    Straight fit i wouldn't have thought so. Totally different part number. But pretty much any throttle body can be made to fit. But are there any beneficial gains to be had?

    There are a lot of evo's running high bhp, using larger throttle bodies designed to fit straight onto standard evo intake manifolds, just wondering if the standard evo one fits then the aftermarket larger ones will also fit, so a possible option for larger throttle bodies for VR4.

    Yes, there is a big market of ones in US. But their "big" uprated TB have... 70mm bore, identical to our fl vr4 or Galant V6. So... no gain at all.
