i know that we can use the jeep throttle body with some modifications, but someone was telling me that we can use the intake manifold from the jeeps too. wouldnt this be much easier to do? or is he just an idiot? beside isnt the jeep intake mani a 6 cyclinder? or do they have a 4 cylinder with a 60 mm TB? mucho curious here.

it won't fit.
Having Problems? Heres my Three step solution to anything 2gnt related. Step 1: Put down everything in your hands. Step 2: Grab a lucky strike, Smoke it. Step 3: Walk to the fridge, double fist some keystone ice, sit down in the shade, drink one beer, finish cigarette, drink other beer, roll a joint, smoke it, walk back to your problem, and in about 5 minutes the solution will come to you. If not. Go here: here
If still nothing, your trying to hard. Start over at step 1.

>ok. i thought the jeep TB was 60 mm but tappered down to 55 >and that its possible to remove that setion so its 60 all >the way through?
yeah just have it bored out to 60mm staight through, most machine shops should be able to do it for you. if you can't find anywhere to have it done, i can have it done for you for $25+shipping.

There's a link in my writeup on how to remove that taper with a drill press and a rotory file. I did it that way. 60mm all the way through...now if I can just find the time to port match my damn manifold. haha.
Here's the link that I used as a guideline to remove the taper. Umm, wow, I just found out that that link was broken. Well, here's the real link to it. I just fixed the link in the writeup. I needed to make a correction anyway - I credited Bill for possibly doing the alluminum block and it actually should have been Gary. Anyways - here's the real link: http://go.jeep-xj.info/HowtoTBboring.htm
Here's some pics of the porting I did on mine.
