So on my quest to get a GT500 throttle body for my car I have run across a few things. I went ahead and ordered one after little research. Four problems.
First small one is I need a 5"-4.5" coupler. Easy fix.
Second is because I have taller 60lbs injectors the throttle body is hitting my fuel line, and actually cut through the rubber part of it. I need new fuel rails with lines coming off the front. Easy Fix.
Third is that the TPS made it so the TB did not fit. The Stock TPS was 24mm wide and the GT500 TPS is 30mm wide!! Hopefully an easy fix as I switched TPS between the two.
Fourth is the bolt holes are 135mm apart on the Whipple elbow (stock 3V TB) and the holes on the GT500 TB are 140mm apart. Little harder of a fix as I will have to drill another hole or ream the hole already there.
My only question is this: Does anyone think the TPS switching will pose any problems? I was told they both should operate on a 0-5V principle. Can anyone confirm this? Or should I get a tune that uses the 3V TPS and the GT500 throttle opener gear DBW thingy?
