I'm currently having one built for my car. Hogan's Racing Manifolds out of California will do custom designs. It isn't cheap (almost $2500), but I need my throttle body coming off of the other side and our plenum could definetly use some improvement.

intake
a tuner by me called IMP made one awhile ago. they sold a lot to ALAMO and they stopped making them because it was hard. but joe, the owner of imp, said he was gonna be making more and he would let me know when that went down. basically the design is the same as stock, but the runners are larger diameter and its polished. looks really cool and i think joe said when he dynoed it he gained 26hp.
if you send your throttle body out to RC engineering (or possibly any good machinst im guessing), they will bore your throttle body out by 4mm <-- i think thats the correct number

PS - RO: you never got me the prices on those turbos you promised! email me at [email protected] or talk to me on AIM (PARISICC)

...TB
infinity Q45 has a 75mm TB and bolts up to our plenum
our TB is 60mm (+4mm would not even come close to the Q45!)
if you know someone who can weld aluminum making a custom plenum would not be that difficult. Making an intake manifold would be pretty hard though because f the crossover design and limited space. Either way, the port size at the head is not going to get much bigger than the runners are on the stock manifold / plenum anyway!

I think they were talking about the heads.de_vr4 said:i thought i heard somewhere that someone flow-bench tested our top sides, and they happen to flow a rather large amount of air... more than the supra's?
i don't think i made that up... but ya never know its been a long day-

As long as it is in the same bolt pattern setup and has the same connections as our stock throttle bodies do then this is just a bolt on affair. It only requires 4 bolts and reapplying all connections and you are done on a stang can't imagine it to be much harder on our cars. How big is our inlet on the intake plenum on our cars though? If it is also 60mm then a 75mm throttle body is a waste of our cash. If it is however 70mm or whatever then I will do what I can to find me a throttle body from a Q45 (what years btw) and strap it on and see what happens. It should be a nice chunk of hp added on with just that!

I'm assuming that if it does work for the TTs, that it would work for the NAs as well right?? (since the throttle bodies are similar, if not the same exact thing)
In that case.....PLEASE!!! Anyone with more info??? (If you cannot tell, I have an NA hehe) This seems like it would be an interesting mod that would be pretty cheap.

It is the same size as a stock TB. I enlarged the opening on my plenum after RC Engineering enlarged my TB. There is plenty of metal and could easily be enlarged to fit 75mm.Internexus said:

Not used
What years are you talking about? I checked used prices on TB's for Q45's and depending on the year they're from $75 to $175. Probably not too much more than buying a 3S one and having it bored. So, do we know what year(s) will fit? I'd be glad to try this out if I know for sure it will fit and see if I have any performance gains. I'm guessing the plenum opening needs to be enlarged to make any difference. What tools are commonly used for this?
