Default intake mani install?

i have a shitbox d15b8(8 valves of fury) and an extra d15y5 IM. it looks similar to the y8 IM and has a much bigger TB, BUT the ports on my d15 head are smaller than the ports on the y5 IM. so my question is: will i see any benefit from adding a bigger TB and larger runners if its not port-matched? surely it couldnt be worse than it is now right? i plan on getting a y8 longblock asap, but i have to make due with the d15b8 for now.

just got it done, something isnt right tho. i noticed a big difference in throttle responce, but it feels like its bogging in the midrange, i had to use the d16 fuel rail, and i used the FPR from the d16 also. im going to switch them now and see if it makes a difference.
