Does any company make a coupler for the LT1 that connects to the TB? i need to replace my metal intake tube(vortech unit) and would rather not spend the money on it or a trick flow. LS1-LS2 motors i have seen on here have something like what i'm talking about.

Check turbohoses if you can't find a sponsor. They have adapters that may work...

What is the perimeter of the LT1 TB? You could use any round silicone coupler I would think and just squish it to form around the oval LT1 TB I would think. Just measure the perimeter and then divide it by pi and that should get you the diameter of an equivalent circular hose. I ordered all my couplers from siliconeintakes

Do NOT order from them. We ordered about $100 worth of hoses/clamps,and the credit card charge went through, but they didn't send anything. If they are out of business, then why are they still accepting payments. We had to dispute the charge with the CC company.

One more vote for them. I have 2 turbo vehicles that I've done FMIC's on & used them for both cars, I think that every time I've ordered through them they shipped the same day.

will the hose beable to handle boost blowing through it though? i'm suprised i'm the only one to want to do this?

Silicone may slide off under moderate to high boost conditions. I use a rubber hose that under enough boost eventually started to come off as well. I ended up fixing this by having a metal bead line welded on the TB for the hose to have something to hang on to when clamped.

PS call911- are you still using the stock radiator?

CALL911

iTrader: (17)

Yeah, stock ratiator, stock waterpump, and it runs nice and cool

i got rid of my stock radiator with only 30,000miles on it. i figured i would get something alittle better. i would like to move it forward as well as its easier to work on the blower.

Most guys seem to have overheating issues when running the stock radiator. Mine has over 90,000 miles on it, and it still keeps my blown motor nice and cool. I'm not sure why I have success when so many others have issues, but I did have to move my radiator a little forward for room between it and the 12 ribbed blower belt, and upgrading to an aftermarket radiator definatly will help aid in cooling and fitting issues.

Anyways, good luck on the coupler.
