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.

    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
    • Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
