a31rb25 Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 (edited) Has anybody tried fitting an A32/A33 Maxima throttle body (72mm) to a Plazmaman RB25 plenum? I'm interested to know if this works as $500 for a billet 72mm TB is a joke. I know there's other's available from CPC, OBX etc via the net just want to know if this works first as it could be one of those handy money savers.

PM-R33 Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 But the Plazmaman throttle bodies look sexy as! Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/300862-plazmaman-plenum-72mm-tb/#findComment-4997486 Share on other sites More sharing options...
a31rb25 Posted December 21, 2009 Author Share Posted December 21, 2009 But the Plazmaman throttle bodies look sexy as! They'd damn well want to as well for the money. Whilst I agree they look good, they're not worth paying for fashion over function. My car is a basic drifter that doesn't need to look good, just needs to work well.

PM-R33 Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 Haha yeah i know what you mean, hence why i havn't bought one yet, so hard to justify the money for it. Maybe one day.

Roy Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 How big is the std? In the new year with my plenum on i was going to look to mill out a stocker 4-5mm, i think std they may be about 65mm. Was also thinking about trying one of the twin type throttles of the L98/LT1 350 Chev as they are meant to give sharper throttle response, but will have to measure up the flanges.

a31rb25 Posted December 21, 2009 Author Share Posted December 21, 2009 Stock is 60mm. Plazmaman recommended a 72mm TB, saying that an 80mm or 90mm (50%) increase in size would lose some of the responsiveness. This may all be a sales pitch from them to sell a part, but if there's merit in what they say then I don't see the harm in trying to find a cheaper alternative that might cost $200 (incl machining an adapter plate) instead of $500.

PM-R33 Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 Hmm interesting, they recommended me the 80mm one for my setup. Roy, how on earth are you going to make something like that fit?
