This answer is incorrect to an extent. Just because the air flow inwards through the throttle body is increase it is not correct to assume that the airflow through the intake manifold runners and intake port will also experience larger amount of intake airflow. There is more than just upgrading a tb to increase airflow. If anything concentrate on the air velocity. A itr tb will only help with throttle response when paired with a stock intake manifold. Think about it in this sense, if you have a large door leading to a small hallway does that mean you can fit more through the door with no regards to the hallway itself?

also a gsr throttle body will only work on a gsr intake manifold because of the way the throttle cable hooks up. just thought i'd through that out there.

yea sorry i guess i didn't word it right it will work but will require modification. also he probably has another throttle body but if he didn't it would require him buying 2 throttle bodies to make one work. but thanks for correcting my poor phrasing.

Or you could just swap the cable pulley from any other tb in place of the gsr pulley. That is really the only difference.

they are both 60mm stock i thought.... guys correct me if im wrong ... but i thought all d series were 56mm,,, b,f and h series were 60mm,, and the s2k's were like 70mm stock.. in fact i was told a quick and cheap upgrade for a d series is to swap out any b or h series tb because theyre 4mm larger... and bolt right up.....
