hey i bet its obvious but i want to know how to install the skunk2 throttle body on my jdmh22. my stock throttle body has a hose coming out the bottom and on the skunk2 thats where the map sensor goes. so what do i do the the hose and where it goes to?ps... what is that hose for and what happens if i eliminate it, it connects to the motor. thanks for your help.

jsmooney

isn't the MAP sensor there for JDM preludes? I can't help you there. I know for sure that the "hose" is probably for the coolant thingy

H-Series Pro DOHC VTEC



The Skunk2 Racing Pro-Series Billet Throttle Body increases horsepower and torque by optimizing airflow to your engine. On forced induction applications, this quick bolt-on has shown gains of 50+HP. On high-output naturally aspirated engines, we have seen gains of 10+ hp. Our larger bore throttle bodies are capable of flowing enough air to support over 1000 hp. Skunk2 Pro-Series throttle bodies are precision CNC-machined from forged AL6061-T6 billet aluminum, vacuum tested, and hard anodized for increased durability. With greater reliability and smoother operation, Skunk2 throttle bodies exceed industry standards. We’ve eliminated the factory water lines for cooler operation and each throttle body features a serialized Skunk2 nameplate to ensure authenticity.

• High Flowing Large Bore Capable Of Supporting 1000 HP
• Gains As High As 50+ HP On Forced Induction Applications
• Durable and Corrosion Resistant Hard Anodized Finish
• Uses Factory Throttle Cable
• CNC Forged AL6061-T6 Billet Aluminum
• Sealed Bearings For Smooth Operation
• MAP Sensor Relocated To Bottom side For Cleaner Look
• Eliminates Factory Waterlines For Cooler Operation

now what all do you do with the waterlines? i assume that the motor will be sqirting out water when i remove those lines.. do i plug them? how? and on the motor?

The hose at the bottem is for coolant. Just bypass it.

when i tried to install the skunk2 throttle body, it wont fit all the way to the manifold. (the tps is hitting the iac). i have a adapter plate on the iac already(blacktrax), should i just get another one to give clearance(stack them) or should i get a throttle body spacer? (about the same price)

if i should get the throttle body spacer then what about inside diameter? my skunk2 is 68mm and the spacer is 60mm i think the manifold is 62mm(euro r) i would have to bore out the spacer at least right? what about the mani?
any help would be greatly appreciated.

remy525

also can you adjust the throttle cable length or do you have to adjust the plate that it connects to on the throttle body?

jsmooney

you can adjust the length, there are 2 bolts on there that bolt to the plate that bolts to the Intake Manifold

sorry - I searched quick but couldn't find a pic. follow the throttle cable from the throttle body back towards the driver's side....the will see the bolts right before the black covering starts (assuming its LHD)

remy525

what about a throttle body spacer vs. iac adapter?
does the tb spacer give any positive effects?
will stacking two iac adapters have any negative effects on how my motor runs?

jsmooney

I can't answer those questions for you, but I am interested to know the answers as I have seen the TB Spacers and haven't heard anything about them

remy525

ahhh... well i called blacktrax about having two iac adapter plates and they said dont do it because ill lose vacuum, so i guess ill be getting a throttle body spacer. but ill mill out some of the center to match the 68mm throttle body

jsmooney

what exactly does the spacer do?

what exactly does the bored out TB do?

how much gains are we talking here?

remy525

the spacer was supposed to cause the entering air to vortex or something, but i just need it so the skunk2 throttle body will fit onto the euro r manifold.

the tb isnt bored out its just bigger my guess is about 5-10 hp, i just needed a new one because my old one sticks, it really bugs me. plus quicker throttle response

ill have to get back to you on exactly howmany hp i get, but ill take whatever i can get.

any new updates?
