Which Zetec throttle body for GBS plenum
Hi
I tried to fit the one from the 2 litre mondeo but the backing plate is too thick. I've heard it mentioned that you need one from a Focus but
which one? I assume a 2 litre Focus blacktop? Also do I need to retain my current TPS to match my Oem loom and ecu?
Cheers guys

I've no idea which one fits the GBS plenum, but as far as I know all the mk1 focus's (98-04) use the same version of the 1.8/2.0
zetec's (i.e. the last version aka: blacktop or Zetec-R or focus zetec)
if the 2.0 is anything like my 1.8 its a nasty cheap lump of plastic

If OEM ecu then I guess it will be expecting the TPS to be outputting resistance values within a certain range as you open/close the throttle. I
*think* it's likely that the silver-top TPS would output same values as a Focus one, but test it with a multimeter on the bench to be sure
though.
Yeah Focus/Blacktop throttle body is what is intended. As you say, it has a thinner mounting base.
I used a 2.0 Mk1 Mondeo one though. Drilled the holes bigger and then used 4 sleeve nuts to secure the throttle body to the screw threads on GBS
plenum.

Thanks mate,
I am doing the same as you and have ordered the sleeves. Cheers for the tip!
