D series throttle body which is better
I have a D16Y8 with a built bottom end
10.5:1 SRP pistons
eagle H beams
balanced
head studs
I/H/E
adj cam gear
ACT flywheel and clutch
Skunk2 Intake manifold
My previous intake was an auto so I have to replace the throttle body (good excuse to get an aftermarket one). What is a good size for my engine and what has all the sensor spots. I see the edelbrock come with a TPS which I like but shows it only for B16/18's but from what I've seen and read there all the same on the Honda's. what sensor is on the top of my TB now I was thinking it was the MAP sensor do any aftermarket TB's have the place for this? What about the FITV I know everybody says junk it but it would be nice to have all the benefits of OEM pieces.

Just unscrew the MAP sensor you have from your throttle body and zip tie a hose to the nipple on it. Connect that to a manifold vacuum source and roll.
If you want a cleaner install, get a MAP sensor off of an old DX. Most of them are already set up like that instead of being screwed down to the throttle body, and the hose barb on the sensor is much easier to work with.
and ^^^ what he said... B-series manifold won't fit a D-series.
