I have searched and cant find anything on this. I was wondering if anyone who has done the D16Y8 intake manifold swap has used a throttle body other that the D17 one? I want to use a larger one like off of a B series motor. I know that you would have to change the sensors and wiring but I was wondering if anyone had done this and got any gains from it?? Thanks

I don't claim to have any concrete knowledge on this, but I believe members have used Mustang throttle bodies in the past, at least I think Supermex did at one point. I think there was a lot of custom work done, obviously.
a buddy of mine had a b series intake manifold on a d16. of course that would work with a b series throttle body?

You mean this thing?
is a 73mm TB from Mustang Gt
You'll have to make a custom intake (the plastic stock we have sucks) you will lose cruise control and, have to relocate the stock sensors it will work best with a stand along computer or you'll get a check engine light.
I'm the only one running this set up.
Is the god honest truth sorry for the uncompromized modesty or lock there off.
Is a fact

I had a y8 with a d17 tb and IAC assembly. I have cnc flanges that I weld on and I make a custom T cable bracket. The y8 wasnt too bad for me felt pretty descent.
Oh, for the newer members, that 73mm TB is useless BTW. Look at the size of the charge pipe, if it cant flow the cfm that the TB can its not doing any more for you . Just another example of someone doing a useless mod to say its done. Andy kept his stock TB and made more power as far as I know. Mex, no offence but you come back on here and post all your shit up like you are the only one that ever had a fast car. My civic is a hobby compared to the cars I have built and I am insulted by your cockyness as are other members. Anyways back on topic. You dont have to have someone make you a shiny part to have an effective setup. The Y8 is a good low buck swap if you have the skills to get it on there.

No offence taken
The proof is in the pudding.
Sorry I insulted you I'll send you some flowers later.

Andy that's true, anyone who has money can make a car fast. You earn real respect when you do it yourself then you can help others. That's how people learn.
Yeah, but that's not what this thread's about. Let's keep it on topic. We're talking about throttle bodies and IMs, this isn't a pissing contest.
Sorry for getting off topic, I haven't done the swap myself but threw all the reading I have done on the topic the d16y8 is the best way to go. Considering it is not very costly and is great for a turbo setup.
damnnnnn lol. pretty harsh supermex eh? and with all do respect you spelled a few words wrong lol. [not hating] some of the stuff mex said is true though. i think andy is just mad someone made 400whp before he did lol
