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

      How do you go about diagnosing ecu's that don't have data logging, is it more experience at that point and just trying out things that you think will fix the issue?

      Stock O2 are basically useless beyond anything at stoich. Any misfire will also be seen as lean. The stock O2 also read a collective exhaust gas volume, not each cylinder. Sputtering and missing means not each cycle is firing, and some are. Which means even if rich, as shit, on cylinders as they miss, they'll read lean, but the cylinders that did fire will read rich, and combined, well, they can read anything from rich to lean.   Start with the basics before even going looking at sensor values.   Edit: I say the above, and that's coming from the guy with a few thousand dollars worth of scan tools sitting right beside me right now that I use frequently for my job.

      I just finished up a manual swap and I have a 1999 S2 AWD automatic in my garage, depending on where you are located. I'm in the the midwest of the US.

      R33 GTR N1 REO on an r32 ?

      I’ve heard it can be done, you need to redrill the holes where they bolt to the chassis and apart from that they are the same. I’ve never done it or know anyone personally that has, it’s just something I’ve heard

      If it's reading full rich prior to a misfire that gives one directional hint, if it's already reading lean, etc. If it's reading pretty cleanly stoichiometric then suddenly drops out from a misfire that suggests it's not air mass estimation that's the problem. Could be ignition, could be something more subtle. Could be the CAS has decided to start dropping out at random or the drive pin is worn leading to excessive lash and trigger errors. LTFT can tell you the same but it's slower to react and if this is a recent issue it might not have stabilized. STFT stuck in one direction vs fluctuating back and forth can be used instead but I like to read O2 voltages anyways and interpret directly. If the O2 voltages make no sense in general or are super slow to react it could also be a failing O2 sensor. There's no real error correction for failing O2 sensors in these cars.
