Soler Performance C8 Throttle Body Install & MORE.

Hands on installation.

Note: Matt went above and beyond what is required for only the TB swap BUT it is still a clean/easier install w/ useful info for anyone looking to do other things beyond the TB as well (generally speaking; valuable overall removal/installation info to have on the C8).

Hope you enjoy the video.

Cheers!

It is much easier to remove the intake manifold with the throttle body still attached to it. You won't need to remove anything in/thru the trunk either, 15 minute job this way.

Wow. This is good to know. I want to get intake manifold ported and do throttle body at same time so this will save lots of work.

Agreed, that's my plan too. Soler ported TB again for sure (had one on my C7), and either a Wilson or SoCal Porting ported intake manifold. Decisions decisions... but I wonder if WeaponX will get into porting the LT2 IM like they did for the LT1 (had theirs on my C7)?

Matt will probably take his car to the drag strip soon. That's what he does.

Has anyone video'd this process instead ?

Assume Coupe or HTC is effectively the same ....
