Will I be able to use my D16Y8's stock sensors (like the tps) on the throttle bodyfrom a B16 or do I need the sensors from the B16 with it? Also on a side note, anyone know where I can get one for cheaper than $175?

 

Yeah Im pretty sure your sensors should work. Most of the sensors are the same and the Z6 sensor plugs worked on the H22 so I wouldn't see why the D16 wouldn't work on the B16. Ive noticed that alot of them can be interchanged.

So your wanting to use a B16 TB on your Y8..How big of a difference is it and any noticable gains?

 

I'm getting an Edelbrock intake manifold with a B16 throttle body because it is 60mm andthe guys over at d-series.orgthink the aftermarket throttle bodys are way to big for my little D. (They are around 65-70) I don't know really what to expect in the way of gains, shouldn't be much until I get a cam and P&P.
Thanks for the help.

 

No problem.
PM me when you do get it done cause Ive been wondering about that myself.

 

yeah it will all work they all plug in the same !!! i thought that to then i bought a honda swap book from autozone and it said they are the same good luck hope it runs grate!!!!!!!

 

In order to get the most gains out of a bigger throttle body you'd really need a bigger intake manifold, bigger cam and higher compression. The intake manifoldinlet should be bigger then the throttle body. Throwing on alarger throttle body willonlyyield a better throttle response, but no real power gains.You don't want to port match due to the reversion of air flow. I was told that it was always better to have the intake manifold inlet should be about 4mm bigger. Take it for what it's worth.

 

I actually changed my mind about this a few days ago. I'm not going to do this until if/when I rebuild my engine because of the same reasons you are telling me. I'm just going to buy my nitrous kit in about a month or two then see if that is enough power for me, if not then eventually I will get the ***** to pull my engine apart then get an intake manifold with it.
