   Thanks, You should just use a 16v, Your undoubtably going to want to up it after a few months, you'll need a uprated fan, split looms, a single plug ECU (pre 1999) I believe, or 3 1999+? This would really be better tin performance/ engine where the mechanics live

   The throttle body outlet(I think is the wrong size)& it`s not designed for that engine as well.

    Ask the question in the affiliate section or the engine tuning section.. theres people who actually know what they're talking about in there.

    to the OP:
    
    You'll need the VTR Throttle body and the cold air feed is different to the air filter box is different too, think its more restricted.
