102mm throttle body for LS1, LS2, LS3, LS6, Lsx

102mm throttle body for LS1, LS2, LS3, LS6, Lsx

A 102mm throttle body for LS1, LS2, LS3, LS6, or other LSx engines can offer several advantages, primarily related to improving airflow and performance. Here are some key benefits:


1. Increased Airflow

A larger throttle body allows for more air to enter the engine, which can result in improved performance, especially at higher RPMs. The 102mm throttle body is a significant upgrade over stock throttle bodies, which are typically smaller in diameter.


2. Improved Engine Response

With more air available for combustion, the engine can respond more quickly to throttle inputs, resulting in sharper acceleration and a more immediate throttle response.


3. Support for Increased Power

If you’ve upgraded your engine with forced induction (superchargers or turbochargers), or if you’re running a high-performance camshaft or heads, a larger throttle body can help support the increased airflow demands, leading to more efficient combustion and potentially more power.


4. Optimized for High RPM Operation

The 102mm throttle body is especially beneficial for high-RPM applications, where the engine requires higher volumes of air to maintain optimal performance. It helps maintain airflow efficiency and power output as RPM increases.


5. Potential for Tuned Performance

When paired with other supporting mods (e.g., intake manifold, headers, camshaft), a larger throttle body can contribute to an optimized air/fuel ratio, which can result in better overall tuning potential and performance gains.


6. Compatibility with High-Performance Builds

Many LSx enthusiasts use larger throttle bodies for race or performance builds. A 102mm throttle body is typically used for high-performance street and track cars that need more airflow to handle increased power.


7. Improved Throttle Control and Driveability

Some modern larger throttle bodies include advanced features like better throttle control and smoother operation, especially when integrated with electronic throttle control (ETC) systems, giving the driver more precision.


8. Better Overall Efficiency

If you’re running a high-performance engine, a 102mm throttle body helps to maximize the engine’s efficiency, particularly when paired with other complementary upgrades such as cold air intakes and high-flow fuel injectors.


Considerations:

Throttle Response vs. Driveability: While a larger throttle body can help with performance, it’s essential to make sure that other components of the intake and fuel system can match the increased airflow. Otherwise, it may result in issues like poor throttle response at low RPMs or incorrect air/fuel mixture.

Tuning: Upgrading to a 102mm throttle body typically requires a proper tune to ensure the engine is properly calibrated for the increased airflow.


In summary, upgrading to a 102mm throttle body can significantly enhance the performance of LS1, LS2, LS3, LS6, or LSx engines, particularly in high-performance or forced induction applications. 

However, it is essential to ensure that the rest of the engine’s components and the tune are optimized for the upgrade to realize the full benefit.

K20 Racing Inlet Manifold 70mm EP3/ DC5

The K20 Racing Inlet Manifold 70mm is a high-performance aftermarket part designed for the Honda K20 engine.

Commonly found in vehicles like the Honda Civic EP3 (2002-2005) and Honda Integra DC5 (2001-2006). 

This inlet manifold is designed to improve airflow to the engine, resulting in better throttle response and potential performance gains, particularly in higher RPM ranges.

Here are some key features and benefits of the K20 Racing Inlet Manifold (70mm):

1. Larger Throttle Body Opening (70mm): The 70mm throttle body opening is larger than the stock manifold, allowing for more air to flow into the engine. This can lead to an increase in horsepower and torque, especially when paired with other performance modifications.

2. Improved Airflow: The manifold is typically designed with smoother internal channels and more optimized runner lengths, which improves airflow efficiency. This results in better volumetric efficiency, particularly at higher engine speeds.

3. Suitable for Performance Builds: This manifold is typically intended for modified or tuned K20 engines, where higher power outputs are desired. It’s ideal for builds with performance camshafts, headwork, or forced induction.

4. Direct Fit for EP3/DC5: The manifold is designed as a direct bolt-on upgrade for the EP3 Civic and DC5 Integra with the K20 engine, making installation relatively straightforward.

