Default Bigger Throttle plate

Hi guys,

Do you guys think it is worth to get a bigger throttle plate for my car?
The original size is 65mm, and the rebuilded one are 68mm.

Well, a bigger throttle plate means the engine can get more air.
althrough it might be just a little difference, but for $100 bucks, do you think it is worth it?
you know turbo and NOS cost too much!!
by the way, any idea how much will it cost to install those NOS stuff?
how much will it cost for a recharge?

I say you should get it, it gives you much quicker throttle response if anything. Also, the F20B revs pretty high, so you should see some gains up high.

used ZEX kit(everything) 50-75 shot for 320-350 shipped.
pretty good deal if you ask me.
NOS is harder to install and little bit more expensive.
ZEX is little bit safer since the computer thingie run "safer" control..
that's what i heard.(iam mr.dont know jack about N20 too..)
neither one is bang for the buck
run it safe and you be very happy with so-called "cheating gas"
