This is a movie that Skunk2 put out on how to install one of their throttle bodies. This movie is actually great because on any Honda the installation is identical. This also shows how to properly calibrate your throttle body outside of the vehicle, which is awesome since you don't have to cut into your harness to get the voltage readings. The install is the same on a D/H/B/K series. Video deleted and posted below  |

The alpha is $130 plus shipping, Omni $120 plus shipping, and almost any other brand is $300-400ish. Also, the Omni idle screw is replaced by some screw on the throttle bracket. That is used to adjust the idle if need be. I researched it last night after talking with you. Thanks for embedding, i don't know how  |

there is a "tube" button to the left of the picture one  , or replace "img" with "youtube" like you would regularly post a picture. On the topic of throttle bodies, people should always remember to pair enhanced air flow in with larger exhausts out so the power isn't stifled on the way out. |

That is correct, but what should be done even more so than that is porting the intake manifold. There is absolutely no point in putting a 70mm throttle body on a 62mm opening (example). You need to file away 8mm's of metal so that the extra air actually gets in faster.
