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.

    • It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
    • The maxpeedingrods turbo is cheap and bolts on to stock parts. I think you just need a bigger silicone coupler for the intake. Its a cheap china turbo, but it's been running on mine for almost 3 years at 16-19 psi.
    • What do they look like right after you've tried to start it with everything connected? Also post photos of what they actually look like.
    • Also wanted to say, my new spark plugs are blackened looks like it's very rich. I have splitfire coilpacks but stock coilpack loom and ignitor. I tried directly grounding the ignitor ground to body as well.
