77 FI throttle body??

[gator]

Can I install a NOS nissan datsun 240z,280z,280zx turbo weber throttle body as seen at http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/nissan-datsun-240z-280z-280zx-turbo-weber-throttle-body_W0QQitemZ8008381032QQcategoryZ33558QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem ?

I am at odds as keep the FI and fix it up or install the SU's I have (they need rebuild too)

Thanks ..Bruce

Yes.. very simple and worth while mod!

Easiest and cheapest example, would be a 60mm throttle body from a 240sx. (Make sure you check to see if it is 60mm all the way through.. there are two types, and one decreases in size at the back of the mounting plate.) These are basicly the same as MSA offers.

You must get a spacer and change the Linkage hook up, and thats simple. You can usually get them for around $25-30 at a yard. They are pretty ready available at this time as well.( people who pay $100+ are wasting money in my book)

I was very pesimistic about MSA quoting .5sec decrease in times.. but once I put a 240sx TB on, it was amazing! Throttle response is completely different, and excelleration is very much improved. Drives like a different car.

I think parts you'll need depends on what you want to do with the engine.

Fuel Injection is better for gas mileage, and the carbs are better for performance, like holeshots & such. I've been in an injected car tho, that pushed you back into the seat so you couldn't lift your arms, but that engine was *a little modified).
