Ok guys I have a question. I have heard that the skunk 2 throttle body throws cel's and has a rough idle. I have heard of people putting the Acura Mdx and tl type s throttle bodies on the 8th gen civic si's. Comments, concerns, suggestions?

I have done the TL on an 8th gen myself. No quality and performance can beat OEM when that's an option. I know that the DBW is a real beast to work with.
I am about to post the 72mm skunk2 for the k series.
I'm running a tsx and it's a bolt on process, though I would like the j37tb because oem is best . The skunk2 needs to be calibrated and it can be a pain !Quote:

The Research and Development, let alone the standards for their products are typically much higher than any aftermarket company because of the wide range of the possible conditions the product(s) will undergo. I have yet to figure out the best TB option since I'm running the stock 07 Si TB. But these guys will take care of you and let you know what's best. I'm in for info!Quote:

And I have two p2r thermal gaskets also, one on either side of the adapter. Oh and you will need to either install a screw in fitting where the MAP sensor hole is, or Innovative Motorsports Technologies sells a nice CNC fitting that doesn't require tapping it, just push in and uses stock MAP sensor screw hold down, which is what I use.