5. Tuning Potential: With the increased airflow and improved intake characteristics, a tune is usually required to optimize the engine’s performance, fuel delivery, and ignition timing for the best results.


Before installing a K20 Racing Inlet Manifold, you may need to consider other supporting modifications such as a larger throttle body, aftermarket fuel injectors, or a remap for the ECU to fully realize the performance benefits.

The CP-Carrillo is your one stop source for top of the line engine connecting rods. 

Manufacturing a CP-Carrillo engine connecting rods is much more than cutting, forging, meeting production goals and shipping deadlines. 

The design of connecting rods has evolved into a collaboration of skilled specialists. 

Every CP-Carrillo connecting rod is a symphony of precision: material specialist, forging precision, production craftsman, design engineers and engine specialists each contribute know-how and artistry. 

CP-Carrillo engineers continually refine their connecting rod designs to obtain that elusive goal – perfection in performance. 

Each CP-Carrillo rod is manufactured in the USA from oversized proprietary steel forgings to enable proper grain flow and guarantee removal of any surface inclusions.

These rods are consistent and reliable from the first point of precision manufacturing all the way to extreme uses in the racing world.

CP-Carrillo uses a proprietary steel to manufacture its connecting rods, named Carrilloy. 

It is a chrome, nickel, moly, vanadium alloy which meets all VAR (vacuum arc re-melt ASTM standards). 

Carrilloy is simply a modification of an existing SAE specification. CP-Carrillo just tighten up the acceptable attributes of the heat as it is manufactured. 

The heat is validated, both by the supplier and an independent metallurgist whom confirm the desired physical and chemical properties of steel.

The fastener system of a high performance connecting rod is most likely the most critical unit of the assembly. 


As a result it is important that the fastener is installed per instructions and with recommended lube. 


CP-Carrillo has close to fifty years of experience of working with what have become the most recognized fasteners in the connecting rod industry. 


Much of this has come from experience which has been tested and validated repeatedly. Each CP-Carrillo fastener design is based on a known yield load. 


During linear stretch of the bolt this load should never be reached. The recommended stretch value is 80% of yield load calculated in a tension – torque diagram. 


Torque figures are the more commonly used method for tightening fasteners, however this is not CP- Carrillo’s preferred method and being explained why: Torque is affected by numerous variables, all of which can alter the true preload figure you are trying to attain. 


Particularly, the lube utilized, the condition of the threads, the spot face, dimensional integrity, as well as other variables have an effect. 


Nearly all of these elements are alleviated if the assembler uses a stretch method. 


CP-Carrillo found that the consistency of high quality fasteners offers the least deviation when using the stretch method, with the result that the fastener will exhibit proper preload using designated stretch.

Features: 

This body reinforcement brace uses a carbon shaft made by Graphite Design, a leading company in carbon shafts for golf.

It replaces the original bar (front: steel) and adds a bar (front and rear) connecting the left and right sides.

The weave direction is aligned with other HKS carbon products, creating a unified and beautiful look within the engine bay.

By replacing the original parts, the unpleasant stiffness will be eliminated and the carbon shaft will absorb unpleasant vibrations, resulting in a smooth, high-quality ride without any impurities.

Inevitability of expressing “bending” rather than merely increasing strength. High strength and “bending” achieved through joint development with a leading golf shaft manufacturer.

HKS has adopted a high quality carbon shaft, which is used for golf clubs, as a solution to improve both driving performance and ride comfort.

The carbon brace series was realized with the tuning know-how that HKS has cultivated over the years and with the cooperation of GRAPHITE DESIGN, a prestigious golf shaft manufacturer that is used by famous professional golfers.

The unique carbon flexing characteristics, which cannot be achieved with other materials, are freely controlled by the know-how of GRAPHITE DESIGN, a company with rich experience in golf shafts, and the result is a performance that is a cut above conventional brace bars.

The effect of the bending not only improves the quality of the car, but also contributes to the stability of the car's behavior on the circuit, making driving even more enjoyable.
