you can get the Type S TB but the CL does not like it and it will idle and rev funny, i mean you can tune it with the screw but it still runs funy ive tried on mine but i ended up putting the old one back on, you might be able to widen the stock one a little for some more air flow but the Type S i dont think its worth the time

Iceman also makes throttle bodies for the f22 but I didn't know how much that would improve airflow over stock.

That would be a little more expensive than a throttle body.

indeed. a turbo cost alot more than just the initial cost and some people make money in different incriments / time so its easier for them to spend 400-500 than 2000-3000 plus whatever the install is if they do not choose to do it themselfs.

hm yes but un noticible mods that give you 2-10 hp are really a waste of money in the end you will still want more, so instead of paying 300 bucks for 2 hp save it till you can buy something thats actually useful... i knwo full well the cost of a turbo kit, i also know that bolt ons for a f2x arent going to do shit... yea get a cai and a muffler if you want but otherwise go big or go home... just my opinion.

It may seem like a waste of money, but it makes the car a lot more fun to drive.

:imwithstupid:

especially on the 3.0 since a turbo is not meant on the 3.0 tranny and the supercharger is too much, more than a TC

a nice TB would be nice, i know that Kingmotorsports has one made for the V6 accord and i think their website is www.kingmotorsports.com

check out v6performance.net and search for it, a lot of peps on there have bought it and i think they did a group buy on it a while back but im not too sure
