My Hondafold has a GS-R TB on it, but I bought a Skunk 70mm to go on it.

One of these days when I'm feeling less lazy about installing the thing I'll mount it up and *try* to see about doing a before/after dyno. Still have to:

- Clean out the step at the join
- Learn about what changes I need to make to my tune IOT maximize my ROI and protect the engine
- Order coldside parts for larger TB
- Install

Derp.

I'm running a factory B18 TB/TPS on Theseus. I do not have an idle valve, though, since it attaches into the manifold and not the throttle body.

Sav, if you feel like posting anything like a walkthrough for using the Honda TPS with MS, I'd love to see it.

It would make sense to use the honda TB and Idle valve; the linkage should work. But there's no reason you cant adapt it for the stocker.

kotomile Feb 6, 2012 11:30 AM

You could adapt it for the stocker, but even the stock Honda TBs are bigger than ours by about 5mm at the low end.

Braineack Feb 6, 2012 11:36 AM

and are very cheap to get ported properly.

kotomile Feb 6, 2012 11:49 AM

Just make sure the screws stay in place, eh?

Braineack Feb 6, 2012 11:55 AM

something like that. more like a butterfly that matches the port.

I'm definitely doing this with my new motor- skunk2 knockoff with stock B series TB. I'll post up details if it hasn't already been done by then

The Honda TPS functions exactly like a Mazda 3-wire TPS.

1. Connect the wires correctly
2. Set the throttle range
3. Win

kotomile Feb 6, 2012 07:07 PM

Cool. I guess I need to look into how the Mazda 3-wire TPS is wired up and how to set a throttle range, lol.

I'm such a useless n00b.

Where are you folks finding the B series Throttle body for this? I think I may do this with the godspeed myself..

Any junkyard anywhere in the country will have a B18 throttle body for sale.

dgmorr Feb 7, 2012 02:04 PM

What do you set your idle to without an idle valve, 1500rpm or so?

Braineack Feb 7, 2012 02:43 PM

I had to run without a valve for a week. Idle was set at 800RPM.

pusha Feb 7, 2012 02:52 PM

subbed so I can come back here soon.

thanks bros!

miatauser123 Feb 7, 2012 04:27 PM

What would you expect to pay for an ITR intake manifold with the BP flange welded to it ready to go?

kotomile Feb 7, 2012 07:46 PM

I paid around $300 for mine, second-hand.
