The 1.6 8v engines tb's fit, and have a much larger bore.

You'd have to sort something out with the TPS and ICV though.

good luck trying to get the throttle body body off a c16xe. they are a right slag, the bolts go in from the back instead of from the top like on the ecotec engines.

for the hassle thats involved ur better off leaving it till uve got other mods to compliment it.

ive got an enlarged throttle body. didnt pay £200 for it though.

just take your throttle body to a cnc mavhine shop and ask them to mill it out. thaen get them to make an enlarged throttle plate to match. i paid about £40ish i think

not worth doing unless you have other mods to compliment it tho such as inlet, headwork exhaust etc...

He's not talking about multiple throttle bodies, talking about a modified o/e throttle body;
