who all is using an aftermarket TB...

what kinda are you running?

and does anyone know if a B-Series TB will bolt onto an H-Series intake manifold? (i.e. Spoon Sports 70mm TB)

It should, as I'm aware most 4 cyl Honda's use a 60 mm TB. I'm pretty sure the prelude does as well. If the bolt pattern is the same I'd say go for it. I could be wrong though.

My stock one is bored out to 64mm. OEM is 62mm on both sides

You can bore the ITR one out to 70mm
The S2k is 66mm/62mm and can also be bored out to 70mm, but you have to bypass coolant lines.

well.... i have a friend going to Japan in a couple months, and he is going to be getting me a Spoon Sports 70mm TB for my Integra, so i figured if it will fit, i might as well have hime pick me up 2, one for the Teg, and one for the Lude... i know supposedly a bigger TB won't gain any HP with a turbo, but it should help throttle response regardless, right?

Why not just get the 70mm TB that inlinfour is selling for the H22? here's the link http://www.inlinefour.com/70bigborbilt.html and it looks really nice also. I believe its from the same company that makes the ericks racing TB.

um, i just realized that the pic on inlinefour.com doesn't have a TPS sensor.... how do they market that anyways? you won't be gaining as much without a properly calibrated TPS sensor

I think there's a spot right there for it, you just have to put yours on.

you do realize that Honda doesn't sell TPS sensor alone for a reason don't you...

Honda TPS sensor are very specific, and have to be calibrated to match each individual TB they make
