Have the ProFlow TB installed on a NA S2000.

Had it dyno'ed and saw nothing compared to stock.

Bottom line for NA S2000s, save your money.

i cant believe people would spend $ on a bigger throttle body. think about it.

lets just say your throttle body is 4 inches in circumference and now you make it 5 inches. sure it might sound like you have 1 inch bigger which alows more flow. but what about when you connect it onto the intake manufold? dont you have to hone that out to make it match???

You sure do post a lot for someone who ............
i was using that size as an example which i stated in my post. what i am saying is, why bother with a TB, it wont do jack.
i had a 1992 honda civic 4 door with a 1996 GSR motor which i bought a throttle body and also port and polished the intake manifold and guess what?? i didnt notice jack. just because you produce more air flow doesnt necessarily mean its better, it was a waste of $ for sure which i have learned my lesson in. once thing i have noticed and definitely believe, its hard to produce much more HP on our s2000 NA.
i mean C'mon 120 per litre, how much more do you want ?

SC/TURBO/NOS maybe VAFC anything else is BS and just a marketing gimmic to make $ like an exhaust for example. sure its lighter than a stock exahust, sounds louder but produces lets say 2 HP more. wooopeee for a whopping $500-1000 dollars. why do you see so many people on here selling exhaust and headers?? because they too know they made a big mistake and if you see most of the people decided on going with a SC instead. if i wanted noise, i can just go and buy a ultra flow or a borla and weld it on.


take a look at baxdatass, $1700 and 3 hp gain. even if he gained 10hp, do you think he is a happy camper right now??

i just want it to be known that you should never listen to marketing gimmics. they are out to make $ and suckers will get ripped off. this is just my .02

Did you have your intake manifold drilled/bored to accept the larger TB's?
