how much bigger is the b16 compared to the c2?

If you bypass the FITV your car will not cold start correctly. OBD1 systems need it to control the idle during cold start unless you have a tunable ECU like Hondata to control the IACV based on water temp.

However, if you still want to go ahead with it, it's as simple as removing your throttle body, install the B16 one and plug the hose that normally goes into the FITV into the hose fitting underneath the throttle body instead. Done.

Just curious, what is to gain by using a B16 throttle body on a B18?
