i was about to buy a pathy TB because im tired of messing with this whole converted setup then i remembered there is the Q45 throttle body and those are all over the place and go for pennies comparatively, there are atleast 6 of them available at the JY right now. Are there any issue with the Q45 vs the normal VQ35 TB, any modification necessary to get it to work(TPS, physical clearances, etc)?

 

90mm vs. 70mm

 

i have a q45 tb on my car, got it cuz i was tired of the converted **** also, best mod u could eva have especially if u gonna have sum sort of forced induction. the tps is a simple wire in, make sure u get the tb from the first gen q45

 

ok so aside from bolting the Q45 TB up it should be fine, now while we are on the subject i also just took a look at Q45 MAFs aswell, apparently in the 240 world the are teh easiest things to wire up and use since they dont have all kinds of funny wiring like the Z32s, and if im not wrong the 4th gens use the same MAF wiring. Because the $120 im getting ready to drop on the pathy i can buy a Q45s throttle body AND MAF.

has anybody tried that or had issues with it?

 

Another TB has been brought to my attention, the 4.6L mustangs TB it looks very close to a 4th gen TB and there is a 75mm version, that is 5mm bigger than the VQ35 TB i heard one person has tried it.

 

What year 'stang... I may randomly have one laying around (former 'Stang owner, ahh those days...)

 

I believe its the 97-04 or something like that, it has to be a 4.6L thats what i know.

 

You would just have to see about the TPS

 

yea its teh TPS that worries me, it looks like its similar in teh pics, i might just buy one because they are honestly cheap as ***** and we dont have much research it seems on this TB issue.

 

someone has done the mustang tb already

And here is a thread from my350z where a 90mm ls2 tb was used

the mustang one looks most appealing to me....the scary part is the shorter pedal travel.

 

I would get the car at least running first...then decide on what you want to do

 

yea im buying the TB to get the car running. this coverted E-thorttle mess is not working for me.

 

dats exactly how i felt man,get the q45 throttle, u wont regret it

 

the Q45 is really large thou, do u have pics of ur setup?

 

im gonna get to the yard and scoop up at q45 tb. for the MAF im gonna take a 300zx MAF, cut it, and put it in a piece of PVC like most of the guys have been doing. hope it worksss lol

 

OH. Thanks I didn't catch the sarcasm.
Seriously, they sell for 90 plus shipping on ebay, so I thought I was offering a deal.
Mike - no problem I'll check for you

WTF MAN Please someone ban this thing.

 

Wont the Q TB require some dremeling of the inlet of the elbow?

 

yea it would its a 90mm tb the opening to the intake manifold is only 70mm. that TB is pretty massive.
