I'm looking at getting the jm fab smim and my question is what throttle body should I use?
The throttle body flanges for it are the accufab 75mm tb, bbk 75mm tb, nissan q45 80/90mm tb, and the power plus 75mm tb.
Also where can I get them.
Thanks
Bryce
 
1G throttle body are 60mm, wich is the same that 2.5''. If you are using 2.5'' intercooler piping, it's not necessary to go with a bigger throttle body cause this part wont cause any restriction. And the street version of JM intake manifold are made to accept 1g TB as well.

Oh yea I forgot to include that part.
 
1G TB. Better yet NT TB. You can call Steve from throttlebodys.com, he rebuilds these. Makes the bore 63mm, instead of 60mm and puys a half shaft mod, which he says equals 65mm @ WOT. I' ve seen Turbotrix built EVO with GT42R and everything else run 9.2 with stock 60mm TB.
 
I run an accufab 75mm, I would stay with a factory unless you are going max power drag build or something like that. I have nothing to back this up, this is just my opinion.

Don't get a throttle body with with the half shaft mod. It makes the shaft weak and can break. Yes I have experience with that as mine broke off the starting line at the Drag strip last weekend.
 
If you decide to use a 1g non-turbo throttle body, it has to be machined to accept the turbo shaft seals.
