Throttle Body sizes

got an 00vi on my 4th gen with a 4th gen TB and looking into 5th gen TB's and perhaps pathfinder ones and i'd like to know the size. stock 4th gen is like 62mm

I would like to make a 3" (MAF inlcuded) intake setup with a flowstack on the filter and i don't want to have it "choked" at the TB... right now i have a stock maf and a 3"-2.5" coupler attaching the intake tube to the TB, i want it 3" going into the 00vi.

The Pathfinder TB is what you're looking for.

But with the PF TB you will need a bigger MAF to make it worthwhile....and then you want bigger injectors....and then....and then....

What is your logic on this?

Especially the larger injectors.

Why put a bigger TB on a stock engine? To take advantage of it fully you SHOULD get the Z32 MAF and then bigger injectors would take advantage of the increased air flow. Just a joke meaning its a slippery slope lol

So you installed a PF TB and didn't think it was worthwhile?
By your logic, he should mod everything or nothing because only modding one or two things won't make a difference.

Modding in itself is a slippery slope. No love for the Q45 MAF?
