RBC intake manifold upgrade? and 06/07 Si throttle body

[TurbanRacer]

Has the 06/07 Honda Civic Si RBC intake manifold crossed any of your minds? along with the drive by wire 06-07 Civic Si throttle body?

What about maybe swapping over a 06/07 Civic Si internal transmission gear set with OEM LSD into yur 6spd TSX tranny..

All these above with a CAI, headers and catback with a Hondata reflash.. now we talkin

They say the RBC intake manifold does not yield any gains. They say that the RBC helps in the higher RPMS slightly but our intake manifold is where we get out torque

Who told you that and what does it has to do with you?

If you are not sure, search.

The 06 Si TB is extremely similar to the TSX 06 TB, this is due to both running off the K-Series engine; and the 06 Si IM is similar to RBC.

The S2000 TB, size is 62.5mm. Depends on which year of TSX you had, the 06+ comes w/ a 64mm TB, any reason you would like to switch for S2000 TB?

BTW: S2000TB only fits F-series engine.

first off i can't remember where i saw that information, maybe it was honda-tech. and as for what it has to do with me!! well ALOT.. i plan on droppin the06/07 SI 6spd gearset along with the LSD.. I just picked up the 06/07 Si RBC intake manifold and next i guess i'll try to find a 06+ TSX TB..

Oh BTW.. this is FACT.. AP1 S2000 tb's fit B.series ALSO, not just F.series

I don't know if the S2000 TB fits on B-series, maybe, I'm not sure. But none of the picture below shown me it's a direct fit?

What I'm saying is, if you have a 06+ TSX, then your TB will probably the same as the 06+ Si in term of volume/size (64mm). If you would like to bolt it on to the RBC, you do NOT need the 06 Si+ TB; all you need is an Kcarpet adapter, or simply a TB Spacer (a specific one) will do the work. Unless you want it to be bigger, your only choice will be max bore it.

I'm just saying I don't see how's the S2000 TB doing anything for the K-series...

If I'm not mistaken, my 04 TSX TB is 60mm only, which is 4mm less than the 06 TSX TB (64mm).

I've got the 06TB to replace my 04 TB, but before putting it in I will send it along w/ my TB spacer, IM to maxbore for some work done, hopefully 68mm+.

Sorry to burst your bubbles. I've already done the tranny gearing swap ;]
