does anyone know how to do this or know of a site that explains it? any help would be appreciated.

 

i believe its as simple as lining up bolt holes and bolting it on

 

If it is that easy why would anyone bore out their stock TB?

 

yes

 

I think Altoid is just humoring you because if it could be done without extensive work why wouldn't everyone do it.

 

ive heard that b series tbs only down on the d16y8 z6 blah blah manifold and not the a6

who knows

 

hey

you can use a 1st gen b16 tb on a a6 intake but you have to do some fabrication.

3 of the 4 b16 tb holes ALL MOST line up these are the top 2 and the bottom right. So all you have to do for those is redrill the holes to line up.

The forth hole bottom left isn't even close and you actually have to drill through one of the air passeges and grind around it to get a nut on the stud. Then you have to use JB weld or some kind of filler to fill the passeges you drilled through to stop any leaks.

Here are some pics from my dohc zc intake(zc and a6 have the same tb pattern) it looks ghetto but it works so it doesn't matter. This is the first one I did and kinda fucked it up but if you have a nice drill press you can do a nicer job and not use as much JB weld I didn't have drill press and did everything with my Makita 1/4" die-grinder.

i know i know i know that i have a b series TB on my z6 intake manifold and it wont fit on the a6 manifold i have

 

thanks for the input fellas. cheers

 

so a b16 TB bolts up to a y8 IM with no fabrication?

 

cant u just get it bored out to the size of a B series tb?

 

maybe Ill get a y8 or z6 intake manifold w/ b-series TB and put that on my d16!

 

 

bolts on with the b series tb gasket u will need to widen the d series manifold up to match it though

 

HOLY HACK JOB BATMAN!!!!!

 

damn. a LS throttlebody bolts right up with no mods.
