Throttle body upgrade f6a
I haven't bothered to measure, so what is the ID size of the standard TB?
F8B EFI turbo - Three pots and a snail.
The car is in storage at the moment, ( in process of building house), so would have to go and measure it, I have measured it in the past and from memory I think it's around 38-40 mm, but not 100% sure, also if the tb is changed would the standard manifold restrict air flow anyway? And if that's the case would it be worth getting a manifold made?
If you fit a larger TB then you'd need to bore the manifold to suit. I doubt the plenum or runners would be a restriction.

Yeah that's no dramas, as I said it might be more hassle then what it's worth, but I'm upgrading everything else and dont want the tb to be the thing that let's the package down, I will do a bit more research and see what happens I guess

Standard TB is about 50mm...
I been looking around for a while to see what will work, XF i think is 54mm and should go ok... I also been looking at TB's off CA18's, 4AG's, etc...
There is an autospeed article on TB sizes i found once.

Seems a bit pricey when you could probably just as easily adapt a Swift GTi TB and TPS. Shouldn't be too hard to find (or expensive) given that they're often replaced with SR20 units on Swifts. In fact I might have a spare one in the workshop I can check for fitment.
-edit-
Just checked and I had a G13B TB... a quick eyeball suggests there's not a snowflake's chance of it fitting an F6AT manifold. 44mm vs 39mm, but the body size itself is massive by comparison, the bolts are a good 10mm further apart. I'll pull the F6AT TB off and take some pics tomorrow.
