What about just using the 2.0 plenum? it is larger, then just add the 2.0 throttle body. I don't know the size difference between the 1.7 and 2.0 throttle bodies.

Best would be to use the larger 2.0 intake pipes also (and heads of course). I just happened to have another 1.7 d-jet plenum and throttle body and wanted to make a test. /Lars S |

I increased the size of the TB on my latest build as well but was not sure if it made any difference. I have run a 1.7 plenum/TB/Runners on a 2.0 before and it definitely restricts the power. From what I recall (and don't quote me on this) 1.7 TB ~37mm (also smaller runners and much smaller plenum) 1.8 TB ~45mm (same size runners as 2.0) 2.0TB ~46mm (largest stock TB, same size runners as a 1.8 but intake layout causes turbulence. Also 3 bolt runners vs 1.7 and 1.8 4 bolt) The 2.0 intake requires a bit of hacking to fit on a 1.7, and still has its problems. My solution, still looks stock and gets you a total throttle plate area pretty close to what you get with dual 1.7s, and also you keep equal length runners with the larger diameter. 1.8 plenum with the TB opening stretched to 52MM, + modified 50MM vanagon TB: total throttle plate area 1962mm^2 on top of a 2056, does not seem to be lacking for air on the top end at all     |
