Default throttle body question

i'm lookin at doing a mini-me swap on my d15b7 to a dy16y8 head. now if i do that, i'd want to get a larger throttle body too. would i have to modify anything else for it to fit and work properly? cuz my idea is to get d16y8 head, skunk2 intake manifold and then a larger(68mm) tb. if something si wrong with that, please let me know before i screw something up. thanks

would i have to bore out the manny to make a 68mm tb fit? or would it be better to just go with a 66mm tb and say to hell with it?

A 68 would not fit, boring it will not work. you'd ruin the IM if you tried to bore it to 68.
