Bosch 82mm DBW Throttle Body - School me

Purchased a Bosch 82mm throttle and 350Z pedal amongst other things to go drive by wire. I know they sell a range of different adaptors for the throttle body (Plazmaman, Tarks, etc.) but originally how was this throttle body mated up to a pipe? How was that little 1/2" flange meant to be used? Is the chamfer for an O-ring? 

Couldn't find any information online and was very curious...

Looks like the back of it is just flat, so you'd have a gasket and then some bolts that hold it to the intake. If it's anything like the other DBW setups I've seen it's just a hose and hose clamp that goes over the front of the throttle body and the lip is there to keep the hose from slipping.

I meant the other end of it. Where a pipe would mate up to it and not the intake manifold.

I doubt it. The chamfer and the lip thickness would not allow a pipe to be clamped on, not without slipping off anyways.

It's really strange to me that their drawing here shows what I would expect, which is a lip to keep an intake pipe from slipping off and a flat section for sealing properly. This is 0280.750.101. Digging deeper into it apparently this is not what is being sold widely, rather it's whatever is being used by Porsche and other vendors. Looking at the EPC number 3 in this diagram is the pipe that connects up to the front of the throttle body:

Edit:

If you look at this guide showing how they clean the throttle body it's clear to me that the pipe has a lip in it and then a hose clamp that applies pressure to keep it from pulling off: https://www.planet-9.com/threads/how-to-throttle-body-cleaning-and-gdi-intake-cleaning.248159/

In naturally aspirated form they’d be fine with a hose clamp, in a turbo application you’re better off with one of the adaptors you mentioned 

this!

I use a TAARKS adaptor on mine, seems to like 2bar of boost.

Thanks guys! Very informative.  I never thought of N/A cars... only had boosted applications in mind. I'll definitely be purchasing an adapter. 

The design seen in the OEM part would definitely not pop off even under boost. Pretty substantial lip with a hose clamp to apply pressure to keep it from moving. The trouble is finding an aftermarket pipe that would replicate that design feature.

Without getting the genuine hose there is no way. 
I tried different silicone hoses & clamps. The lip isn't that big, barely there. other option is make a bracket that bolts to the intercooler pipe & pick up one of the TB bolts

      I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car.

      It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.

      If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
