Thread: Gtx has a turbo!! lol

You'll need an adapter plate from ZZP or Wbodystore to use your original throttle body, you'll need to mill your LIM to fit the bigger outlet of the S\C, and you'll need to drill\tap your TB to accept the PCV. Do you have a pic of this metal gasket? I haven't seen a metal one before, it'll need some sort of silicon or something to seal correctly.

Plate:
ZZPerformance - Gen 5 to L67/L36 Throttle Body Adapter Plate #ZZ-GEN5L67L36-TBA

or

Gen V Throttle Body Adapter

What you need to do to your TB:

Yeah ill have a picture for you soon and could I make the tb work with my car?

No, 2004+ (Gen V) are drive-by-wire, meaning no throttle cable, it's all computer controlled. They also have a 4 bolt flange, whereas the Gen 3 is a 3 bolt flange, that's why you need the adapter plate.

Lol yeah I just looked at it and saw it had no throttle cable

A

Yea, I need one of those, what year did you get that gasket off of? I want one bad now, lol.

I found it, they're 06+ gaskets. Mine came off an 04, so I got hosed on that one. I have the part number now, and it's cheaper! Thanks man!

Lol yeah its actually a 06 so that would be why is there a way to use the fuel rails I don't think I can just took them with lol

You can use it, but you'd have to buy some more stuff, and there is no advantage to it at all. the stock l67 fuel rail works just fine, I have it on mine. Here's a pic, and you can also see the throttle body adapter.

Im thinking of polishing the gen v as well, going to see if I have a parts blaster or something at my job

I got this out of a flipped over ss trail blazer I like the look

could I use this n* off a 32 valve deville 98

I know the Northstar TB is the next engine upgrade I'll be doing, after suspension is done. I know you need a different adapter plate, external MAF, a tune for it, and connectors for the N* TPS, IAC, etc. You can buy adapters for the connectors, or cut your stock connectors off and solder the Northstar connectors (harvested at a JY). You know me, I plan the second one. Thats about all I know about the swap itself, I need to find out what year Northstars are compatible, and all the little details out on the swap.

I dont think it will be a easy to get this one to work lol

Not to say you couldn't make the one you have work, but it would be much more effort than finding the "right" one.

The whole N* TB isn't really worth getting into unless you have some more serious mods like ported heads, cam or intercooler.

Just for our reference, would you know what year(s) those TB's came off of?

Yea, thats why I went the l67 TB route, I needed my car on the road again. The l67 TB's bore is smaller than the Gen V, so it'll be a bottleneck. Not a big one, but something I'll fix down the road, either by porting my TB or going Northstar.
