I bought this throttle body and would like to make sure it is an Evo 3.

holy crap, so i dont have the right throttle body? I bought this with an Evo 3 manifold and it was said that it was an Evo 3. Will this even work with the Evo 3 intake manifold?
 
I will have to take a pic of that tomorrow because I am unsure now since ive read that there is 2 different type of evo 3 manifolds.
 
There is one type of Evo 3 manifold, the other manifold which is similar is from an RVR. The Rvr is a van like creature with a 4g63t motor. It has a smaller throttle body, and some small differences with the manifold.
 
I am not sure about that one, you would need to go search in the long thread about these manifolds to see how it stacks up. When I was looking heavy for one of these manifolds people were just starting to test them. Since I have been looking for over a year for a Evo 3 manifold, and throttle body with ZERO luck I gave up on tracking the progress in that thread.
 
Alright, well i'll try to get a pic of it tomorrow for some confirmation. :(
 
The RVR manifold is just as good as the Evo. The biggest difference is the smaller throttle body opening (52mm, same as a 2g throttle body). The actual Evo 3 manifold has a 60mm opening, which is the same as a 1g. There are some other small, minor differences such as number/location of vacuum nipples, and possible inclusion of EGR provisions.

If that throttle body came with the manifold, then it's probably a full RVR setup.
 
Is this an RVR manifold?

I wont be able to measure this any time soon because i do not have that measuring tool.
 
No. Look at the above throttle body and picture it bolted to the manifold. Nipples are on the top, FIAV on the bottom with the ISC towards the firewall. Now, tell me where the throttle cable bracket is. Towards the front of the car, right? Where is it normally? Towards the firewall. The cable is also on the firewall side of the intake manifold. There'd be no way you could connect the throttle cable to the bracket.
