Jdm dc2r, boring out throttle body

[tinkerbell]

nah man, we are all talking from different perspectives,

the middle ground was reached about 10-15 posts ago,

but THEN Blitz brought it wonderfully off topic, and brings up the side issue of tapering, which is largely related to theories about the Venturi effect...

which is what was mentioned initially by yellow-dc2, but was not actually what the OP was asking about.

I KNOW you were responding to the OP in his question, and we will agree to disagree on the relative gains from a bored TB on a stock engine.

I say it will only improve throttle response, not power,

and you will say it improves both.

since I can’t provide proof that it does NOT increase power, and you can’t provide proof that it DOES, then we are going to have to let it slide...

it is ironic that Blitz brought us back to the original 2nd and 3rd post though...

Funny huh, i will agree to disagree, but i would still even for my own sake like to see some before/after dyno results.
Maybe one day i will get a chance to do it!!
If i get the civic fired up again or the engine into a different car, i will borrow my g/f's stock T.B and do a dyno day or something, swap, them over and do three runs with each!!

I think that a tapered bore would have about as much effect on a stock motor as one of those electric ebay supercharger kits would HA!
