@JEMMotorsports, we didn't pull out the stud extractor because most garage DIY'ers won't have one in their tool kit. The goal of this video was to show how to install the product with some basic tools. :)

I have the same for my d16 and it has worked perfectly.

if you calibrate the tps, closed and wot, you'll never have the butterfly stick

and adjust your throttle cable to allow for max travel closed and wot.

@ Kyle the iacv doesn't hook up to the throttle body it hooks up to the intake manifold. you must have left something unplugged. only the fitv would be on the throttle body an the ecu won't throw a code for it because it's mechanical not electrical

I have a 70 mm throttle body where do I need to put that at I heard stock is 5 why do I see 6 something on your throttle body settings

Can you make a video on how to install a skunk2 pro series intake manifold?

[cowvs]

Installed this in H22 engine
It's more powerful when the VTEC is armed, but the idle is higher than the stock one.

[timwilliams]

Is the tps sensor reading very important if you can program it in the computer?

[SkunkRacing]

@chewbakage, your OEM sensors should work fine for this application.

[SkunkRacing]

@myjaycer, take another look at the video when you get a chance, you'll see the gasket peeking out from behind the Skunk2 Alpha Series throttle body when he places it on the intake manifold.

[kaslogan]

He looked hesitant on drawing that last 6 lol

[jonathanweir]

I installed mine with out checking the voltage. works fine

[hunterclements]

With these install it does require a tune on the ecu correct?

[kemalkeza]

piece of shit throttle body, 2 years have nothing but issues, throttle sticking when closed, throttle sticking open, idle hunting, cels, cant get tps to correct values at wot, it can never truly be fixed without a single problem left over at the minimum

[JEMMotorsports]

1:20 IT IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED TO USE A STUD EXTRACTOR for removing these studs.
C'mon Dr."C"... spend the extra 20 bucks on the tool when the next tool truck shows-up. j/k LOL!

SKUNK2, YOU GUYS ROCK....
GREAT VIDEO!!! BTW, ... we refer to it regularly for our clients when they install.

keep up the awsome work...

sincerely,

I got this for my 2001 integra Ls, can I re use the stock sensors ?

[brad]

i appreciate that they put this out there but they messed up the most important part. They say u need to measure the TPS "votage" but when they zoom in to the mutimeter, he's actually measuring the resistance

[TheLillman]

i installed mine without checking the voltage, and it works fine.

[albertoruiz]

U guys should post a video on how 2 install an intake mani

[aaronlittlevoice]

Can I install this on a stock manifold for a 00 civic

[cdx]

If there is no coolant bypass hoses hooked up will this cause your car to not run ?
