Hey guys/gals

I have just brought a 80mm throttle body, that I want to fit to my R33 GTS25 as part of an on going project. I realise that I will need to get a plate made up to fit it to the intake manifold, but am unsure what else I will need to get done to get it to work, keeping in mind that I am already running a after market ecu (GTS Link) so hopefully I won't have any issues with reprogramming the ecu.

Has any one tried putting a larger throttle body or enlarging the factory T/B on there N/A? and what sort of gains were achieved?

Cheers

Rach

on my rb25de headed rb30e, i put a modified xf falcon t/b ( had it bored out 4mm making it 68 mm at the butterfly) . was an easy fit . just ported manifold a bit to suit the t/b . now i remember had to mess with the t/b switch a bit , give you details if you want . as for performance difference , i dont really know cos i never ran the engine before i had put in on .

lol nice

Well it looks like this hasn't been done too often, I will post up results when the T/B goes on

if you are going to put an 80mm throttle on the car, then it would make sense to make sure ALL the induction piping is, at minimum, 80mm or else i don't see the point

my mate with an NA 300zx put on ported throttle bodies when he got his heads ported. They made a nice difference, but he kept all the induction sizes the same so it made sense

interested to see the result... keep us posted

im putting one on my car atm (actually in the middle of it, only on the net to find safc in/out settings) thats on a 30de, ill let you know how it goes.

it sucks heaps at idle though, so with any luck the air speed wont be too bad, on an n/a 25 i really cant imagine you needing anymore than a std rb25 afm

    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2  
    • Thank you so much for the help
    • Yes it is ATF. I quote @Duncan "it takes a good synthentic auto trans fluid like Castrol Transmax Z" It's not a diff. It's a transfer case. Totally different thing. Yes, fluid will come out the sender hole. No you do not really need to drain it. Just pull the old, quickly poke the new, clean up and top up. But realistically, you should probably take the opportunity to change it anyway.
