Default FI Project - Built ZC Throttle body???

Man I love how the new site is set up. Very informative etc.

Great job guys.


MY question is this: What Throttle Body are you using on the built ZC you just mention GM...? 80mm how can I tell which ones will work on a custom manifold?

THX going to yard in 5 hours....

they come on the newer c5 vettes, and some of the newer trucks (denali's/escalades), highly doubt you will see one in the junkyard.

the newer ones are controlled by wire (electronic) this is a manual one.

Try ebay...

So this essential will work. What does the other side look like that attaches to the intake mani?

Does it have a TPS like ours? or do we have to put one on?

Any idea what one would be workth from dealer? Or one off ebay?

The biggest one at wrecker was small haha.

Maybe a dual d16 T body setup would be cool.... I wonder how hard that would be? You could just weld rod etc. to the two things.

I;ll make up some plans and post back here...
