Got mine installed and throttle response is better and idle is smoother. It replaced the stock throttle body on a 2005 X-terra with 180k miles. Just my personal experience but definitely worth it for me.
You can use the OEM stock coupler from the intake to the new upgraded throttle body. The OEM coupler and clamps will fit 76mm up to 92mm on either side of the coupler. I use the OEM coupler with the stock throttle body (70mm) and my Nismo intake and the intake diameter is 3.25 in/82.55mm. Your welcome.
Can you explain a bit about HOW the larger throttle body gives you more torque? With tested charts. Because large bore TBs can easily cause sluggish and stumbling performance, and out of whack AFRs.
Yeah I second that. I've wondered about this mod for the 4.0 since I bought mine new in 06. I always felt like the choke point was the small upper plenum itself.
The intake shootout was completely flawed though. They compared closed intakes to open intakes with the hood open and nothing covering the actual intake to simulate how the airflow would be in actual use.
@@XYoverlandNot the difference you think. I've seen other dyno results on our trucks with the hood closed, results were about the same as they found. None of the airboxes or open element intakes are acoustically tuned. What I have seen make a big difference though was once the intake manifold itself heat soaked, the air piping over the radiator getting hot.
@@deweysturgill6220 you could argue all the intakes/exhausts were “about the same” but if they’re claiming to have engineers and put a truck on a dyno and compare numbers on a line graph, it should be at least somewhat scientific.
@@XYoverland yeah I hear yeah. I see that r&d tech and scientific control in motorcycle exhaust, 900 hp circletrack motors and the like. That kind of developmemt would make that $600-1100 exhaust in to something the average Frontier owner couldn't or wouldn't want to afford.

Update - I installed the upgraded throttle body with the OEM coupler.

Is there any data available to show us expected gains over stock? Something similar to the exhaust and intake shootout?

Isn't that the Ukrainian president

How does it act as an improvement over the fly-by-wire throttle feel? Does it somehow feel more like a throttle cable setup or something?
It allows 15% more airflow at the same throttle input.
Can you still use the OEM Intake with this kit? Z1 sells a programmer? So you don't have to do the "Pedal Dance" Link to that too please.

88mm outer diameter intakes only at this point.
@@z1off-road can this scan tool adjust the sensitivity to the auto headlight sensor that's on the dash?
Yes you can, the OEM coupler works. I installed the throttle body yesterday with my nismo intake
@@loztsoul77but will it work on my OEM stock air box?
Should also do the AIR STAIGHTENER MOD when you do this. th-cam.com/video/UCw1lcZBbRs/w-d-xo.htmlsi=wuz06TJAQI62dbxP&t=994
Just use your tow haul button
Thats only on the Titan. VQ40 was not intended as a tow pig.
Bro looks like zelensky
Nope 👎
Not worth it. My truck is made to do work and haul stuff, it’s not a race truck.
If I want more power, I’ll do a LOJ LS conversion with a 5.3v8
Noice forgot to say with lifter drops at 5miles or less 😂😅😊
How does Vladimir Zelensky make time to do review videos with all he’s got going on?! 🫢
