:grin: Keep working on the accent mate

I think Rubjonny will answer that for you, but I would have thought not as the 9A runs a k-jet system and the abf has an extra sensor on the tb, although suppose it could just be ignored .. um, Rubjonny? :grin:

some have had bonnet clearance issues, but i never have. i use mk2 1.3 front and box mounts (i.e. the bonded rubber ones) and the 16v/g60 rear mount. worst thing i get is a bit of rubbing on my underbonnet sound proofing which ive been meaning to remove for months but i just havn't got round to it  :grin:

the abf inlet will fit on the 9a, but you cant then fit k-jet injectors. not a problem if you plan to go megasquirt or digi1, and for the megasquirt its preferable to go with abf as then you have a tps :)

thanks for the quick reply guys  :smiley:  I was asking because the 9a throttle body has the throttle mechinism on the top unlike the abf's side mounted throttle, so mounting the 9a head on an aba comes with some clearence issues.

on that note i dont have a damn update yet due to winter, but i should have something done in a couple months

yeah abf + k-jet can result in bonnet rubbage, but i got away with it. no such problems with abf on digi managment :)

but then if you have a 9a its the same height as a kr so you'll have no trouble no matter which setup you go for. aba+abf are taller blocks which is where the issues can come from
