As for the TB, I think you can also use one from a Vh45. It's something crazy like 90mm. As for the RB20 wiring, I don't know. It's not commonly done here. If it's a 4 wire plug, I'll bet it's the same though...

I can confirm its the same wiring method as the Z32 MAF.

I'm still using the stock throttle body on my fiance's car and it flows extremely well.

well i have 3" piping on my cold side and i think that the step down to the stock CA TB is restricting a little as it them opens up to about 3.5" in the plenum, so i think a 3" TB so a 75-80mm would be ideal like this one:

I got a KA24E TB for like $20. Shipping wouldn't be that much would it?
