60mm ID where the butterfly is

Either way 120 pounds is excessive for anything

I picked up a 65mm 6G72 TB with all fittings for equivelant about 17 pounds
Direct fit as well

GX was 63mm standard IIRC so they may have put one of those on. Bit of a waste of time though if the inlet to the manifold is still 60mm :roll:

IS that the TB of the 3 litre V6 spetz? If its a direct fit I know Hyundai used that engine as well as Mitzi so I may start looking around our local scrappies for one. Did the TPS and throttle cable just bolt straight on?

You can use the original TPS etc
And, mine isn't on but of what I read, all you gotta do is redirect some vacuum hoses or something
Either way, direct bolt up with some little exterior things need changing

And yes from 3L V6 or 3.5L V6

Have you ever dragged the car?
If so, what times does it do?

Otherwise, how quick is it?
