Another Greddy Plenum Question

Am going to throw a greddy plenum (33 gtst version) onto my 34 gtt, and have been looking around for the 90mm q45 throttle body to throw on it. However my tuner has got a 90mm Ls1 throttle body lying around and he says we should be able to use that.

Has anyone used this throttle body before??

Other question, is there really that much benefit to be had in having the 90mm throttle body compared to just using the 70mm r33 tb with adaptor. Would like to know in case the whole 90mm Ls1 thing doesn't work out.

Cheers

I guess without a side by side flow or dyno comparo its not possible to tell. fwiw I mounted the same 90 mil throttle body to a greddy you are looking at with no probs other than the throttle cable is a bit of a bitch to set up but certainly doable.

For the $200-250 i would just buy a Q45 throttle body, as the tps and bolt pattern will work without drama. Do you really want to redrill a $1000 manifold to try and save $200?

that's why i was asking, if someone has done it before and had troubles it would've been nice to know. The plan for now anyways is to get the plenum and see how it looks against the Ls1, if there is too much mucking around i'll just buy the q45, as you said, no point buying a 1000 dollar plenum and putting a bunch of holes through it. Will update this thread when it gets here.

      [HOW-TO] Winter Steam-Clean & Odour Removal in 30 min

      Each to their own I guess  Me, I put just as much time into cleaning inside of the cars as I do on the outside As for getting wet, it is really no different than steam cleaning the carpets at home, apart from the cars carpet dries alot faster than the house, again, I only do it in the hotter months and leave the car opened up for a few hours As I only do it yearly, it is just before I do the diff and gearbox service, so I clean the carpets, then it's up on stands, wheels off, service, clean the undercarriage,  grease the bushings and do a nut and bolt check on everything  Disclaimer: I typically had all the time in the world to kill when I was working 馃ぃ, so spending a full day or 2 cleaning, serving and "looking at stuff" was,  easily achievable, and a fun mental therapy day As for time to kill, I retired last Wednesday, so apart from my physical training, my days are filled with lots of random jobs around the house and garden...."Idle hands are the Devils something something" I am also buying a new house sooner rather than later, I'm actually looking at a potential property tomorrow, I'm looking forward to getting a car hoist as I'm starting to get to old to crawl around under a car, I can only imagine all the undercarriage cleaning and looking at stuff when that gets set up

      Yeah, I'm not interested in wetting the carpets, and I don't care about brown dirt/dust that lives deep in the pile or underneath. It's not like I crawl around on them in my birthday suit or eat dropped food off them (because there is never any open food in my car). The seats are alcantara (cheap Chinese imitation alcantara, to be sure!) with barely 1" of foam pad behind the surface. That's not getting wet either. Any car that I would be happy to get the interior wet, I would not care to put the effort into.
