Ooooh, wish I'd known that before going off to buy mine. I bought it because it was alloy thinking it must be right. Anyhoo got the right one by chance as I did measure it, part numbers splart numbers!

The 2 part numbers quoted by the op are both metal.
The MHB000261 is shown as fitting a ZR160 from vin number 600076 onwards,
and the other MHB000080 as being for a K series, high performance.

From the pictures its hardly conclusive if it is a 52 or 48 throttle body, I can't see any Part numbers in either picture... plus whats to say you havn't swapped them over already and are just trying to get something for free like the BMC? - By no means am I saying you did, just whats to say you didn't? 
Sorry if this causes offence or anything, it wasn't meant that way... Just everyone always forget that sellers get conned sometimes too! |
you are a rude british. I mean yes, rude.
The pic of 52MM TB is from internet. I only got the 48mm TB from the seller.
how can I swap them???
free bmc?
I admit that I'm not that rich, but I'm not gona do that kind of dirty things.
again, you are a rude guy.

Seriously if a tb has a 52mm butterfly it is 52mm who cares what the fuking part number says!
and as for thinking i intended to do this on purpose the answer is no. The 52mm stamp is hidden under the bracket which supports the wiring loom for the inlet manifold. In my garage i have endless amounts of **** and for the life of me cant remember what i have and havent got all i knew is i brought a 52mm tb for my zr and thats what i sent him.

Perhaps someone could post a pic of a MHB000080 with a ruler across it, just to clear up the confusion.
As for quoting posts on .org as sources of good info....lol

So I guess from that we can come to the conclusion its a 46mm tb not 48 or 52
