an xf falcon throttle body is a common mod. its a 65 or a 68mm. not really sure what you have to do to make it fit. but i would be interested as thats somthing im considering doing on my rb30... unless i got hex throttle :P

i heard that if you put somthing like that 90mm one you would lose heaps of low down torque. i know it can fit but its best for turbo cars

not the afm, the throttle

they are diff

the throttle is against the intake plenum, the afm is near the airbox

upgrading both to a bigger internal diameter item will allow a greater flow of air with less restriction and so equal more power

so for a n/a r33 you could try the xf throttle (as the q45 is too large for non turbo plus modyfiying the intake plenum would be a down right pain in the ass - as u have to port the throttle intake on the plenum) and maybe a z32 afm

this should help a bit - maybe a 2-3% gain in power - with most power gained in the lower rev range

to put a larger throttle on, u have to port the throttle intake on the throttle and some other stuff

G, that helped heaps, looks like a worth while mod for me to do whilst i have no licence, might be a little bit different for my rb25 but thankz for the hint of using the xf throttle body, ill post up a tutorial on how i go when i've got mine all done prob wont be for a few months thou,

No idea about the RB25, but for those considering doing the mod to an RB30, the KA24 tb fits onto the RB30 with a lot less screwing around than the XF one.

I've got one waiting to go on....

plenum is nicely port matched, but i doubt it will make any difference to power at all.

The guts of it.....

It's around 54mm

I really don't expect to see any noticable power difference.

Proof is in the pudding though...

It probably won't be going on the car any time soon, I want to get the rest of the engine bay sorted out and cleaned up before the shiny bits go on.

If it makes any difference to power, I'll report back.

    • Old Son, did you re-use the Holden ABS in the new shell or try a different module?
    • Yeah, nah. I had the actuator rod off it today. The arm will not move at all. Neither out, nor in. Yeah, you'd think so, but I've been thinking about that. Even when the actuator rod fell all the way off at the beginning of this saga, it would build more boost and faster in lower gears than it would in higher gears, and you'd think that that was the opposite of what should happen. But I strongly suspect that there is a thing with the gearing getting the revs to rise faster, that there must be some transient effect with the gas flow rate rising quickly, that you don't get with the more steady state case of the higher gears. Keep in mind - the gate is not shut in either of my weirdnesses. So things are not "normal". We normally think about a turbo spooling up (below the wastegate target) with the gate shut. I have all sorts of mental models running now where the gate is a little bit open, and having it stuck open allowing gas out while it should be going through the turbine has all sorts of weird effects (in these mental models). I'm thinking in the higher gears, the ex mani pressure builds to the point where enough gases spill out the wastegate to just prevent the pressure rising much more at all, or just creeping up, all the whole the revs are increasing and getting closer to the point where a gear shift becomes necessary.
    • Is it possibly wastegate actuator itself is sticking, or even the rod to flapper? Otherwise I reckon things are getting a bit rusty/worn   Also odd it won't boost in 3rd to 5th, but will in 1st, I'd expect the other way around with it slightly open as there's more time on your way to redline for it to spin up
    • Does anyone know ow what these two plugs are for and if they should be unplugged? Just put the dash back together and can't remember if these were plugged in before or unplugged! (Blue and white plugs) 🤦🏽‍♂️
    • Did some FASTing ...got the impression that the actual part# was a moot point ; seems all of these hardlines for coolant are discontinued/NLA... like, I take it you're after the hardline that bolts onto to the manifold...that's NLA according to amayama & nengun .... ...just to clear up some confusion, they typically mounted the AAC valve to the intake manifold somewhere near a coolant passage, so the body of the valve heats up & holds it open when engine's up to temp - no coolant flows through the valve, it's a mechanical, thermal connection.
