Well, yes and no. I will only be able to speculate on the gains from this as there are other things also involved. So the upcoming dyno will be inclusive of other parts such as more boost and the intercooler.

 

oh i see

 

Greetings Steve,

After waiting for 3 weeks to get the Icebox it is now it. I ordered the K&N filter as I too prefer the K&N over foam.

I am on vacation this week, so I sent my throttle body to King Motor Sports today. They said they would have it back to me by Friday.

As you say, it can't hurt and the price is reasonable.

Hope all is well with the family.

Take care...

D

 

Hey Dennis,

Good deal and of course let us know what your observations are. Although it isn't enough to really feel power gains there may be a noticeable change in throttle response.

 

Scalbert,

Could you post instructions on how to remove the throttle body.

Is it easy to remove the throttle cables? I may send my throttle body to King Motorsports but I don't want to take the cables off and not be able to get them back on correctly.

Thanks

 

To remove it is fairly easy. By turning the throttle by hand and pulling the slack up on the cable, you can turn and remove the cable end.

From there just remove the electrical connectors, three in all and the two coolant lines.

There are two bolts and two nuts to remove. Once loosened it may not be free. Mine, when removed for the SC installation, would not budge, took a little forced to break the seal.

 

Did you receive a new gasket with the ported TB?

I am taking mine off the next chance I get.

 

Nope, but I had one lying around. However, it was fine after the removal and I reused it.

 

So what ws the gains on this again...............anybodi ...... ////???? ?

 

Yay 4 year old thread lol. I am curious as to what the gains are too.

 

I had my previous B16 TB bored from Maxbore for $100...I think I might send my TB in to them here soon once the weather gets better and I can ride my CBR in the sun.

 

I wouldn't expect more than a few HP. Even if you are boosted.

I would add this to the very bottom of the "mod list"

 

what if not.

 

huh?

freeing up the throttle body should give the engine a few more ponies. 150 bucks is a steal for a big bore on any TB.

 

Since I got my license suspended. Looks like i'm going to send mine out tomorrow to get it bored out.
