a hacked up stock 1.8L manifold
this is basically a 1.6 manifold that has been chopped and has some motorcycle throttle bodies mounted to it with silicone couplers. The same throttle bodies could probably fit on a 1.8 manifold with a little work (the cylinder spacing is different after all)

I understand what the ITBs are connected to. I know it uses silicone couplers. I can tell this by looking at the picture. The fact that the 1.8 is wider is exactly what I was asking about. "What's required to adapt the IRTBs to 1.8?" Is asking what needs to be done to the ITBs to connect to the 1.8. I didn't ask "how do I make a manifold for this work." I don't see any way to make this ITB setup wider, and angling out the couplers to each side is just... bad for even air flow.
That type of throttle body setup is held together with a long rod so they can be spaced appart with washers if needed. Most likely that wont even be an issue, the cylinder spacing difference is minimal and the loss of flow from angling the runners is most likely non-existent, most intake manifolds dont have straight runners to begin with.

Calm the hell down. You asked an incredibly generalized question, you asked what do I need to make this work on a 1.8, well the biggest thing you need is another damn intake manifold, you didnt say anything about already knowing about the cylinder spacing or the differences in flange, injectors, or anything.

Not straight runners, yes. But the difference in volume and flow due to the angle would worry me, especially as the #4 in the Miata already tends to have problems. It might be nothing, I might be wrong.
I know that I'm here because the tech is better here than Miata.net. Don't have a turbo Miata anymore, but it's still better here.
