4agte throttle-body upgrades?

[NOLAW]

is it worth upgrading the throttle body on a 4agte, and are there any throttle bodies other than the standard 4age one that can bolt to 4age smallport inlet manifold? (pics of manifold down the page)
as im not looking into getting a custom manifold at the moment just to fit a different throttle body to.

cheers

are you running a 4agze manifold on a 4agte?

[NOLAW]

im not actualy sure what 4age it is off but its not 4agze, il let you guys confirm what manifold it is, it is a FWD mani that has been modified to suit RWD, surfaces have been grinded back.

the block and head is an AE101 4agze smallport so id say the manifold is smallport aswel if this is anyhelp


this is my manifold, cut and shut to suit RWD


this is what it looked like before i grinded back (sample pic only)

to be honest, there probably isn't much of a gain unless you are running serious power. the 4age one i have is like 58mm, if you go bigger you may as well upgrade the intake to 3inch from the intercooler to t/b to help make use of it.

4age one ftw in my opinion

Yep, that's a smallport manifold.
There's nothing wrong with the stock 4AGE throttle body. Brendon (ih8tec), among others, makes about 200kw at the wheels on a stock 4AGE throttle.
