Throttle body imput

[Slyclone]

I just purchased another new throttle body for my truck.

I was under the impression it was OEM/specific to the trucks.

Not too long ago I purchased a real nice holley 58mm unit and it was similar. Similar in the way which it had to need work performed to it to make it all function correct on a syclone/typhoon engine setup.

I ended up getting all the parts, but I bailed out on project and sold it all. Too much work for me. (in my eyes) I am not set up machine shop and could not handle the tolerances.

So.. My truck now is apart and I am cleaning almost every part on the truck and it either gets cleaned/stored or put on. I recently snapped a fastner in my TB and was faced with finding something new.

My latest dilemma is I purchase this new OEM throttle body listed as Syclone/Typhoon. Here I get the throttle body and it has the nubs on it like it was a Camaro throttle body. When I purchase my Holley unit it was similar era Camaro. What bugged me out was I removed the new unit from box and it was not like my original sy-ty throttle body which I thought this was going to be. A direct bolt on. Again with this part, I have to modify or make it work and I was really not looking to do that route. Requires grinding or machining them off.

I am just wondering what you guys think I just tried to clear this up with the seller, knowing it was listed incorrect or some type of corvette/camaro part.

Do they all need to be modified? my goal was to find something to just bolt on and be done with it. Upon rectifying this with the seller on ebay, he just basically ended his message with good luck with my engine build. I wanted to return it because seems it was not listed correctly.

Or am I wrong and do they all come like this and require the mod to work? Right now I am not looking to go back and fourth with the seller. Id rather see what everyone else thinks or gather some knowledge on this.

Here is a picture of my old one that a fastner broke, but it has pins removed.

Here is the new one (left with the nubs) and my old one right with out

Thanks.

I would probably try to get a refund and get a hold of Sportmachines if you are wanting a direct replacement. I am sure they can hook you up with a bolt in and go set up.

I bought a NOS SyTy throttle body about 6 years ago. I went out and checked it, it looks like the original not like the NOS TB you have.

Re: Throttle body imput

I just am not digging how I would have to shave off the pins/nubs carefully or how ever its done. I went through all this with my Holley unit and thats why I decided to bail out on the project. Some times there is more involved than you think...

Already sent seller a message and he told me it is a SY/TY throttle body. with some info but he told me I have to un-screw the parts where the linkages actually hook up. Well I described to him that they are press fit and mushroomed over. does not have threads in anyway

Here was the Holley project which is same issue I have with the new one except holley you can take apart, this new OEM unit you really cant..







Here is my old/new side by side you can see how the linkage fasten points are pressed in. What am I supposed to do grind that off? I dont think the guy is accepting refunds.

I still think listing was wrong. As this is identical to the camaro throttle body I had. same linkage provisions.

Re: Throttle body imput

The problem with online descriptions, it will physically bolt up and the body is the same, it's the cam throttle gears that are different, but they don't take that into consideration when telling you about the part.

The closest TB that will work are not the LT1's but the L-98 TPI cars in camaro and corvette.

Re: Throttle body imput

Think I am stuck with it. It is what it is.

I just did not want to drill, or grind or machine anything. It seems like too nice of a part to do it to. I was on the same page with the even nicer holley one .

If eBay, did you Paypal?

It's not right. End of story. He should give a refund. How much did you pay?

Re: Throttle body imput

I can take pictures of mine if it helps (I have the original AC delco box as well).

Re: Throttle body imput

I think I have a OEM original box as well, which I have had for some time. From another throttle body.

I dont think it matters, the numbers appear to be the same. Its the linkage that is different.



You can share yours or compare it to mine and let me know if your original box if different or the same as my original box.
