Bigger TB for a VE?

No luck with the search, maybe using the wrong words. but anyone familiar if any bigger TB are available off other cars that will be considered an upgrade to the VE motor?

We have a very large TB as it is. So finding other stock Nissan's with bigger TB's will be hard. MAYBE you can get one to work off a V8 Infiniti. But nobody has done it yet. I THINK a 4th genner got a Pathfinder TB to bolt up with custom adapter plates.

I just porting my TB as much as i could. For photos, go to my webpage and click on the My Maxima link, followed by the throttle body link.

If you're doing it yourself you just keep the same butterfly valve...and you need to pretty much keep the stock angles on the TB

Now if you go to a machine shop and have them do you up one they'll probably put you in a bigger butterfly valve too
