    Worth getting a TB?

    So I was considering getting larger throttle body for my DC5r, i was doing my research and came across this particular thread:

    http://www.8thcivic.com/forums/intak...ttle-body.html

    this is basically saying that a bigger throttle body wont allow for any benefits unless you are outflowing the capabilities of the stock TB.

    and so this lead me to think: 'are my mods significant enough for me to benefit from a TB?'

    I'd like your thoughts, The only engine mods i have atm are:
    - Injen CAI
    - Xforce headers and cat
    - Custom B pipe
    - Greddy Tic Axleback

    Feel free to also suggest some other engine mods that i may benefit from

    I would look more into cams and pistons to see any gains with a bigger throttle body

    I just read that thread, it actually says in there what mods they believe will show gains with a bigger TB, give it a proper read

    Unless you plan to work the car a fair bit in the future your money is better spent elsewhere on a KPRO+tune or something, Had a skunk2 TB on my EP3 few years back (brought car with it) and replaced it with stock TB - felt little/no difference at all

    Most people who tend to go with bigger throttle bodies are those who have also upgraded their intake manifold. But even with both, without a tune you won't see much gains
    vtak + jrsc = bwwaaaahinneeeee

    IF GUNS don't kill people, people kill people does that mean that toasters don't toast toast, toast toast toast?

    bigger tb plus rrc/rbc with tune is the way to go.
