new skunk2 mani + 73mm TB...running RICH!!??
I just put my skunk2 intake manifold on my 1995 Integra LS engine with a 73mm DH Racing Throttle Body. The car is running extremely rich, any ideas why?? Do I need to get it tuned for such a little mod?

Are you sure that all the sensors are hooked up just as they were removed?

Yeah, double check the sensors, and absolutely check all the vacuum lines. Vacuum lines hooked up the wrong way will cause rich/sputtering conditions.

Namely the MAP and TPS connectors. The clips are identical, and when reversed will cause all sorts of problems.

looks like you only have bolt on's. stock is fine for that. did you even portmatch the manifold to the tb?
i would only use 73mm on a serious all motor or boost engine
