Default Stock LS1 Intake Manifold to 92mm TB Adapter

So, I have a nice NW 92mm throttle body sitting around doing nothing but look nice.

I would love to mount it to a stock LS1 intake manifold. What would you fellas recommend for an adapter plate?

Thanks!

They sell adapter plates on ebay but I would see no benefit from you doing this

Thanks...

Performance wise, I see no benefit either. This is to simply utilize a nice looking product that has been sitting in a box for three years

Qfly. Check out the Dorman LS2 intake replacement part number 615-901, it looks like a Fast 92 but is less than half the price of a Fast 92. It seems promising but there aren't any results yet. Might be something to keep in mind for $332 or so...

This thread talks about it. See last 2 pages.

I think you have to use LS2 fuel rails and injectors with the Dorman LS2 intake.

No ,you can use LS1 rails , it has the same mount points as the Dorman LS6 . The LS2D has brackets to adapt the LS2/3 rails to work in the LS2 application.

I tried to use an adapter plate with the NW TB and things did not work out so well. I could not get enough throttle cable length to get the motor below 1500 or so rpm.

So, I said the heck with it and put the stock TB back on.

On the positive side, my throttle response appears to be a little better after adjusting the throttle cable length to take up the small amount of slack that was present

I'll save the 92mm tb for later use

Thanks for the information fellas,

Cheers!

If you use a tb spacer or adapter you also need a bracket to move the throttle cable mount closer to the tb.

Any idea on a bracket that would work?

Much appreciated!

Thank you for the information.

I actually had the Fast 92 intake but not for long. The Fast intake I purchased came ported and the porting job was farked up so I sent it back for a refund.

Eventually, I will purchase another intake.

I do not, when I bought my truck it had a tb spacer on it and when I took it off my throttle cable was too long and would not get WOT.

I pulled the engine cover off and found a matching bracket on the throttle cable to move it forward about an inch.

They make a few adapter plates out there, quick google search should suffice. Probably pick up throttle response and a few ponies.

I actually have an adapter plate for the 92mm tb. However, I need a throttle cable adapter due to insufficient cable length when coupled with the adapter plate.

Cheers!
