BOB B Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 Are these the same on Jspec and UK engines? or more accurately are they interchangable? Cheers. Bob. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 UK spec intake manifold has that EGR bit on the back, but apart from that i'm not sure if the TB's are any different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev.O Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 The throttle body has an extra pipe on the top, which doesn't appear to do much, if anything. See a previous thread by here. Apart from the EGR like Robert already said, the intake manifold is slightly different when it comes to one of the connections. Here's some info taken from Tony's turbo write up: The manual for the UK says to remove the VSV for fuel pressure control, but this doesn't look like a VSV. I think it's the intake temp. sensor, which the UK spec doesn't have (mines a J-spec):- Here's a picture of my UK one for comparision (ignore my AEM map sensor and bracket): Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOB B Posted October 7, 2009 Author Share Posted October 7, 2009 Thanks Rob, Kev, I want ot do some work on sprucing up both these, I thought if I could get some second hand ones I could do them up first then do a swop when there ready. Unfortunately there only ever seams to be Jspec ones up for sale, I think I'll just do mine all in one go and be stuck without the car for a while. Cheers. Bob.

Kev.O Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 I know what you mean. I managed to get mine from a chap when he fitted an aftermarket manifold and t/b. Is it worth dropping the breaker chaps a PM? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
