That doesnt look anything like mine

Is that the EGR on the bottom? What year did it come off of? BTW, you need to clean that before you install it

 

the yard i got it from told me it came from an 01 pathy. and the tag says 01 pathy TB on it. i saw other pics of a pathy tb and this is not the same. i just wanna make sure its def not the right one before i call them and tell them its not the right 01.

 

 

I believe thats the nissan quest throttle body.

 

if it doesnt look the same at all, then its not the same. call em tell em its the wrong TB and send it back for the correct one.

 

it appears to be from a VG motor

 

called the place i got it from (chuck and eddies in ct) and they were like no biggie. i sent em pics of what its supposed to look like and they had the right one arrive here today and ups picked the old one up. couldnt beat it! great customer service!
1-800 423 8353 ask for tim. tell em you dealt with nick. got mine for 85 shipped!

 

awesome, glad to hear everything worked out.

 

Yeah looks like its from a VG33 pathy. Glad you got everything sorted out!

 

post a pic of the correct one that they sent to you.

 

 

thats the IAC pathfinder stuff attached, and i cant use that correct? i read in the pathy install writeup to make a block off plate for it. but that was when using it on a 3.0. does the same apply for a 3.5 swap?

 

correct, you cannot use that. i took it off and used jb weld instead of a block off plate. its been on my car for 3 years now and no issues

 

heres some after pics of the right TB shown before in post #13. i completely cleaned the entire TB inside and out and hit it with a wire wheel. she came out great!!

 

looks real clean... you can sleak it down even more, and i think youll see why some people make plates. you just filled in the hoe connection. i took that whole peice off, where the 4 screws connect it on. then i filled it w/ jb. its still easy and the TB will be a lot smaller/lighter/cleaner looking. try it out

 

ya Looks clean man, now the only thing left to do is EVERYTHING haha. Keep us posted on the install i am looking to do the same mod.
