No idea. Go measure it and let us all know.

The 2.0l Is a cable throttle body, however I believe.
ETB is only on the 2.3L engines, right?

Protege 2.0L, yes.
Mazda3 2.0L, no.
The Mazda3 2.0L engine is physically identical to the 2.3L engine. The only difference is the stroke, compression ratio, balance shafts and VVT.
Ya yours is electronic. Thanks for the pic joe!
So that means the overseas (non usa/canada) have cable driven. So that begs the question. Which one did iceman make a replacement for? (Considering all the ones photoed on the site are cable driven).
Anyone feel like emailing iceman?

Crossbow and Joe
Crossbow: the picture you posted, is it of your car and if so where did you get it? That is for sure a TB cable.
Joe: where was your car bought? That is for sure a electronic TB
If they are infact both North Americian 2.0L and both on the 4dr base model... something is weird.

I don't think the 2 throttle bodies are that much different. Our TB might even be easier to make since they might not have to maker the spring/arm for the butterfly.
Just unhook our electronics from the stock TB and install on the new TB.
This will be a great mod.....most likely will not provide any HP but the throttle response will be crazy.
Throttle response is dictated by the little electronic thingy AzMz3...not the throttle body itself. Replacing the throttle body with a slightly bigger one (possibly polished) would just allow for another reduction in intake restriction on the engine....which would then move onto the intake manifold as the next restrictive section (if you had a CAI).
According to the service manual, it also can't be disassembled. Any section which indicates inspection, and or removal of th electronic throttle says "replace throttlebody". (Not the specific component). There are also no torque specs, or instructions on how to remove the electronic control component, nor is it servicable.
So now I'm extremely curious as to how the iceman system works, and if its only for european spec 3's. So one of you 3 owners go email them already

.THROTTLE ACTUATOR INSPECTION [L3]
NOTE:
- Perform the following inspection only when directed.
- Disconnect the negative battery cable.
- Disconnect the throttle body connector.
- Measure the resistance between the throttle actuator terminals using an ohmmeter.
- If not as specified, replace the throttle body. (See INTAKE-AIR SYSTEM REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [L3] .)
Ok 2 questions...
1.) Can we confirm the tb for 6s is the same as 6i
2.)How hard would it be to convert over to cable other than locating part#s and getting a dealer to order them if they have a geographical block(U.S. dealers not being able to order O. Seas Parts) on them

The L3 and AJ throttle bodies are different. Whether they'd work swapped to the other car is anyone's guess.
As for converting to the cable system...you could never do it. You'd have to replace the entire pcm...otherwise the car would have a heart attack...not to mention you'd lose things like cruise control...
