throttle body adapter for stock throttle body

[danman04x]

So I bought one of those ebay intake manifolds ( i know, i know) and im trying to make it work.. Well the stock throttle body screws dont line up at all with the plate on the intake manifold.. Does anyone know if i can get a plate for the stock throttle body so i can weld it on? Or do i have to buy a new throttle body that comes with a plate? Or can a machine shop fabicate one for me? Thanks...This is on an rb20 btw..

do you have the adapter block that necks it down for stock TB? Because stock TB holes wont line up intake hole

[jacksonbrown]

because I have one if ya need it

the intake manifold came with a block welded on to the manifold but the bolt holes dont line up with the stock throttle body bolts. Do you have a picture of what you have?

[jacksonbrown]

yes,

Stock TB on one side Q45 on other or size or intake original opening

I bought one of those cheap ones also, looked great but when I wen't to install injectors noticed that holes were machined wrong and spacing was off. Took it to local machine shop with original intake and they straightened it out. cost of intake and machine work together was under 375. On car now running great--- and wayyyyy cheaper than greddy. Was well worth the little bit of work

and will that fit a rb20 throttle body..i noticed you have a rb25

Dont know for sure, but you could measure yours and compare to pic

i also have to modify the water neck..Hoping the local tune shop wont charge too much for this

[jacksonbrown]

If ya need adapter let me know, just pay shipping and $5 and its yours. Whats wrong with water neck?

it doesnt clear the manifold..sticks up too much.. Ive heard that the rips manifold comes with a modified one.. hoping the machine shop or tuning shop can do something for me
