Hey guys,

The throttle body on my 2000 Si is binding and no amount of cleaning is getting it slinky smooth like it should be. I'm looking to buy a replacement TB, but it looks like the OEM part is discontinued.

What's a good aftermarket TB to get? I'm trying to stick to stock bore since I don't plan to replace the intake manifold.

Also, is the procedure for replacing the TB as simple as bolting on the replacement and transplanting the sensors over, and then letting the car run for a bit while the ECU re-learns the new system (at least that's what I've read, but kinda seems too easy...)


Thanks!!

It looks like Majestic Honda still lets you buy them even though they're discontinued. I was just able to add one to my shopping cart.

Yup, you're right. The price is ridiculous though!! What's a good (cheaper) aftermarket alternative?

I'm not too sure. OEM would still probably be best, and you might be able to find a decent one at a pick and pull lot.

I'd go with used OEM, but the issue is that the throttle body is specific to the Si (unless I'm mistaken) so finding one might be an issue.
