Cute right? Wait until it gets some spit and polish.

So ladies and gentleman, that is the "rough", finished project. Ill let you know how much of a piece of crap it is Tuesday or Wednesday.

I still need to get to work polishing this thing up with a bajillion different grits of grittiness, but besides that it's done.

I always wondered how one would get an LS1 tb to work on our cars.. As far as sensors and stuff..

Mani looks good.

Use kerosene as a sanding compound to keep your sand paper from loading up. It may sound stupid but it works great for polishing aluminum. For your finish sanding use a scotchbrite pad along with the kerosene.


If your interested in custom aluminum tilt wheel levers hit me up!

If you have a flange, you can even make an LS1 throttle body work on a 2.3HO intake manifold, w/ a lil bit of fabrication.

looks sweet

karo had a 71or larger tb on his HO intake , and GM used a LS1 style tb on the drag eco's


them tb spacers we hate , make great adapters

did you use mini velocity stacks in the plenum?

looks like it'll make some serious power, unlike a certain other company's manifold for the J.

Too small to cover the end on a plenum of this size. Works on an HO manifold though fairly well.

I had a shop on eBay fabricate a plate to mount my Northstar TB to. Unfortunately, I haven't gotten around to having the end of the HO manifold chopped and rewelded to the adapter plate.

By the way Spyhunter, the manifold looks good.

Hi i have a very similar setup on my ecotec with the ls1 throttle body. Do you have any pics on how you setup the throttle cable? I used the ls1 bracket but its touching the hood and i was curious how u did it.

Here's a few pics so you can see. I think my cable sits on the other side from urs.

I'll have a pic of the setup installed, and you'll clearly see how i routed the throttle cable, but that will be on Thursday or Friday. I've got some kinks to work out and my JEEP needs some love over the next few days.

i was saying that more for use with other manifolds , it gives a geart start to those that dont have the necessary means to fabricate their own , since no one really makes them

I guess I was mainly wondering how our 2.4 harness plugs into the sensors and connectors of an ls1 TB.. ?

Ill be looking to upgrade from my measly 56mm here after my dyno..

dont worry man, i was thinking the same thing. who'd have thought the 2.4 and LS1 shared the exact same TB sensors and such.

weird. cool, but weird.

I was just wondering how this project turned out? Did you get any gains from this or did the project get dumped? I seen someone selling venom manifolds like this on ebay for about an $arm. It wasnt able to accept a tb as big as the one your using I think theres only accepted a 65mm. Anyway you did a nice job I would like to see the finnished product.
