NB throttle body on 1.6 intake???

@HarryB

Are there adaptor plates to put a NB 1.8 throttle body onto an NA 1.6 intake manifold?

I may has the dumb. Since I posted the above question. I’ve heard that it is a direct fit.

fairly certain it is not a direct fit, the holes move.

Late to the party, just saw that. 1.6 NA should be different, 1.6 NB and 1.8 NB are identical (they use the same throttle body)

So a potential action could be to obtain an entire NB 1.6 intake from one of the UK part-out houses? I presume that intake would fit the 1.6 NA head.

Depends on the shipping rates (the manifolds are dirt cheap); and yes, I believe they bolt on.
