Exclamation How can I use this intake?
NEED HELP!!!

How can I install this intake on my LS1 F-Body?

All the intake is usable, i have the LS6 coolant lines. Someone has modified the intake snout. Its been shortened and EGR provision removed.

How do I use my stock ls1 TB on this? Notice the open hole where the Idle Air would go? There are no screw spots for my Throttle linkage to attach. But I can make something for that. But how could I use this? Is it no good now? I may have gotten dooped.

It might be the tpis 90mm conversion. Is the opening bigger than your stock tb? You might need to buy a 90mm if this is the case. What is the metal on the top of the intake?

Looks like a weiand or BBk aluminum intake that someone modded the flange to fit a bigger TB

Its just the raised part of the intake, its the Weiand/Lingenfelter intake.

The opening is only like 79mm exactly, so might as well say 80mm.

I have no idea how to make this thing fit, I bought it off the famous craigslist ... but its gotta be usable I would assume.

Well at least you didn't buy a Fast 90 off craigslist that had aluminum melted in it and it destroyed your engine.

Try calling the clown that sold it to you and ask him.

I did, he told me and I quote " Oh, I never thought about the idle air control"... apparently he never had it installed. I dont know what to do. I thought about putting a plate on the back side over that hole and notching the inside so its sealed but still gets air flow, as far as for the vacuum for the left side, Im not 100% on that I will have to look into it, just a lot of work to guess if it will work or not.
