#221554 Hi guys.

I would like to know if it is advisable for me to port my plennum on my intake manifold or to get a smaller throttle body.

The plennum diameter is 56mm i think and my throttle body is 60 mm.

All advice appreciated.

#221601 Port matching would be best.. you want it to flow evenly... so you have to match your Manifold opening to match the TB your using.

#221618 No a stock 56mm TB is more than enough. If you use a bigger TB you will loose some torque and you whant a stepp from TB to plenum about 2mm

TB 56mm / Plenum 60mm

to prevent reversion same thing with runner to head.

#221638 but his TB is bigger then his plenum its like pushing air from a big str8 to a lil straw. it'll have some kind of restriction... right..

#221683 I was thinking the same about restriction. But apparently bigger isnt always better.

#221691 It's a JDM D15 vtec engine. I currently have a b20b (60mm) throttle on.

So i must get myself the a smaller throttle and port the plennum.

#226344 a bigger tb wont improve much just throttle response... most people i talk to say keep stock... but is the intake many stock?? you shouldn't have to do anything.... but get a stock tb lol!!

#227627 Is your D series Naturally Aspirated or boosted? I would think an NA d series is fine from factory at 58mm, but in a turbo setup airflow is your friend so a larger inlet on your intake manifold would be good.
