B-Series Throttle Body On D-Series IM ?s
 

So i got myself a B18 throttle body.[Ls]

I know it bolts up and i can throw it on there but my z6 TB has a FITV and the LS doesnt.

Should i be concerned about this??

Also, z6 MAP sensor isnt physically attached to the TB as to where the LS on is.

Again, should i be concerned with this?

And lastly, the LS TB didnt come with the TPS. Can i put the z6 one on the LS TB?

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

someone correct me, but i thought only the y8 im could hold a B series tb...

Re: B-Series Throttle Body On D-Series IM ?s
 

-Correcting you- lol

Re: B-Series Throttle Body On D-Series IM ?s
 

you dont need the FITV. so with ur new TB its fine to bypass it. idk about the MAP
:D

Re: B-Series Throttle Body On D-Series IM ?s
 

lol. ok, im in for info as well then. as im puttin one on a z6 w/ y8 im...

Re: B-Series Throttle Body On D-Series IM ?s
 

you need the map sensor, without it i believe it'll throw a cel

Re: B-Series Throttle Body On D-Series IM ?s
 

i want to get a y8 IM as well. but i just got the TB for now. but i wanna make sure it works right, no crazzy idling and all.

Re: B-Series Throttle Body On D-Series IM ?s
 

no map sensor=bad news. you will throw a CEL and run like poo

Re: B-Series Throttle Body On D-Series IM ?s
 

You cant bolt it up to a z6 manifold because of that reason. And you will get no performance boost from running a B18 TB on a D series IM without porting out the D series manifold to support it. And you cant run without a map sensor.

Wow, cuz im a total idiot and didnt know all of that, LOL. i know i have to port my IM. i know i need a map sensor. my question is that will it work though the map sensor is directly bolted onto the b seried throttle body. Because thez6 MAP sensors are bolted to the firewall or fuel filter or somewhere around there

Re: B-Series Throttle Body On D-Series IM ?s
 

itl work. as long as you have a mapsensor hooked up some how with vaccum going to it.
but i wouldnt bother putn it on though unles it matches the im.

Re: B-Series Throttle Body On D-Series IM ?s
 

ya yo cant really do it on a Z6 manifold unless you patch the TB for the Map sensor hole. And idk how the car is going to run without a FITV, it think its going to idle low as hell or stall until it warms up.

on my gsr (i know its a dif motor) but i got a new TB that doesnt have the FITV thingy and i bypassed the coolant hose and it runs fine...wen it does run..i hate that car

Re: B-Series Throttle Body On D-Series IM ?s
 

i have the ls tb on ma bored out y8 on ma d16z6
and it fit nd connected perfectly.

Re: B-Series Throttle Body On D-Series IM ?s
 

^ huh:blink:

Re: B-Series Throttle Body On D-Series IM ?s
 

i think what he saying is he has a ls throttle body on his ported y8 manifold on his d16z6.
and it fit and connected perfectly.....

johnny-blaze maybe spend some of that weed money on micorsoft word.... just a thought.

Re: B-Series Throttle Body On D-Series IM ?s
 

pahahaha

Re: B-Series Throttle Body On D-Series IM ?s
 

yes it will fit fine on a y8 manifold but not a z6 mani because of the location of the map sensor...

Re: B-Series Throttle Body On D-Series IM ?s
 

Go to the junkyard, get a b series MAP and cut the plug off the harness...

Re: B-Series Throttle Body On D-Series IM ?s
 

all the map sensors are the same that are on the throttle bodies. Actually all the maps might be the same.

Re: B-Series Throttle Body On D-Series IM ?s
 

Well im throwing this out there. He probably has the firewall mounted Map sensor. My old lx had it that way. And i believe the DX does also. Only the z6 has the map on TB. So if he has any of the above models and swapped in a z6 that would explain his issue with the map.

Re: B-Series Throttle Body On D-Series IM ?s
 

No, the Z6 has a map on the IM, i believe its on the back of it.

Re: B-Series Throttle Body On D-Series IM ?s
 

Please show me how this is true......

Re: B-Series Throttle Body On D-Series IM ?s
 

nevermind. Its on the TB, so then wtf is the OP's problem? He just needs to take the MAP off and put it on the new TB...

pic is for u mortificationrock :X

Re: B-Series Throttle Body On D-Series IM ?s
 

:swords: oh snaps.

my 94dx has the map on the TB.
op shouldnt even do this. its a waste of time..realy there isnt any "upgrade" to this
