I bought one of those Greddy rip off manifolds off Ebay for my RB25 and just found out the standard throttle body doesnt fit.

2 of the holes line up but the other 2 are about 10-15mm off.

Can anyone tell me what throttle body will fit?

q45 throttle body will fit. Probably set you back about 250-300.

I have a *genuine* greddy throttle body adaptor here. Will bolt straight up to the plenum so you can bolt std throttle body onto it. It's genuine, brand new. Came with the genuine inlet plenum i bought. 90$ if you want, pm me. *** Dont pm me, i think this just sold haha... took about 2 minutes :happy:***

Take it to a shop to fit. Buy genuine.

Knock offs are fine if your strapped for cash - But you'll find if you buy genuine all the time - it works out about the same as buying knock offs and fixing things they break. Sure, some knock off stuff works out cheaper - some much more expensive. Why not by genuine and have the cool factor as well as the reliability (most of the time :happy:)

whats the better option the greddy plenum or the ebays ones cost wise as well. also how hard are they to fit can you do itself or best to take it to a shop.

Im halfway through installing my ebay plenum now, although engine is out of the car, and its not that hard. Just unbolt the old one, swap everything over to the new one, although you will need brass fittings to screw into the plenum to attach hoses to, then bolt it back onto the motor (and throttle body needs an adaptor plate). You also need to play around with a few hoses and need a longer throttle cable.

The main reason im changing plenums is im putting an RB25 into a datsun and want the cooler piping shorter and to look better. Im not really worried about the performance side of it

yep thanks for that im the same for the looks, shorter pipeing and makes it easer to get to the spark plugs.

Do you have pics of the build. what do you mean adaptor plate for the throttle body. also what brass fittings do you need.

cheers

Well as i said in my first post, the throttle body (TB) doesnt fit the greddy manifold, 2 of the 4 holes dont line up so you need to make/buy an adaptor plate or bigger TB.

The brass fittings needed are to screw into the greddy manifold so u can attach your vacuum hoses for BOV, charcoal cannister, brake booster etc etc.

Heres a few pics of the car, it also has airbag suspension and 19's

yep thanks for that, your car looks nice. also what about the TB cable to open the plate. how is that done.

Well i havent got to that part yet, but apparantly you need a longer throttle cable, not sure what car to get it off though or if u need to get one custom made.

Ill let you know when i work it out though

      spot the stagea

      By AnimalGarage · Posted

      It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack.

      Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.

      In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).

      ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.

      OK, if it idles at 1000+ with the AAC, its not an idle airflow problem. The cold start valve just gives extra air when the engine is cold, but you have enough air without it to idle at 1000. I think you are back to a fuel problem, sorry. Can you see the fuel pressure staying constant or does it drop as the revs drop to a stall?
