Default dbw throttle body interchangability

A popular swap is lq4 block with l92 heads. What 90mm dbw throttle body is compatable with and 04 lq4 harness,tac and pedal?

It would be nice to have a sticky for this.

90 mm ls3 gold blade and xlink 2.1 work great.

Yes , I wanted to do something similar, I wanted to run TBSS or a NNBS intake and tb on a 2005 L33. But the cost of the X link $225 plus the cost of intake and tb have me holding off for now. Not sure what size injectors the new style is and if they plug in to the Gen lll harness ?

I have always seen the 90mm gold-blade throttle body advertised as from an LS2, not an LS3. I think the LS3 throttle body is much different.

There is no stock 90mm TB that will work with the Gen III truck harness. The TBSS LS2 stuff is Gen IV and the LQ4 is Gen III. Hence the need for the xlink.

The Gen III LQ4 injector plugs are different as well to Gen IV 4.8/5.3 but I am not 100% sure I know the L92/LS3 units are different.

I meant to say it works great.

I found the xlink used. I'm just glad it works.

I ordered the tb for a 2010 camero. It was cheap.
