Default 2.3L Whipple 102mm TB adapter
I have a NW 102mm TB for my build, my whipple is the 2.3L. I am trying to find where I can buy an adapter to bolt my 102mm Tb onto my whipple, anyone have a line on anything like that?

I am currently not at home for a few days, but I did talk to a “tech” at whipple and he said I need an adapter. He couldn’t give me anymore info and really wasn’t helpful at all

I made a whole new inlet housing for my Whipple so I could bolt on a 102 mm TB because there was no room for the throttle where Whipple originally had it. I don't know if this info applies to you, it's hard to tell what truck or what Whipple you have.

It’s the 2.3L for a 2009 Sierra 6.2L. Do you have any pictures of what you did to modify and make the 102Mm fit? I’ll link a pic of my whipple

You need a 3bolt to 4bolt adapter.

I think the tricky part is going to be the 102mm as most adapters are 75/78mm to 92mm adapters.

My stock 92mm truck TB is 4 bolt and the whipple is designed for a direct bolt in with my 92mm, I’m just wanting to install my Nick Williams 102mm and whipple said I need an adapter

Downside is that the whipple inlet is still not anywhere near 102mm so the gains aren’t true.

This is the Drawing I have found of my Whipple 2.3L 140AX since I am away from home at the moment.
