hey there, are there any throttle bodies or air plenums from other cars that will fit right onto a KA24E engine that also increase performance?? because i cant find after market ones for my car ANYWHERE??

part of owning a pintara is that nothing is off the shelf.. you have to use your noodle and think outside the box a little to make things work. there will be some work to make stuff fit regardless.
there is nothing i'm aware of thats a straight bolt on fit.. ka24e tb is actually an upgrade for the 300zx.. you're going to need at least an enlarged opening on the plenum to accomodate a larger tb.. failing that, you're gonna need a custom plenum.

yeah i dont really have the knowledge time money or tools for major custom work like that, i was hoping at least an old skyline one might fit or sumin, but i guess cuz the pinnie is fwd that makes it difficult. well thats a bummer, cuz i really wanted to try and get my pinnie up to about the 200hp mark before i had to sell it

Skylines are 6 cylinders, pintaras are 4s. Completely different intake manifolds.
-
something i had seen done on a skyline was the owner blocked off the normal entrance to the plenum and then cut a hole and had two flanged welded onto the long side (front) of the plenum, then fitted 2 throttle bodies.
seemed to work, he got substantially better numbers on the dyno than any of the other 31 owners.

Guess i should really finish that modified stock plenum for the Catera twin throttles huh? :)

yeah, all thats a bit out of my league for the moment, thnx any way though
