well i heard you can take out the butterflys in the throttle body to give it more intake. if i can do the throttle body myself then i will. if anybody has any ideas on how to do this or where i can find information to do this that would be great. if i cant do it myself im looking to spend no more then 500 bucks. anybody have any ideas?

Check this link for do it yourself or do a search for BDC (Brian Cain), a friend of mine said, he does an excellent job at resonable prices.

I hope he doesn't mindme posting this...
PM Hondahater on TeamFC3S. He ported mine for less than BDC would've charged, and the end results are very comparable. I'll get some pics up as soon as I can find my digicam

It doesn't run funny, it's just less tolerant of rapid throttle opening at lower revs (causes a hiccup). It's no big deal, you quickly get used to it, and the benefits outweigh this minor downside.

Why not just do the throttle body mod removing the secondary throttle plates and forget the porting?

But you will have the tools for other jobs later in life. You won't be a victim that has to go to others to fix your problems. Think long term.

Porting the Throttle body is easy, we do it for an extra 25 bucks when we pulish UIM's.... Funny, I haven't done it yet to my OWN car!!!!! To busy makin FCD's and polishing other peoples stuff.
BUT, here's the deal... you have to make sure that once you grind away the excess material, you get it smoothed out, sanded and polished up or your defeating the purpose.
Also, if ALL you are going to do is port the T-Body and the rest of the car is stock..... your wasting your time, its not going to make a noticable difference, BUT, once you start doing things like a TID, Highflow Intercooler, Turbo mods, etc...then you will notice the difference.
