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.

      Block bump. $400. As above cyl 6 needs bore or sleeve.

      I would think making the argument that the travel is limited by a spring flexing against a spring perch as "the same method". Later on in the document they do state that the spring can't bind on full bump travel and cannot come loose in full rebound travel as well. (which is all very sensible). The laws are actually pretty sensible and reasonable. It's just that the people who enforce and check them don't actually read them or know them accurately. "Oh, coilovers? Instant fail mate. Don't even need to look at it." - Guy who will be instantly reported by me. There is probably merit to people who do get defected for height also get defected for the suspension in that state that allows it. I did never consider the people who are complaining about coilovers being picked on are also running around at 50mm off the floor.

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      I think given SAU's knowledge of E85 we can strongly conclude that 10% ethanol in almost any situation is entirely fine. Almost all of the myths against E85 were overblown, let alone E10.

      From your link See bold text, is this referring to damper settings, if so that may a issue for "some" inspectors, I cannot see aftermarket coilovers having the evidence that "must be available that its functional performance is equivalent to the original" Maybe just remove the adjustment knows and hope for the best???? Meh 5.2 Suspension travel In all instances, modifications to a vehicle’s suspension must ensure the integrity of the system and not compromise the ride quality. At least two thirds of the original suspension travel should be maintained in both directions (rebound (i.e. extension) and bump (i.e. compression)), and rebound must be limited by the same method used by the vehicle manufacturer or if this is not practicable due to the nature of the modification, an equivalent method. If an alternative method is used, evidence must be available that its functional performance is equivalent to the original.

      They actually don't - They adhere to VSB14 rules just like Victoria. The rules are against CABIN adjustable height, and it quite clearly states that the height has to be within parameters. I asked the VASS engineer to confirm this when I got my car engineered and they refused to engineer the coilovers because they didn't meet the requirements for requiring engineering. (mine are height adjustable.) People "Not wanting to bother" with "Actually reading/knowing/adhering to the rules" should result in fines and immediately losing the ability to issue blue slips and/or RWC's in Vic.
