throttle body differences?

[warmpancakes]

Re: throttle body differences?

I think the TB sensor and throttle linkage. I was going to get one from Arizona Speed and Marina but they wanted to hack mine up to make a new one. Those were the two things they talked about. There is a coolant port on ours we don't use. The L98 uses that port. I know they make an electrical adapter, so I bet it's just the linkage?

The 85-88 L98's have a completely different throttle linkage. The 89 up L98 TB looks similiar, I think the bolt on part is different. I really don't know the difference.

Another thing I found out with my Corvette is the early style (85-88) TPI Camaro and Corvette have different throttle bodies, the Camaro one had an extra vacuum port.

ken, if you want a tb flange for your project...i can help

 

[warmpancakes]

Re: throttle body differences?

I can probably use one of those flanges 3/8 thick?

Re: throttle body differences?

i made one like this for myself w/o all the rounded crap on it to make it easier to weld to/make an intake:

which style would you rather have? that is 1/2" alum in the pic

Re: throttle body differences?

the second one But Im almost tempted to remove the "wall" in between the holes

 

[MikeRenz]

Re: throttle body differences?

i can do that too. i think i have some drawings at home like that. What about the middle hole-prolly serves no purpose for you.

What're you doing for a gasket? The stock gasket has the 'wall'

Re: throttle body differences?

One of the companies (I think TPIS) used to make a Monoblade Throttle Body to fit TPI intakes.

Re: throttle body differences?

ken should go w/ a billet tb anyway

Re: throttle body differences?

Negative. That is not the mono-blade. The mono-blade is oval shaped just like the standard TB but no divider in the middle.

This is the mono-blade from AZ Speed & Marine. TPiS looks just the same.

ah i see this is a MAF setup for LT1. my bad. it looks like it'd bolt up though :lol:

 

[warmpancakes]

Re: throttle body differences?

I like the mono blade Mike posted it has a round enterance too bad its for LT1 cars so the cruise wont work, unless I ditch the cruise


I might just finish figuring out the drive by wire and do the LS1 throttle body then its just wires :tup:

 

[dgoodhue]

Re: throttle body differences?

Their was an oval one available as well.

Re: throttle body differences?

monoblade is sweet. But where does the air foil go? how would you make any power w/o an air foil?

That's where the Tornado comes in. It creates a vortex of swirling air the makes the combustion more complete.

:hijack:
Forget about mono-blade. I've got dual mono-blade to install on the Sy @ some point:

Re: throttle body differences?

hey thats a DFI throttle body, be careful with part throttle tip it, unless you have the newer model with progressive throttle linkage
