Doing an LS1/T56 swap into my 1997 E36 M3. I didn't realize until recently that the C5's were a DBW setup, as there was no throttle body on the motor when I got it, and it did not come with a throttle pedal. I'm looking to convert to DBC since that's how the E36 is set up anyway, and since I have some of the parts. I do have a list of questions, however.


1. What parts do I need? I currently have a DBC ported stock throttle body, LS6 intake manifold/injectors, and an 0411 PCM which I will need to get tuned anyway, and will mention that it's being used in a DBC setup. I am ordering IAC and TPS plugs for a 2002 Camaro to be added into the C5 harness. What else is missing?


2. Where does the DBC plug into the red and blue connectors on the C5 harness? I have read the conversion process on http://www.lt1swap.com/cable_conversion.htm but it seems to be addressing adding a DBC throttle body to a later truck harness, can't find much info on swapping a C5 LS1 harness to DBC.

I believe it sounds like you have all the parts needed already for a DBC throttle body. We, Speartech Fuel Injection, can build you a harness if you would like to support the 0411 Red/Blue PCM for your swap vehicle. Feel free to check out our website or give us a call. 765-378-4908

Any other thoughts on this?

My friend converted his '98 LS1 Vette motor to DBC. I advised him to go with an '02 truck throttle body (cheaper and easier to find than the Fbody, and fits the LS6 intake) and a Fbody harness and PCM (reworked by Wait4Me).
