Some people knifedge them too but I'm not sure why :?: Maybe to smooth the airflow over them :?:

If you increase the diameter of the inlets then it will allow more potential power but will affect lowdown torque as it will slow airspeed.

I assume it creates a little less turbulance than it would hitting the flat edge of the throttle when wide open

And don't forget to smooth the screw off holding it in place :wink: (assuming it's put together iin a similar way to the old SU carb throttle :p )

This is somthing i`d like to do but ive heard u loose all the low end torque :?: just out of intrest what size throttle body does a evo use?

Also if i was to do this what do u do about the tps?

i dont know enough about the theory side to say how it would effect low end torque but i dont have any problems on the evo :)

im using a standard 65mm throttle body on evo but may change to the Q45 90mm version if this is to restrictive


im fitting this today on old engine in car ready for new engine next week and swap it all over

i reccon a set up like that would make loads of difference on a pulsar u could ditch the throttle boddies,plenum,inlet mani and use the q45 and get somthing like that what ashills is using.

when you look into it you will find that what nissan designed is actually pretty much spot on 8)

i'd be sticking with the quads if they weren't getting in the way of another cunning plan :wink:

just think about all the big power cars that still use the quads and ask yourself.....

(a) do i really need to do it
(b) is it worth the bother
(c) is it worth the money

it would be an expensive gimmick just to have for the sake of it, you try finding a plenum like als for the gtir :? and if you go for a one off :shock: it wont be cheap. Have seen a few from oz or n.z. and the us, but wont be getting any of them as i've had yet another cunning plan 8)

I think we are having the same problem ;)

Im looking to make a single throttle body setup at some stage but not just yet.

if we're singing the same tune i found something that might get round it without binning the quads :wink:
