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 always wondered how you were supposed to buy a set of 24 buckets and somehow magically have every single one of them yield exactly the desired clearance. I would have thought you'd need to assemble a cam with either 12 "sample" or "example" buckets of known top thickness (or a single such sample/example 12 times over!!) measure clearances at every valve, and then do the usual math to work out what the actual "shimness" of each bucket needed to be, before buying the required buckets to make up he thicknesses that you didn't have on hand.
    • I now seem to be limited in power due to my rev limit/hydraulic lifters in my built RB25. I'm looking into converting over to Tomei solid lifters. Question for anyone that has done the conversion. I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  I don't know where I got this idea, as so far I see no mention of this in any of the Tomei documentation. It just states I need the Tomei solid buckets, solid lifter cams and upgraded springs. As my head is already built, all I would need is another set of 1000$ Kelford cams, 500$ buckets and about 4H hours of my time installing and I'm off to the races!?!? There's no way it's that simple, I must be missing something? 
    • I couldn't agree more. I should have started from the get-go with a NEO or solid bucket conversion. I started looking into converting over to solid lifters yesterday. Now for some reason I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  But I see no mention of this on any of the Tomei documentation.

    • BRUH, one of the biggest mistakes of my life..... and i've had plenty ;[)
    • @Murray_Calavera iam just considering options 🙂 of course it is very expensive so that why i ask here 🙂  @joshuaho96 I looked at that GCG hybrid(i remember looking at it few weeks before) So this is "that" hybrid where i send them my turbo and they upgrade the inside to Garrett stuff and then they send it back. It cost around 1200-1300 USD which is FAR cheaper than the HKS and it is what iam looking for(i just do not have experience like this...to send something off to "upgrade" ) @tylink720 that is like 150 USD turbo no? 😄 I dont think i have the "ease on my mind" with this kind of turbo. I just put over 7000k USD to "LINK" up my engine...dont want to blow it up with cheap turbo 😄     EDIT: https://www.cj-motor.com/gcg-turbo-charger-for-nissan-rb20det-rb25det-high?srsltid=AfmBOooVeOZ6CZ6r1AIv5m-KPaa6BvudIPJTY8LW78khkd-gQlsaCht9 I looked at this and it seems ok? It is that CGC hybrid and it costs around 1250 USD (with back shipping). Do any of you have experience with this hybrid on NEO turbo? I quickly look thru the forum/web and it seems very good.
