Guest ZmeFly Posted January 7, 2004 Share Posted January 7, 2004 I was wondering since it is the same engine, would the TB from the Nissan Altima work as a good TB upgrade? I was looking at the one on the parts car that we have here. I cant really tell what size it is but the linkage it uses is just like what we use on our Z's and ZX's. Anyone know what size these are and or if they would even work?? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ZmeFly Posted January 8, 2004 Share Posted January 8, 2004 Just like the one from the 240SX? I might have a free one sitting right outside my door Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DatsunBoy77 Posted January 8, 2004 Share Posted January 8, 2004 I once had a throttle body out of a 95 200sx se-r with the sr20 in it. It was 70mm and woulb bolt up. I got rid of it withought thinking about putting it on my Z. I gave it to the guy i traded myold car for the Z. I am surprised no one tried these. I think the older 91-94 had the same but tps was on the wrong side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slownrusty Posted January 8, 2004 Share Posted January 8, 2004 A '95 SE Altima has the KA24DE...which has the 60mm TB. I know I own this car! Yasin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ZmeFly Posted January 8, 2004 Share Posted January 8, 2004 I have one here Yasin need any parts Thanks thats great to know. Would you happen to know if these can be bolted up directly or will they need a spacer like using one off of a 240SX? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ZmeFly Posted January 9, 2004 Share Posted January 9, 2004 The first generation Altima TB is 55mm with a 66mm inlet. I got this from my measurements of the TB at the base which was 2 3/16 inches(id), and the inlet 2 5/8 inches (id), in decimal form they go to 2.1875 and 2.625 respectively. That which in turn translate to the above readings. With all that said would it still be worth converting my 50mm TB for this 55mm TB, or just pass it up its not worth the hassle?

fl327 Posted January 9, 2004 Share Posted January 9, 2004 I think it would be fine, since it probably has the same outer size as the 60mm, so the coupler to that wouldnt change if you swapped it out later. The stock throttle body is very small. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
