Does anyone know if the electronics and actuator are transferable from a stock throttle body. 05-09

as soon as i plug the kb tb into my harness my car goes into fail safe mode. stock tb no codes no fail safe mode.

Should be. I swapped GT500 TB actuator over to my Whipple Mono Blade. Pretty sure that the are the same.

Without a tune it's always going to happen.

Well that's a given I thought. I figured there was a new tune. Good thought Bruce.

Lito has been working on my tune all weekend and said if the car goes right into fail safe mode that there is most likely something wrong with the throttle body. The car i got the blower off of had some issues with going into fail safe mode too, but it was intermittent.

follow up:

The stock electronics are transferable. I swapped both the throttle position and actuator sensors and everything works great now.

Side note, the kb tb does have brass gears to drive the blade.

check the gears after a few thousand miles, you may need to clean and lube them.
