i got a chance to get a SPOON 70mm throttle body...would i have to do mods to my intake mani if i want this to fit/work well.......i gotta 1gen b16a...will i run into any problems going this big, this will be my first mod on this engine.....help me please before the deal gos bye bye..........thanx

 

there should be no problems.

 

wrong

it will not be worth it as your first mod. you need some headwork for that big an tb to work well. otherwise you could lose hp. in addition you'd need to port match you intake manifold to the tb size. that is open up the i/m opening up to 70mm.

 

the spoon throttle body is not a true 70mm at the throttle , it starts at 70mm then works down to about 68 or so. spoon throttle body is a stock ITR. just that spoon bores it out.
the best thing to do is get a ITR manifold . the combo works well
and will bolt up with no problems ...cool

 

even if i dont put it in right now....this thing is $175 obo...so if i got a skunk2 manifold it would be good?

 

hell yea.....do it .. spoon retail is $600 . i have a spoon throttle body on my skunk2 manifold. i would hella do it

 

Just make sure to port-match it to the IM and use the proper TB gasket.

 

i agree with snoopy . most of the time you will only gang 1 hp and lose 8-10 tq . 70mm is too big .

 

if the spoon is under 3 bills i would get it as true spoon prods are expensive and hard to come by as im shure you know, you should have no prob at all. however i would recomend the next mod you get be a intake manifold like the JG or maybe even a knock off the JG..!
