Need some input here!
Which is better?
I've been looking around for just changing out the plate as it would be much cheaper and much easier, are the 850, and 960's share plates? aside from the plastic?

Speed has never killed anyone, suddenly becoming stationary... That's what gets you.

I've collected a couple 850 N/A throttle bodies and a few throttle plates over the months I've been pulling parts. I did this mostly in case of mistakes, and to be sure I had the right parts. I figured I would eventually do this modification.
Last week I found a '94 with VVIS like my '93 So the throttle body had the same vacuum attachments as mine. I brought that home, but never came across a 960 donor throttle plate. The extra throttle body was in case I did'nt like the mod, my original one is still in tact.
So I had a couple throttle plates to experiment with. Luckily I took my time and did a pretty good job of hand filing the obstructive area. I actually used a hand file that I had previously used to finish Formica edges. It was a little time consuming, less than two hours, but no mistakes.
So I did the battery disconnect reset and drove about twenty miles, city and highway. It felt like the ECU had learned the new setup by then.
What I can say, is that it has given it a consistent throttle feel whithout the flat spots it had before.
And my early N/A , having the VVIS manifold, had extremely noticeable peaks and valleys in the powerband.
It's almost like a normal car now, ha.
Anyway I was never in a rush to do this mod, but I am not disappointed. I see no problems with it.
Have Fun.

I ran across a 65mm ford mustang throttle body on CL today for cheap, and had a thought.
Would the throttle plates from any other manuf/vehicle fit in the 850 NA throttle body? Not a car that uses a volvo engine, but something from another car maker altogether?? For instance, assuming the screw holes are close or can be made to fit, can I use a throttle plate off of a mustang or explorer 302? Or even a generic holley throttle body??
Inquiring minds want to know.....

In case you find yourself reading this thread and wondering where you can find 960 throttle plates to upgrade your 850's throttle plate, Snabb sells them online.

Having extra throttle in garage I removed plate cut off plastic and soldered hole , well polished after it looks well, please tell me what I should expect after this modification. My 1996 is Canadian version with 10 valves so it has small 55 mm throttle. I have some ducting to make airflow easier, thinking about K&N filter or similar.
