That's cool man, i didn't post the pic for sympathy, i'm well over it now, it was 12 months ago, but, yeah, maybe you can see why...

If the car was still around, i would be tempted to dyno with, and then without type R T.B to see if there is an KW difference of any kind, but as i have said, i am confident that there would have been!

I don't have any before/after dyno results, as they guy that fine tuned it for me prefers to tune real time on the track/street, so we were out in the open when we did it!!

you see, there is the flipside to what you are saying...

if there WAS a difference, when people dyno'd after a TB change, you would be able to find posts about it.

but there aren't any... are there? even the in the Maxbore vouch thread?

see my reason for posting that - to allow you to seek teh answers yourself???

ATEOTD - on a relativly stock engine it is about throttle response, i.e. what the original poster WAS ACTUALLY ASKING ABOUT before yellow-dc2 started going on about Venturi etc etc trying to sound 'all knowing' or 'super-technical'

in fact, if you search all of http://www.honda-tech.com/zerosearch archives, you will consistently find people saying boring TB's provides little gains untill you get a turbo...

let us know if you find any dynos prints that show power gains from just a TB upgrade

**yellow-dc2** · 04-12-2007 11:14 AM

why don't instead of us trying to prove to you, YOU try and prove to us that a larger TB on a stock engine will NOT make more power, you have not presented an argument as well as toy honda and kiz-eg6, so it really seems pointless you continuing this.

kiz-eg6 doesn't need to prove him self to you, he knows for him self, i know from other people's experiences that i have seen with my own eyes.

what experience do you have with a B18 tinkerbell?
