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

      Who has a Infiniti Q60, Q50 (V37)?

      Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

      The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week

      Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.

      What ECU are you running? This is probably the biggest question. If it's a PowerFC, I'd probably change the ECU and get something newer that will handle the injectors in a nicer way.
