LSX Intake Swappers/What TB?
#1
Ok I know that there arent too many of you out there but those of you with LS1,LS6,LS2,FAST,etc... intakes what throttle body are you using(cable or Drive-by-wire) and what water pump are you using(truck or LS1)?
What Im wondering is will the stock drive-by-wire TB work with the modifyed truck water pump. The only actual detailed write-up Ive seen with pics the guy was using a cable style BBK 80mm TB and the modifyed truck water pump and there was basiclly no room between the "wheel" part of the TB and the water pump filler neck that already had to be cut to fit. Im not sure on this but Im thinking that the drive by wire Tb is actually wider than the cable TB since it has the motor attached(passanger side where it matters). I know the one I saw was a BBK 80mm but I think the stock drive by wire on is bigger than it even. I know that if I used the LS1 water pump that that I shouldnt have a problem but if I didnt have to go that route I wouldnt becuase it has its own set of problems. Any one with any info regarding this will help. I already know about all the other modding required(idler relocation.alt bracket trimming,etc..) the only thing I need to know about is the water pump and TB. Thanks for everyone who already ahs helped me!
