Tobad, I mean of course murasa doesn't have on listed for our car . hmmmm wonder if the 2.0l prelude on would work
Doesn't hurt to call them and dig up more info. They might do a custom job!
hey oldschool, i do know that he wanted an aftermarked manifold for performance. but i asked that question, hoping he would know that u can always bore out your stock manifold. i mean, compared to doing all the regual upgrades, not many ppl invest in aftermarket throttle bodies, unless ppl like justin who has a turbo.

hook up a vacuum gauge to your intake manifold and get on the highway (or a nice stretch of road) haul ass until you redline your engine in 2nd gear. If vacuum builds even a little bit at WOT at redline then you should get a performance gain from one, if not then don't bother getting one until you do some other mods.

I have only owned carbed vehicles all my life. So I'm noy to EFI smart YET. I just read that you can gain up to 8Hp from throttle body so I was just wondering if some company made them for our car. I didn't actually know you can bore it out yourself !
Thanx though
u cannot bore your throttle body yourself, as in with your own hands (unless u know what u are doing and have a machine). but u can custom bore your existing throttle body.
Just curious, but what if I took my Dremel to the throttle body? I don't think I would trust myself but has anybody done this?
your throttle body contains a throttle plate... increase the body and you'll have to increase the plate.

exactly, like mike A20A1 said if u do it yourself, u will find yourself in a weird situation of the throttle plate. custom workshops put a bigger plate in after they bore it out for you. Of if u are really hardheaded and have time and an extra free throttle body, its a good thing to do it yourself and see if u can make yourself a homemade 'good working' bored out throttle body and a throttle plate. and one thing, dremel would not do such a good job, u need something cylinderical that would take off the metal evenly rather than bumps and humps.
