Is it worth picking up a throttle body?
Just picking up a throttle body and manifold may sound like more power gains, but it could just mean you gain 1-2hp and then thats not worth the time and effort you put into it to get it done. Older cars don’t respond as well to manifolds and throttle bodies anyway as they can’t utilise the extra air flow as they have a very basic ecu.
Do you need to match throttle body to intake manifold?
You need to match your throttle body to your intake and cams that you have. Chucking any old throttle body and intake manifold won’t give you gains and could potentially loose you power. On a Non vtec motor, there really isn’t much to gain as you don’t have a high or low cam you have just the one.
