*EDIT* This is for RWD CA18DET, may work for the FWD also, not sure...

Flip a SOHC upside down and it bolts right up. You just have to re-route the coolant lines to bypass the throttle body.

The DOHC doesnt work since the angle of the throttle pulley is very different.

You can try the RB20det throttle body, its 60mm and is a direct bolt on but you will need to port the plennum side as its smaller (54mm)

again, not sure if this applies to the FWD CA18's, but the KA24DE throttle body DOES work, you just had to make some modifications! XD
