I am looking to port/polish/halfshaft a some first gen throttle bodies. I was wondering if they are all the same on every first gen mini?

Thanks for the help!

Thanks for the great resource!

Looks like I have a first gen NA throttle body from 02. It didn't have interchange information that I could find (those fields were blank) so for posterity here are the interchanges according to the part numbers:

13541503358 R53/R52 (cooper s, Cooper S Convertible, JCW) 2000 - 2006

13547509043 R50/R52 (2001 Cooper and Cooper Convertible 2000 - 2008)

13547576698 R56 (2nd gen Cooper S, Cooper S convertable, JCW 11/05-6/11)

13547576697 R56 (Cooper and cooper convertable up to 6/11)

Has anyone upgraded to a larger throttle body from the cooper to the cooper S? I suppose I am assuming its a bit bigger, just didn't know if bolt holes line up and electronics played nice. If someone could verify the bolt spacing on their S that would be great.
