throttle body swap!!

the search doesn't seem to be working so not sure if this has been posted, but here is what i found

here was the topic

Quote:

what parts can been swapped from a MX-3 GS to their base RS model and what can be adapted from other Mazda models to the MX-3RS, Protege and Ford Escorts. Here are a few things to look for either new or used

Larger V-6 Throttle Body:

The stock (K08) 1.8L V-6 throttle body is 55mm diameter. The (KL) 2.5L V-6 (MX-6/626) is almost identical to the stock 1.8L TB except for it has a larger 60mm bore and can be over bored to 65mm. You will have to swap the ISC valve that is attached to the Throttle body. Technically the ISC valve are also the same but the difference is the location of the vacuum ports and coolant passages are in different places.

would the throttle body work in our 1g pros?

so? any thought? a larger throttle body will give a few extra hp

it says its almost identical to the 1.8L TB, is the TB the same engine we have? if so it should be a perfect fit, right?

Look up at the top of this page, to the right. There should be a button up there for the FAQ. Your anser is in that FAQ.

Yes, you can put a certain model year range, non turbo RX-7 TB in the gen 1 pro.
