Default Installing Victor Intake /w Accufab 90mm, whats needed to make TB work?

I am swapping to Victor Jr carb style intake with a 90 deg intake elbow and I have a standard Accufab 90mm thottle body


This throttle body isnt a LS1 specific one.

What all is needed to make factory TPS etc work with this throttle body?

Also I read there is some issues with the IAC, how do i resolve this or what parts do I need to order.

You need an LS1 specific unless you are controling it with FAST,BS3 or another standalone.

What about if I am using Mega Squirt for my EFI stuff?

Can I then just hook up to the ford accufab TB?

When I was doing my intake, we thought about using the Wilson elbow and accufab throttlebody. Everyone I asked said the Ford electronics could be wired-up. I didn't take a chance and had an elbow made by Aaron Larson( who is a sponsor now) that used the LSX/Nick Williams 90mm throttlebody flange.

Hmmm I can save a few hundred bucks with the accufab throttle body and also go with 105mm instead of 90mm for my turbo setup.

I wonder if there are any cons or negatives to the 105mm TB. I dont think there should be.

We were also thinking about the 105mm. It turns out that the 90mm if probably more than adequate for our needs.

I always like to over do it in the first place so if I end up with some crazy 350cfm type heads later, i wont wanna upgrade anything else to keep up.

This 105mm elbow was used on the ls1 computer for a while, with no IAC (just a few more rpm's at idle).

The Ford throttle position sensor is adjustable, I would just get a multimeter (since I don't know the ls1's base voltage at idle) and set the ford one to the same specs as the stock ls1.
