These question are going to seem redundant but I didn’t want this to get over looked if I just added it in the other thread, (Attn Brian! I need to regain thread starter of the year title) but anyways…

What’s the deal with throttle bodies? Heard that I should go with a gsr throttle body, anyone chime in on this. Any other throttle bodies recommendend, it will be teamed with the Skunk2 manifold I just bought.

Port matching smooths flow? That Edelbrock sounds good.

the air flow would be going small to big. by only a few mm. (i wouldnt be too worried about it, unless you want the extra .5-1 hp.) but if u had a tb larger than your intake manifold, and not port matched you would be defeating the purpose and creating an abrupt bottleneck for the air flow. all and all its a honda it will run and drive fine with no matter what you decide to put on it.

i had my throttlebody done by maxbore. he does excellent work for the money. mines at 66mm and still uses a factory type r gasket. if you can spare a week or so without the throttlebody i also suggest max bore. just make sure you overly clear with the return address.
