No. Ports won't come close to line up, and neither will the bolt holes.

The bolt holes do line up, its ports that do not. This is for the LIM for the turbo to na block. If you want to just use the LIM for the turbo on an NA, and keep the UIM from the na, then yes the bolt holes do not match up.

ok, lemmie explain. I have a 13b NA engine in a different car. Because of this the induction manifold and air flow sensor exit the butterfly valve at the wrong angle (the filter sticks out towards the crankshaft pulley end of the engine. In this application i need an elbow from the butterfly exiting towards the flywheel end of the engine. It is only the air fliter/air flow sensor part of the engine that needs flipping. The induction system fromn a turbo is on the right hand side (as you look from the front of the car) or so i beleive, and i wonder if this elbow from a turbo car, will fit the throttle butterfly on a NA 13b engine...

Cheers for your replies guys

Oh, you mean the throttle body elbow. Yeah, you can swap those.

fantastic. Sorry, thats why i called it an induction manifold rather than inlet manifold!
Could work out well. Anybody sell any aftermarket ones? might be easier than finding a scrap one....

For the record, flipping the TII upper intake 180 degrees and then installing it on the NA lower will NOT fit. This is the question originally asked...

But since he actually meant the little plastic air horn, then yes, it fits just fine.
