I came across a RBC inlet manifold (modified to fit the DC5) and throttle body (TB) combo that was on special offer over the Christmas period. The RBC is the inlet manifold from the Euro Accord Type R that has longer runners and features higher air flow capabilities. The proven benefits include:
- Better throttle response
- Better mid range and top end power
The RBC was port matched to a true 70mm TB which would allow a greater mass of air into the engine from the airbox. Note, the OEM TB is 62mm.
I snapped one of these combo's up and also a Hondata gasket. The Hondata gasket is a replacement intake manifold gasket made from special high temperature plastic, designed to insulate the intake manifold from the cylinder head. This reduces the transfer of heat from the head to the intake and incoming air giving you more power.
