question on TB swap

i have a 99 z24 auto. i am asking from what vehicles can we get a higher TB that would fit snugly into my car? i know my car has a 52mm TB and i understand goin any higher than 59mm is pointless for an N/A, but i want to look around on ebay and at the junk yard to get a used TB from another car. some examples would be from berettas, cutlass', 2nd gen cavaliers, but my other concern is what model, engine size, and year would work? also any complications for the swap? i reall really appreciate everyone's input and expertise on this and i thank you again.

Re: question on TB swap

any TB from a 2.3HO will fit, its 56MM. The bolt holes on the TB are bigger than the bolts on the stock TB, but it should hold fine.

Re: question on TB swap

Just curious, wasn't the 2.4 design based off the 2.3HO Quad-4? Thought I saw that somewhere, that would explain the TB compatiblity. Jayson, have you done this to your's already? That would probaly make a good difference with your SC.

Re: question on TB swap

yes the 2.4 twin cam is a redone 2.3 Quad 4. I havent dont it, i tried but the TB doesnt fit right cause of the supercharger.
