Drive by wire TB?
Had to get a new intake manifold for the C5, so I opted for the FAST with a 92mm opening. I think I may have made a huge mistake! I can't find a 92mm drive by wire throttle body anywhere. Thoughts?

Look for an LS2 SILVER blade 90mm TB. Then you need the conversion harness from Lingenfelter for 78mm to 90mm TB. Which FAST intake did you purchase? Also you can reuse your 78mm TB with the adapter plate from 3 bolt to 4 bolt.

you can also cut the plugs off and wire it directly into your current harness, it looks much cleaner that way imo

Thanks for your reply - I should have shared a little more info, I want to install a NOS wet kit that has a 92mm adapter, so I'd like to stay away from having to run two adapters because I already had to shim my power steering pump to make room for the single three bolt to four bolt adapter plate I'm currently using.

Frankly using a stock Tb on a Fast intake defeats the purpose of a larger intake. You have gone this far get a larger TB and the proper harness. With NOS and the Tb you will
need a tune anyway.
Good luck

I don’t have a sock TB. I’m looking for a larger TB to use with a 92mm nitrous adapter.
