enix187 Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 THIS ISN'T THE SAME OLD QUESTION just an extension of it. I've done some searches on this and other forms, and understand all but one thing, where do i get the spacer for the throttle body? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
83zed owner Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 Try Arizonazcar(dot)com, they had them one year back last i checked, only 36 dollars. Just checked and still have them on his site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ModernS30 Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 I think you should just port your intake to match. Close up the old holes and re-drill new ones to match the 240sx TB. Or, you can go to a 90mm TB and it would be even better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
83zed owner Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 Well if he does not port the manifold, there would be no point in the 240sx TB. i say port the manifold as mentioned above add the TB and get a cold air intake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sticky280zx Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 Not to mention 90mm is overkill for a non turbo and even to some overkill on turbo motors. Also the whole point of the spacer is to be able to retain stock linkage, so thats probably why he wants it, or you can go the cable route.

enix187 Posted January 17, 2010 Author Share Posted January 17, 2010 I haven't really found any good info on going the cable route. but i was planning on keeping the stock linkage, and i can get a 240 throttle body for free. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nosebleedZ Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 Enix, why do you want to use a cable instead of the pushrod linkage? It will work fine with a small accel pedal adjustment when using the S13/14 throttle body. Just make sure & NOT hacksaw the throttle plate shaft (passenger side when installed on L28 manifold), & correctly place the 240SX ball pivot cam at the end closely matching the pushrod. Requires no custom anything except the spacer & 1" longer bolts. But you have options here as well, if you haven't already taken the plunge & bought an aluminum one. Make it out of polypropylene that comes in 3/4" thickness. You can make one with a jigsaw, a 2.5" hole saw, 5/16" drill bit/ drill, & exacto knife in a few hours, without doing homemade metal work. Seal it with a trimmed sheet of make-a gasket material from a parts store (2 gaskets will be required). As the others have said, port match the manny or this mod is useless, & your AFM won't like it due to bottle-necking. The best part of using the poly, is it stays much cooler than the aluminum spacer & keeps a little extra heat out of the inlet air. This with a cold air intake system IN Front of the radiator support will give you a "little extra" power you can feel & much better throttle response. My 2 cents , if you've not already went another route. The spacer from Arizona is nice as well & a steal @ $35. Have fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FricFrac Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 I've got the one from Gray's garage - its really nice and includes all the gaskets and bolts as well as a machined space to keep your vaccum line you loose when you remove your old TB. You can bolt on your fitting or blank it out - either way you retain the functionallity if you want it. Very nice and highly recomended as well as the full tutorial on the swap! http://www.graytechsoftware.com/garage/product_details.asp?title=Products&ID=1 http://www.graytechsoftware.com/garage/tbs_linkage.asp http://www.graytechsoftware.com/garage/tbs_inst_port.asp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
