Infinity q45 Throttle body is 90mm in stock form. You are on borrowed time with the BL trans if you run the 2835 kit to its potential, if you stick around 500whp you will be perfectly fine. If you plan on running a gt47-88 t6 framed turbo in the future you will undoubtedly need a th400, 4l80e, and or convert to 6 speed. My car was built by sp engineering and I did the swap you are doing now almost 3 years ago and ran the stock aristo trans/stock converter for nearly two years pushing 500whp without any problem. I hope for your sake you swapped out the 2jzgte pistons to forged pistons as this will eventually bite you in the ***...Looks like you have spent a fortune on this build and it shows, nice car!
