Performance throttle body? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

I have heard about using a z32 throttle body of KA motors. Does anyone know if it is an easy swap? Does it help much?
Thanks,
Jeff

unless im mistaken, the ka throttle bodies are the biggest you can get.  Unless you bore it out some.  You can find that on the 240sx.org website under performance.

Yeah, KA throttle bodies are pretty big.

The swap is using the KA body on a z32, not the other way around <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='

I was wondering why no one was swapping the throttle bodies  <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='

Yea takes a little modification but I have a couple of friends using their KA TB on their SRs

I heard that people swap the 240 TB into a 300ZX.  There's also all that stuff that they used to do on 240 TB at the group buy at the 240sx website (ie bore it slightly larger, bead blast, and polish)
