Q45 throttle body and maf? yay or nay

[black240jl]

heres the deal the intake mani im buying has the plate for a q45 tb, greddy makes a plate kit for 85 that switches to the factory rb20 tb pattern.. or i could jsut buy a q45 tb for that much, i have heard that they leak, any way to keep them from not leaking/, also would that tb and maf bea good combo?, let me know thanks i wanted a z32 but i could save 200-250 bucks using the q45 stuff, let me know thanks

yay throttle lag on an already laggy engine.i run a stock sized throttle body on my rb20, skip the q maf as it will max out around 400whp where the z32 still has headroom

[black240jl]

so keep stock tb?, with a z32 maf?

[SullivanRacing06]

keep the stock size t/b and yes keep the z32 maf, thats good up to 500-550 whp, q maf blows, although larger in diameter 3.5 in maxes out faster

if you're using a huge turbo and expecting 600whp and running 3"+ intercooler piping ---then use the q45 TB.... stick with the z32 maf and stock TB. trust me, you wont max it out any time soon.

if i was to get the z32 maf which i am going to do, does the rb20 maf airfilter adapter bolt onto the z32 maf?, or do i have to get an intake for the z32 ?

I used the same adapter for my RB25det and my z32 maf sensors. I did have to whittle out the holes a bit to fit them. God knows.. my memory sucks.
