Any older GM 2.3l engine has a 56mm TB

ok well i went and got one off a beretta and wut are the two vaccum hoses everyone talks about mine looks like it will go right on
Re: 2.3 throttle body

On the back on the TB there are 4 hoses in totla, but on the 2.3TB there are only 3. YOu need to add a vacume line. I find the easiest is to drill a 3/16 inch hole about an inch from the other 3/16th inch nipple. Then you can use a 3/16th Hard fuel line, Cutt about 2 inches and stick it in hole, and jbweld in place. Let it sit overnight to fully harden.

You will also need to modify the bracket if you do not use the 2.2tb rotor. I had alot of problems tring to swap rotors, so i made up a bracket, for mine using the old 23.TB rotor. Also only 2 of the 4 bolts actually line up, and you must use the 2.3TB sensors in order for it to work correctly. I garuntee when you start to drive with it you will have a small high pitched sound, thats a vacuume leak. You can seal the TB properly by cleaning off the old gasket in the 2.3TB and either put a small bead of RTV gasket sealer, or buy some cork gasket material and make your own.


But if you searched for this, all the info would have come up.

just adding a T shaped vacumme connection is not a smart idea, alot of people have had many problems doing it that way.
