Skunk2 Release The Ultimate K-Series Performance Throttle Body

Skunk2 has been releasing high-performance parts for sport-compact vehicles for more than 20 years. Their products are designed using the latest computer simulation and modeling techniques, and on top of that, they are carefully tested in a controlled laboratory environment using state-of-the-art equipment. Their latest releases have been through the same process, so you can expect nothing but a top-notch quality performance throttle body. This is good news for car enthusiasts who are in the market for a new throttle body, as Skunk2 has recently released the ultimate K-Series performance throttle body that is a must-have for those who crave more power from their engines. Made to perfectly fit the 2002 – 2006 Acura RSX (2.0L Type S), and 2002 – 2005 Honda Civic (2.0L Si), the latest release from Skunk2 is designed to be used with Skunk2’s Pro Series Intake Manifolds as well as OEM and other aftermarket intake manifolds for bolt-on horsepower and torque gains.

The exclusive Skunk2 Alpha K Series Throttle Body features a shot-blasted surface finish and it is guaranteed to maximize engine airflow at a competitive price. With the K Series, Skunk2 took into consideration the fact that a larger throttle body is required in order to produce additional power throughout the powerband on modified engines with increased airflow demands, which is why they have released the 70mm, and the 74mm Alpha Series Throttle Body for Honda K Series Engines. When you buy the Skunk2 Alpha K Series Throttle Body, it comes with sealed ball bearings, a precision machined throttle plate, and a honed oversized bore that insures smooth operation on the most aggressive naturally aspirated and forced induction applications.

Features:

Precision Die-Cast Aluminum

Fine Shot-Blasted Surface Finish

Precision Machined Brass Throttle Plate

Compatible w/ OEM Throttle Cable

Needle Bearings with Seals for Smooth Leak Free Operation

New Throttle Body Gasket and Hardware

Dual bolt pattern PRB/PRC and RBC/RRC intake manifold

001 - UNSH!TBOX (KAMM'S EK1)

Since I was a kid, my parents always taught me that honesty is the best policy. With that being said, these photos are from earlier in the year, but the car remains exactly the same, just less shiny (thanks to @madautodetailing). I bought this car at the end of 2021 as a purchase to fill the void during a rather challenging time in my life. It gave me something to focus my time and energy on.

My older brothers and my dad have always been team Toyota. My oldest brother had a couple of Z20 Soarers, his first car was an '80s MR2 with pop-up headlights, and most recently, there’s a Crown Majesta sitting on my dad’s driveway. My middle brother has owned a Z30 Soarer and the coolest car, a Toyota Aerocabin. The Aerocabin is a super rare, two-door Soarer that swaps its rear passenger seats for a hard-top, convertible roof. My dad also had a Celsior. I would sit in the back and press a button in the armrest that would fold the front headrest down and slide the chair forward—it’s safe to say my brothers were not fans of this. You can imagine the response when I said I wanted to get a Honda Civic. I liked the way they looked, and a family friend, Simon (better known online as Joydrive), had a really cool yellow EK, which I hoped to replicate. After many messages to him asking if “this one was good?”, we picked one up for just under $5k, with around 250,000 km on the odometer.

As referenced in Simon’s “Reviewing the Joydrive EK Civic,” I have a bottom-of-the-range, windy-window Honda Civic. It’s the facelift model (made between 1999-2000) and was in pristine condition when we picked it up—something that would change during my ownership. The previous owner had looked after it immaculately, and it was mostly stock, other than an Integra DC5 steering wheel, replica Integra blade wheels, and a Skunk2 shifter knob. It has a D16Y4 engine with an impressive 0-60 time of about thirty seconds, but it ran smoothly and was cheap to run as a daily driver. There were no "beans," a testament to its 88kw/118hp engine*.

I grew up around *Need for Speed ProStreet* and *Initial D*, so I had big plans, and after saving up, I started modifying it. The first thing was EK9 cup holders, as my partner at the time grew tired of holding my drinks between gear changes. I ordered some “angel eye” LED headlights and a rear lip from an online store and found an unpainted front bumper, white front lip, and replica EK9 grille, along with the personalised plates “EK1WA.” It was all starting to come together just as I’d planned—until one drive home from work when I rear-ended a BMW X5.  

I stand by the fact it wasn’t my fault; she was merging in front and stepped on the brakes abruptly. The bonnet bent upwards, and the engine frame was twisted inwards. I went to a wrecker and sourced a new bonnet, front left fender, and a new bumper to match (I had one from before, but it was bogged together, and the wrecker’s one was in better condition). After taking it to a fairly average panel beater, it was presentable again. Thankfully, it was mechanically sound, or I would have cried having it written off. You could say it was restored to factory settings. The old headlights went back on, the front lip wasn’t attached (I still have it—it just needs to be put back on), and it looked almost identical to when I first bought it. This was a hit to my motivation, and for a year, it sat as a daily driver, with the paint fading day by day until I got it detailed. This was the start of what I call the “un-sh!tbox era.” After replacing the previously crinkled number plate (the result of love-tapping a tow ball) and getting it paint corrected and ceramic coated, it looked like I hopped in a time machine and drove it out of the showroom.

