Do not use the q45 90mm throttle body. It's not made for supercharged applications and the seals around the throttly axle will leak boost pressure. I've bought 3 tb's and tried before I gave up. They all leak after 0.6bars og pressure :thumbsup:

That seems strange, as even the genuine greddy manifolds are drilled to suit them, there are 80, 90 and 100 mm anodised throttle bodies on ebay for under $300 new

My local rod shop supplied me with a machined billet number that sure looks the goods. A tad over 300 dollars from memory. and its 80 mil. It doesnt bolt directly to the greddy plenum but it wont be difficult to make it fit. :bunny:

I looked for ages for a q45 and gave up trying to find one. When you do they sell for around the 250 dollar mark anyway so I figure for the bit extra its worth it to have the new one. :thumbsup:

i think that the standard trottle body will be a restriction to make the 350rwkw in my rb so im just doin everything slowly and getting everything over a period of time all those billet ones on ebay are in chine and i can get better quality from here and its aussie made "support aussies as much as possiable" lol

pretty funny while driving a jap car haha

I used an 80mm throttle off a q45 v8, it bolted on and was half the price of a shiny billet one
i cant seem to find a q45

I've got one for sale on the Gold Coast in QLD, happy to post if you are interested shoot me off a PM.

I agree that does seem strange, ive used one on my car for over a year (490hp @ 1.2bar) with no issues or leak what so ever.

hypertune ftw!!!!!

I just had a bad experience with a HYPERTUNE plenum for a EVO (real animal with well over 300awkw), awesome plenum but overpriced and required ALOT of work to fit.... and the HYPERTUNE throttle bodys are flat out junk.

    • I mean, I can confirm the TPS is at 100%.... I can confirm when we installed the TB and setup the cable that the TB was indeed fully open at max pedal travel.. the same 'curve' (WRT MAP vs MAP) existed with the previous setup/TB/manifold as well... No, we did not do a run with no intake connected. I would love to go back in time to do such a run to rule out the intake. It would have also been good to do a run with the airbox lid off. There's a test there where increased IAT vs more available air could be a positive tradeoff. I remember taking the lid off my R34 Turbo setup back in the day and noticing a monster increase, even if IAT's did go up. Could be similar. Hard to test unless I find a very deserted road. 
    • That's actually encouraging to be honest. my motor was rebuild many years ago but it's probably done less than 30,000kms and fucc all limiter or drift, majority street / drag / roll racing. It'll be fine 💪🏼 I don't even have lines or a can for the cam breathers installed yet, there is zero oil residue or splatter on or around them, it drives beautifully so it seems healthy. Just a ticky lifter, yet they're almost brand new oem genuine Nissan and haven't done many kms at all...
    • Have you confirmed the throttle body goes to WOT (and stays there) during the run?
    • I'm having a problem. I think it was mentioned above somewhere but can't see it.  I'm stuck in the cycle of, sand, filler, low spot again, put filler, sand, low spot again, now i put filler again and a thicker portion which seems to have helped but I got low spots in other areas. In the image. Circled in red thats where the original low spot was and the shape is the same as the red out line. I've more or less fixed that (still low spot up the top but now I have low spots where the green circled part is.  Is likely the issue that I didn't start with a course sand paper? I sanded the filler with 240 to reduce the risk of not going to far but maybe the issue is that I'm only taking off enough material to remove some of the filler but not the high spots. I now started sanding with 120 and I think I'm seeing a difference. I did fix one dent the other 2 are f**ked and seems like I made another low spot which is indicated by the furthest green circle on the left handside. Any thoughts and solutions?   Also second image. All of these rock chips, can they be filled in with primer or do i need to fill them all with filler/putty? So many rock chips on mine lol.
    • Well, I had an Edward Lee's special edition odo windback car/motor with a RB25DET S2 and I put down 372kW with a good amount of track abuse for 1.5 years before the ring lands decided it didn't want to stick around anymore 🥲 But probably didn't help I kept on smashing try limiter on the track and a few skid pans.
