**update**
got somethin else today .. woot!.. 64mm TB.. 66mm at opening

my JDM EG6 intake.. look at the difference in the tube size and the insulation in the JDM box....

it will go well with my BLOX manifold and bored TB.. and the Hondata intake gasket to keep it nice and cool..

 

[civicious]

what's the insulation in the airbox do?

 

[eg6sir]

i'm guessing keep heat out

 

[eg6sir]

got somethin else.. woot!

 

[civicious]

What brand TB is that? The lip on the opening looks really really thin...

 

[eg6sir]

its a b16 throttle body..

 

[Celerity]

looks bored out. The B16 / B18 should have a 60mm TB, no ?

 

[eg6sir]

yea... its a bored b16 TB.. originally 60mm ...62mm at opening..

 

[civicious]

I'd be careful with it...if it's that thin, it's VERY possible for it to crack and fall off where your intake tube is bolted on. I've seen it happen more than once...

 

[TurboMirage]

yeah...


happened on a buddy of mine's turbo mirage. had his 52mm TB bored out to 60mm, tightened the T-clamp too much and a piece of the TB dropped into the motor ultimately fucking a valve hardcore. luckily nothing else was damaged!

 

[EGProject]

Haha, Danny's mirage...Me and Ryan helped him put the head back on, and diagnose a fucked valve.

 

[TurboMirage]

yeah and then idiot gave me the wrong timing mark and ultimately fucking up the valves again!

then we blamed the machine shop and they fixed everything for free minus parts

 

[eg6sir]

well.. luckily i dont clamp my intake on.. its the stocker that fits snug enough not to clap down..

and its not as thin as it looks in the picture