I’m in two minds about where we go from here. After seeing builds like @hellokitty_assia’s Hawkeye WRX or @eurmum_kirby’s MX5, part of me still wants to see through the original objective of wrapping it pastel blue and adding the cool headlights, but I’ve grown to learn that less is more. Clean, OEM cars are equally admirable, as I learned from walking around REXNation’s meet last weekend. So for now, I’m 50/50, but I’ve re-found my passion and cannot wait to see where the road takes us (all puns intended). If you want to keep up to date, follow my personal Instagram (https://instagram.com/ek1wa). Again, a huge thank you to MadAutoDetailing, Simon/Joydrive, and a big “eff you” to the lady driving the X5.

A little before and after on the ef’s suspension

[basskick]

Sold my trusty daily for a '94 PKDM Civic EG.

It came with a carbi D13B, which was promptly swapped with a H22A4 out of a Prelude, with Skunk2 cams, mated to a U2L4 5MT box.

Needs to be tuned to unlock its true potential but it's a lot of fun. 2.75" piping straight through to an HKS Hi-Power freeflow exhaust.

Put 15" Volk Racing CE28s on 195/50/15 rubber for a restrained appearance.

In honour of my earlier D15B Charade, I've christened it Red Bullet the second, aka #RB2

Finally got the prelude out after a long winter

  1. Enkei RAIJIN Wheel 18×8.5 5×114.3 +35mm

The RAIJIN is a light weight street wheel designed for the everyday driver but with added MAT technology performance benefits. Named after the Japanese god of thunder, the Raijin is bound to help you bolt through traffic not only with style but with better overall performance.

Having a light weight wheel helps brake more efficiently, helps accelerate quicker and can even help with fuel economy. You’d be surprised how much difference a few pounds makes.

2. Skunk2 Mega Power RR Exhaust Honda Civic Si 2-Door 12-15

A properly designed exhaust system is critical to engine performance. Skunk2’s 76mm MegaPower RR Exhaust system for the 2012-2015 Civic Si coupe was developed with this in mind and is based off of more than 15 years’ worth of racing experience. Dyno-proven for maximum horsepower, MegaPower RR systems are constructed of T-304 stainless steel, are robotically TIG welded, and feature CNC mandrel bends for a precise fit. The MegaPower RR for the 2012-2015 Civic Si in conjunction with the Skunk2 Alpha Header for the 2012-2015 Civic Si has seen hp gains above 30hp.

Designed for heavily modified naturally aspirated engines as well as for turbocharged applications that require more exhaust flow than Skunk2’s 70mm MegaPower R Exhausts provide, MegaPower RR Exhausts allow engines to breathe more efficiently and produce more power thanks to larger diameter piping. MegaPower RR Exhaust systems were designed for maximum flow and power, featuring oversized tubing and mufflers, which result in a significantly louder tone when compared to other MegaPower systems.

Featuring Japanese-spec, Super N1 styling, MegaPower RR Exhaust systems generate more horsepower by optimizing engine airflow and volume through carefully selected, application-specific tubing lengths and diameters and increased wave scavenging effects for more horsepower. CNC mandrel bending allows for a constant tubing diameter throughout the bend, which results in precise fitment as well as improved exhaust gas flow. Each system is fitted with a resonator, includes stainless steel flanges, and is finished off with a straight-through, low-restriction racing muffler for uninterrupted flow. Each fully polished muffler is mated to a 110mm polished tip with its own acid-etched MegaPower badge and serialized nameplate. A Skunk2 removable silencer and all necessary hardware are also included.

Skunk2’s MegaPower Exhaust systems are based off of the same systems we custom build for our road racing and time attack vehicles. MegaPower Exhaust systems offer more performance, better build-quality, and the ultimate sound when compared to comparably priced systems.

Fitment:

Honda Civic (Si, Si) 12-15

Notes:

76mm/ 3 inch, Bolt-on system; no welding or fabrication necessary.

May be compatible with other trim levels, however, will require basic welding and fabrication.

Due to large packaging size, shipping rates are calculated based on dimensional weight.

May require modification to factory equipment to allow proper installation.

How does the KTuner Touchscreen Work?

The KTunerFlash V2 features a 5″ touchscreen display that can show essential sensor data in real-time as a digital dash display. Though it’s meant as a handheld a simple Dual-T bracket can be added to allow mounting on a variety of inexpensive Dual-T mounts. Through a simple to use touch interface you can choose between different layouts, multiple data items, and even color options on layouts that support color changes.

Via full integration with our KTuner Tuning Software you are able to load the factory tune and multiple custom tunes to the KTunerFlash V2 allowing you to switch tunes without the need for a laptop. Easily flash back to factory with the touch of the screen. If you’re making quick changes or on the dyno you can also flash through the KTunerFlash V2 without having to upload the tune first.

5 Programmable LEDs can be set to show any combination of colors (RGB) and even allow for fading between a start and end color based on your settings. Customizable intensity settings for each breakpoint allow you to fade in or out at your desired breakpoints. Warnings allow an LED to flash rapidly to easily grab your attention. This can be used for shiftlights, an overheat warning, overboost warning, and other options.

KTunerFlash V2 features On Board Logging With Programmable On/Off Parameters for recording datalogs without a laptop! We allow up to 1000 datalogs to be recorded with no limit on length, so you’ll never miss a beat. Quickly enable or disable on board logging from the menu and once your parameters are met it will record all essential data for later review.

KTunerFlash V2 has built-in bluetooth integration. With a supporting app, like TunerView for Android ($5), you are also able to add additional gauge integration for real-time data display and more. The TunerView app allows you to use your Android device as a video camera and overlay real-time data from the KTunerFlash V2.
