Hay. Im looking for a new TB, Cheap as possible and big, no china crap.. I ran an AU TB on my VL and worked really good but want to try run an idle stepper this time and on the AUs it sits right on top and is massive, looks like asssssssss. AU TB http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/FORD-FALC...em 35b035ae1e (http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/FORD-FALCON-6-CYLINDER-AU-THROTTLE-BODY-ASSEMBLY-/230589574686?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item35b035ae1e) I thought Vn, They have build in steper but they are just way too small. What are some other options i can look at? I want built in idler and TPS, and open the same way as nissan.. Anyone got any more ideas?

Vz-VEs have 90mm Fly by wires. .nuts. IMCRZY thats why i want a factory TB, i got a cheap china one and it wont idle right with it as the butterfly wont close too the same spot every time and all just crap. And too get an aftermarket decent one your looking at 500+ i found 2 Q45 TBs in USA for sale, they are 80mm, open the right way and both have TPS on them but no idler.. I know with a decent nissan TB i could screw it open too idle or try fit a idler too my intake somehow like an RB. ---------- Post added 25-08-11 at 18:28 ---------- 88 Chaser the later Q45s are fly by wire 90mms.
