Hey guys, was just reading this thread

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Gr...l=throttle+body

And after ringing about a million wreckers in brissy for a Q45 throttle body and having no luck i thought i would see what other people have bolted on their greddy style plenums, was thinking of getting the adaptor kit but would pref to put a larger T/B on

I think the old XF throttle bodies were also being readily used not so long ago.

Hey thanks for the help guys,

dunno if i wanna spend that much on a T/B, but if i got no choice then oh well

i sent a pm to Kudos just waiting to hear back

and need to find a wrecker in Brissy that actualy has an XF T/B b4 i can try this option, just one question with that, it says to use an RB30 TPS, i saw one yesterday at a wreckers and it had what looked like the grey plug which is on mine, but there was a black plug on there also, does anyone know what thats for? Does it have to be hooked up??

The second plug is usually for the auto.

How much power are you targetting? I haven't found the standard throttle body to be a restriction at 320 rwkw.

My engine in it's previous car was making ~365rwkw through the standard throttle body.

Benefits of a bigger throttle body?

Would it be less restriction? thus allowing you to make the same power with less boost?

I'm finding it really hard to justify a new throttle body...

Cheers Sydneykid, i'm looking at high 200's but if it gets 300rwkw then even better

At 315 rwkw I measured the boost before and after the standard throttle body and there was zero difference. So the standard throttle body wasn't a restriction at that power level. There are better, more effective, ways to spend your money for that power target.

Cheers

at what point would you think of changing the throttle body Gary?

im going for around 360rwkws on a 30/25 with 3540r

Cheers

I don't know what the limit is, all I know is it's OK at 320 rwkw. The best way to find out is to measure it, that's what I did after a lot of people said 265 rwkw was the limit of the standard throttle body. My best suggestion is to get your 360 rwkw and then measure the boost before and after the throttle body, it's pretty simple. Only takes a couple of minutes to check, then you will know for sure.

Cheers

Gary

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      By Haggerty · Posted

      I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.

      I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.

      Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...

      Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
