Default Throttle bodies

the new focus has electronic throttle similar to fiesta right?

does anyone know the size of both off hand and whether or not a focus t/b could be installed on a fiesta?

i can imagine there would be a whole bunch of problems with the computer not being compatible or not recognizing the throttle. or am i wrong?

I'd Imagine with some modification the focus TB could be installed. However due to the electronic nature it could be difficult if the connectors that go to the ECU are different.

The focus would probably also have a different TB size due to the engine being bigger. Ever seen a Fiesta TB?? Its bloody tiny!

Exactly the reason why im wanting to change it :P hehehe
and i figured since both the fiesta and new focus have electronic throttle that it may be the best place to start.

I guess noone knows, not even people from the UK.
