Throttle body

[theDougler]

i was looking on edelbrocks website and they had a 70&75mm throttle bodies would these work with the universal adapter? thought i would get your guys opinion
here's the link for more info

They even offer undrilled ones. Smart 'lil buggers :)

Yes they would work... if you got the undrilled ones for sure.

The acura/honda adapter one will probably fit the B series manifold for sure... if the A20 and B series manifolds have the same bolt pattern for the TB, then go for it. :)

Damn I want that universal throttle linkage for any eventual carb I might get... I think it would work nicely.

Youd need to grind the living shit out of the intake manifold to even get close to getting that beeotch to fit

Yeah it even says; Intake port matching may be required in some cases.

there is the 65mm TB option on the first page.

Not sure what your reasong behind buying a bigger TB is but, just thought I'd add this quote from High-Performance Honda Builder's Handbook by Joe Pettitt


Over-sized throttle bodies offer a larger diameter opening and flow more air. Is this a restriction in the system? If your engine combination downstream from the throttle body won't flow anymore air, then the larger throttle body can't help. In fact, it may hurt off-idle performance. Once you do make changes to allow the engine to flow more air, it can help make more power. Keep in mind when you imporve airflow, you must also calibrate the fuel flow to match, or you're not going to go faster He then goes on to explain that ob TB's make you feel faster b/c at part-throttle they allow more air in *but, the head/intake can still flow the amount let in* so the more air + the available gas = more hp. BUT at WOT you're intake/head can't flow this much air so it will create "disordered" air pressure making you actually lose horsepower. There's a whole chapter on Air Dynamics and the fore front principle is, you're engine has to have the ability to use the increased air*and fuel* otherwise you'll "bog" and will not be happy w/ your "full-race P&P" or "Over-bored TB". Just food for thought :)

I have a Gude 65mm t/b and matched intake manni.:) :)
Now I just need to install it, if I keep the car.

[gfrg88]

I if I keep the car.
:slap:
what do you mean "if you keep the car":eek5: you better not sell that car, if you want to get rid of it just give it to me :wave:

[bobafett]

i reccomend against selling the 3g, especially after all the work u did to it...

HOWEVER - if you do sell, you should help me retrofit those HID's onto my car! what would you want to get out of them?
