larger throttle body

like it says, i have an 86 integra d16a motor, are there any throttle bodies of bigger motors that could be fitted on ?

Have you done any other mods that are going to make increased airflow worthwhile? IE cams, header, exhaust etc? Otherwise you ain't going to see any real power increase @ the wheels.

From what I gather, you have no headwork inc. cams or bottom end work, save your money....... bigger TB is gonna do jack shit!

CAI and Zorst is aboust as much power you gonna get out of the thing without opening the engine up.

a larger throttle body will give u less low down and midrange performance. so dont even think about it unless ur turbo/allmtr NA.

well its been rebuilt and has a cat back as well as cai so it goes well... i just want something to do that wont cost the earth... ie turbo, cams, sc...
any ideas ? a high flow cat do any good? people say the headers on that motor are good enough...

Sorry dude, its the hard reality with cars...... you need $$$$ to go substantially faster.

My appologies on destroying your dreams!

so theres nothing around $1500 i can do to make the bitch go harder ?

Other than full exhaust inclusive of high flow cat, and a good CAI setup, I'm afraid not.

Upping compression is the only other thing I could think of by milling the head (not sure on valve piston clearances in the D's), that would chew up $1500 easily if its burning your pocket, but my guess without cams and such it would be like shaving a barbie dolls head, pointless but amusing.
