I´d like to reach approx. 350-400rwhp. Where is the difference between the Q45 and the stock throttle body?
Thank you to whom ever posted mine information, stock modified to front facing is relatively cheap and effective, flowed roughly 5% better and more even across the board, I had a post on SF and it was done on a super flow flow bench. Here are a few others:
And this one is my first modified stock one:
Made 440rwhp with it and was only limited by electronics at 18PSI!!!
Thanks and HTH,
Seth

Wow sethron71, that oem to ffim looks pretty good. How did you weld the aluminum without warping it?
Also, you wouldn't happen to have any unneeded long runner ffim's your willing to sell, do you?

There are a lot of people making similar numbers on the stock TB, so it can be done. I would personally go with a 65-70mm TB. The reason I went with a 70mm is for two reasons:
1.- I am running 2.5" (63.5mm) IC piping. The stock TB is 2 3/8" (60mm) not taking into account the airspace the throttle plate and rod take up. So it is a slight bottle-neck in the system. A 65mm TB would be a good match for the 2.5" IC piping.
2.- Going a little bigger like I did with the 70mm (approx. 2.75") TB gives me room to grow if needed and does not harm performance by being larger because it is too short of a distance to create any lag. And when putting so much work into a custom FFIM, it is a good idea to plan for future upgrades so you don't have to scrap or rework the mani, linkage, and TB to IC piping coupler.
But, if you go with too large of a TB your throttle will become too sensitive. Because it will flow more air with less movement of the throttle plate.
These are a couple of pics of mine i fabbed up to use the q45 tb and 3.25 thickwall alum tubing...Just got them back from powder today and have not had time for these pics but will post tomorrow...
i made modded stock one i made it befor sethron71 and i did alot of work to it as well removed the egr aka grden ti all off removed and filled the stop opeing and did some port work as well i sold it here on supra maina so other dude in cicago has it now

Concerning the Q45. As far as I know it´s from an Infinity. Now, is it Plug&Play or are there any modifications necessary?

Not plug and play, but there is a simple cross over for the wiring, if you search for the post on here of SF! Yes it is from and infinity as well. HTH
