Hey all just wondering if a Q45 throttle body will work on a RB25 with a greddy plenum and a stock ecu? (i've already wired up tps etc) Will it effect fuel maps on high load dude to the greater flow of air? or will it last one night of skidding at QR?

any advise would help heaps cheers Davo.

Aftermarket plenum with stock ECU?? WTF?

If the TB makes a difference to the flowrate (ie if its less or more restrictive than what you have now) you might get into different cells in the fuel maps, but being a stock ECU everything will be very conservative so i doubt you'll notice any difference.

Changing injector size or MAF is what doesnt work with stock ECU.

Hehe... Pretty much my reaction as well.

To the OP - Why do you need a Q45?

All you do is soften the accelerator control/response by going a bigger TB. It is 110% NOT required.

I ran near on 400rwkw with the stock TB without a problem as have plenty of people before/after myself.

TB Upgrades for the most part are silly. I actually know of two people who have taken them off and gone back to the factor one for more precise throttle control.

The reason i used a Q45 TB is becasue i dont have enough time to make a adaptor plate and it bolts stright up to a greddy plenum. I'll be chucking in a PFC within 2 weeks but the reason i ask if a stock ecu will work is because i plan on taking my car on track without engine failure. The Q45 is a massive TB and i just thought it would b easyer chucking it on whilst i did my inlet manifold but there isnt really a need for it. but thanks everyone for ya input i'll let u know how it skids when i finish my cooler piping.

    • I would be very confident that they are the same parts (the 2 different SKUs). It seems very clear that you can drop the cam in the 2-way opening, or in the other opening. If you arrange it in the other opening in the same way that you see any other 1-way diff, ie, with the flat of the cam up against the 1° side of the opening, then it would work as a 1-way. It can only spread the ramps when driving forwards - cannot spread the ramps on overrun. It would then appear obvious that if you put the cam into the opening "backwards", that you would get the angled flats of the cam working onto the "points" of the 1° side of the opening, which would give you ramp spread in both loading directions. I do wonder if the forward direction of the 1.5-way config is equivalent to the forward direction of the 2-way, seeing as the cams are flipped and the angled surfaces on those would need to be the same on each side - AND - clearly when installed in either the 2-way or 1-1ay configuration they are not intended to work exactly the same (the ramp angles on the 2-way are 10° different between forward and backward, and the ramp doesn't exist in the 1-way config). 'twere me, I think I would rather actually have a set of rings that offered the 2-way with two different sets of ramp angles, say the 55/45 of the existing design and maybe a 45/37.5 combo for a less aggressive effect), AND another set of rings with a dedicated 1.5-way opening and a dedicated 1-way opening. The 1.5-way opening would actually have the steeper angle on the overdrive side that causes it to be less pushy than the forward drive angle, like you see in many other diffs. But really - if this Nismo thing is thought out properly and all those surfaces work on each other the way that they need to, who am I to argue?

    • Yuh, but that one is NLA. There might be an equivalent, but I haven't looked.
    • If you hadn't bought a stand alone one already, nismo make a bolt on adjustable FPR https://www.efisolutions.com.au/nismo-fuel-pressure-regulator-sr-rb-s13-180sx-r32
    • I know and understand they are principally the same. They both cause lock under decel, but the 1.5 nomenclature implies "half" or less locking force, or it allows for more slip or a speed differential between both wheels. Right now the driving manners with the 2 way is pretty rough on transient to full off throttle in the backroads. In other words letting off the throttle too rough is not forgiving, great for drifting, tougher for controlled grip driving.      Yeah, I have watched that video a couple times, I am more so just looking for the confirmation that both part numbers offer the same ramp architecture and are just different settings from the factory.     38420-RSS15-B5  38420-RSS20-B5
