Default Ported Throttle Body

I'd like to complete my intake setup with a ported throttle body but I can't seem to find anyone who sells them anymore. Any of you fellas know of where I can acquire a ported throttle body, something larger or along the line of performance?? Thanks

Best bang for your buck would be a plenum spacer. There are mixed reviews about a cosworth, kenitix intake plenums etc. You could also look into the cj motorsports for an intake manifold, either way good luck with your search.

Thank you for the help but I'm trying to go ***** to wall as far as bolt ons. Currently have JWT popcharger, 3in MAF, Samco intake tube, Kinetix V+ plenum, MREV2 on its way, topspeed headers, TS resonated test pipes, Injen ses catback with magnaflow x pipe. I figured a ported throttle body would top me off quite well when I get my 3in MAF and MREV2 installed with an Osiris UpRev tune. Thanks for the replies guys

OP what are your power goals? What do you hope to accomplish out of this setup? The reason I ask is the VQ doesn't respond well AT ALL to N/A mods.

If your looking for more power out of the vq35 I would suggest that you talk to z1 performance, if I'm not mistake they have 300+hp all motor.

Another option would be going FI. Good luck with what ever you decide to do.

If i do recall last time i measured the throttle body is the same diameter as the port its attached to, getting a ported throttle body is a waste, if your looking for a couple extra hp's look into a throttle body spacer but dont expect 10 hp your lookin at like 1-2. or you can really waste your money and get ITB's!!!

Use the cash for cams, springs and pistons.

Thanks for the replies fellas! I just wanted to do the basics for now (bolt ons) and I figured if I could get a ported throttle body it wouldn't hurt. I have the Kinetix V+ plenum and if I remember correctly the port is larger than stock. Looks like it may be 80mm?? I figured wth I can throw down a couple hundred for a throttle body but everybody says otherwise. Looking to hit 280rwhp with some lightweight pulleys, flywheel, and rims in the near future.
