Boring Throttle body...
I've used MaxBore (http://maxbore.com/index.html) before on my B-series build, and had great results... especially since it was only $100 or so
but, wasn't sure about doing it for the S2000. They said they can bore out the stock S2000 TB to 65mm, anyone ever done this yet?
what kind of gains did you see if so?
Looking at a stock AP2 (well, one with a test pipe).

Well needs to be tappered you dont want a lip, also depending on what you do enterance to the intake manifold needs to be matched.
Look at spoons V2 venturi TB, I'd love to see a dyno graph with a spoon v2 venturi TB vs stock
i really would.
Also the fact the TPS needs setup correctly too.

I think I'm going to use MaxBore for my TB. I've been wanting to get my TB bored since I'm PnPing my IM. Seems very reasonably priced with good workmanship. Once I get the TB back I can have my buddy port match the opening. Thanks for the info guys!

I can't speak to the difference in price, but it's worthwhile noting that we machine new throttle plates for our throttles with a special taper on the edges. Unlike others including the throttles from other vendors mentioned which I have personal experience with, they will not gall into the housing of the throttle body. Ours also are the only ones that have the shafts and housing machined to accept o-rings for maximum seal. It appears there is quite a bit more work that goes into the ScienceofSpeed throttle body.
