OK So I was at the wreckers today and was looking for a TB for my 91 323 SOHC 8 Valve engine! well I decided to take a look at the 16V SOHC engine and I noticed that the TB inlet was bigger! So I removed bothe of them and put the 16V on the 8V and it bolts up fine and the flap doesnt hit! does anyone know if this will make a difference in performance bny using the bigger TB and if it will work??

The flap moves without hitting anything? I always figured you would have to dremel/grind out the intake manifold port to allow more air through to make up for the more air the tb is letting though...but i guess if the flap is still good at full throttle you wont have to drill anything out.
Performance wise im guessing if you adjust the idle correctly you should at least gain a LITTLE more hp. especially with that weak of an engine.1991 Mazda protege DX (SOHC) 5spd
