so i am looking at a forward facing plenum for my r32, have an stroked rb20 and next on the list of upgrades now that i have finished the engine is a plenum, basically the power side of things has already been sorted out and mopre than anything doing it to get rid of the cross over pipes and tidy up the engine bay, basically what i want to know is bigger throttle body size i.e 90mm better then say a 75mm, there are options ranging from the 75mm through to 90mm for me to choose from, anyone with experience using this throttle body size or info to help me would be much appreciated

regards

Plus the other issue is the larger you go, the less responsive/controllable the throttle is with low RPM and so on given you use 10% with a smaller one it's opening a lot more than 10% with a large butterfly :/

A few people here have actually changed back from larger TB's to factory ones and noticed this down in their posts.

I think Al was one such user.

yeh thanks for the extra info def good food for thought, so maybe just buy the plenum and use the factory tb?

I actually found a larger t/b made the car "feel" more responsive on my sr20 with the 77mm Hypertune t/b over stock.

But yes because it is more responsive it can be trickier in car parks etc where you use low throttle apps. All in all I liked it.

      That M3 looks like it handles so well, initial slight understeer on turn in followed by oversteer which is cancelled out as steering returns to centre. Looks like such a fun car to drive. In comparison the Skyline and Sierra look like they understeer more and thus need more heavier steering inputs...?

      Common for single gauges to be swapped around. My 33 GTST when I bought it had a GTR tacho fitted, everything else was GTST gauges.

      Google says for a 1998 Nissan Maxima to pull/pry, and the metal pin might even come out with it. I'd do a bit more googling, there was a few videos, find some where the shafts/needles appear most similar and compare the techniques.

      FS - RB30 Turbo upgrade bolton turbo kit - 600kw

      By Predator1 · Posted

      Details: Turbo Borg Warner EFR 9180 with 1.05 rear housing Upgraded TurboSmart integrated BOV Sanded and powdercoated compressor cover in gloss black Elbow welded with wiggins clamp Speed Sensor(Not included) (Can include oil drain(heat wrapped + titanium intake pipe with almost new filter for a tad extra). Manifold: 6 Boost RB26/30 twin scroll manifold  e-MAP ports drilled into both scrolls(I was using the TAARKS EMAP KIT) Turbo is in excellent condition. Always used Penrite 15w50 Racing oil(Changed less then 2000ks). Also using the Turbosmart OP regulator and filter. Downpipe: 4inch Stainless steel with VBand inlet and outlet clamps(included) Heat wrapped Dual ports for Dyno/Wideband usage Will throw in free 2.5 inch intercooler pipe(2.5inch From turbo outlet to 3.5 inch intercooler) - Powder coated black. Turbo made 563rwkw on mainline hub dyno at around 24-25psi boost - Pump fuel. Will def make over 600kw on e85. Didn't bother as my e-MAP was through the roof with my setup sitting past the choke line. I have a cnc ported and fully built head on my 3.2. Turbine speed saw max of around 109k rpm. I'm running this on my R32 GTR, with AC, and the original power steering pump. The manifold clears the AC lines, ABS, and everything else. Although I had new AC lines because I just wanted new ones and I heat wrapped them as well. This will make more power on a slightly lower capacity motor with a higher PR. And I have since upgraded to a G45-1500. Have pics and videos if need be.  Absolutely nothing wrong with setup. Turbo is in perfect condition. No shaft play or oil leaks at all. All the work was professionally done. The transient response of this is fkn amazing. I cannot rave more about this turbo. If I wasn't chasing 4 figures, I would have kept it. $5000 NZ. Located: Auckland, New Zealand.
