fit with k series throttle body

Is it possible to fit a k series throttle body to an L15 motor with an adapter.

I'd be interested to know this, since the Blitz throttle controller is the same for GD3's and Civic Si's.

I should call the junk yard and see if they have one and see if there's anyone who wants to try it.

I guess anything's possible as long as you're willing to make it work.

And the DBW connector plugs may be different.-

honda has 4 differant dbw connectors. most of this has been layed out in a throttle body thread somewhere here. the k20 throttle body would not help performance much cause the motor can only flow so much air.

its like putting a funnel in your mouth and pouring beer into the funnel. no matter how much beer you pour in, the smallest part of the funnel will only allow so much through it.


the best bet would be to add a ge8 throttle body to a gd3 since it is 3mm bigger.
