does the WR intake manifold have a largerer inlet diameter?
I don't think it does, but I will have an opportunity to verify that this weekend.
I was thinking even with the reducer you are going to experence a big increase in throttle responce as the computer will be letting in more air than it expects. 35% open on a 64mm opening is a lot more air than 35% open on your stock TB.

You bring up some good points. Since our cars have no air flow meter, the computer won't know about the extra airflow. There is a very good chance of running lean. This might make the car feel crisp and might yield better gas mileage, but could damage the motor.
- This TB is perfect for stock intake manifold
- WR intake manifold can't have a larger inlet diameter!
- Intake piping doesn't hit battery even with 2cm TB spacer (I tryed)
- Air flow meter??!!! Jazz/Fit has a map or tmap sensor! The car anyway doesn't run lean with this TB
- Blitz throttle controller is a game of 300$ and WR intake manifold for 500$ isn't worth, in my opinion..
To be precise this TB is only 0.90mm/1 cm larger than intake manifold inlet diameter (I'm referring to interior side of TB, not 64mm exterior). I built this "reducer" to avoid air hit this cm!!!
I am pretty sure the Fit uses a combination of the MAF and the 02 to do fuel adjustments. I have a feeling you would end up running way too lean, for the same reason I was running lean when I installed my intake manifold. you should run a check on your AF to see what it turns up.
BTW I can assure you the WR intake manifold is worth it I recently out-pulled an RSX with no problem with an extra 200lbs of gear on the back of the car (in a safe controlled environment in case anybody... especially mods were wondering)
I will measure the inlet diameter of the WR intake this weekend, also have an opportunity to measure the stock manifold tonight to verify the claim it is a 54mm opening.

Pretty sure it was a base, but was from a dead start and no RPM launch. I stayed ahead of him easily even with a shift. Those things must have outrageous RPM redlines because I was halfway through second before he shifted
Was just an interesting thing that happened, probably an novice driver or something.

The Type-S redlines at like 7800-8200rpms
Not sure what the base does. 6800rpms?
Based on some research on ebaymotors, it isn't this part model and corresponding bmw fitments. If you notice, the front looks a little different and the plug is different.

It seems like its only the 2.5l one if someone can find a picture of it, but it might be a european version. I searched the bosch number the OP posted and it pulls up all european models like the alfa 156 and some audi models but its all in foreign languages.
