Morning fellas

:wavey:

So what do you guys think about the tsx throttle body? I picked one up a couple months ago for a good price with the idea I may use it on a built motor. Since my motor is going I'll likely be building that after winter and I'm wondering if you guys thinks its worth using? My charge piping will still be the same at 2.5". The motor build I have in mind is very basic, Manley I beam rods, JE 10.5:1-11:1 compression pistons likely at 86.5mm with stock cams and stock valve train. Power goal would be not that much more than before, if anything this build is more for reliability than anything.

It's good. But we did the TL swap on an 8th gen and it was a huge difference in size

I honestly don't see the point if your forcing the air into the TB, when producing boost after the TB like a roots blower its very important to not reducing incoming air. I don't think you will see any gains or difference in your turbo setup running a slightly larger TB.

On rotrex we've seen gains going with the 74mm tb.
