Dorman ls2 intake - parts needed 2004 Z06
Thinking about going Dorman to replace the LS6 intake. 2004 Z06. Mild porting to clean things up.
Intake 3 bolt to 4 bolt adapter MAP relocation kit Shave rear pillar down to fit Questions: Where does the brake booster line go to on the Dorman? Do the steam lines need to be relocated? Thanks IA! |
Should go to the back like normal.
Steam lines should be normal as well. Why not just go to an ls2 tb?? |
Because I believe the power steering reservoir is in the way.
I'm having a hell of a time trying to find a three bolt throttle body adapter to a 90mm intake adapter. Found an MSD one, but the specs indicate that its for a 102 MM intake. Any guidance is appreciated! Ls6 throttle body to 4 bolt 90 mm intake. |

Intake 3 bolt to 4 bolt adapter-Get a ls2 TB it's a 90mm opening thats why you are upgrading MAP relocation kit-http://www.casperselectronics.com/ca...product_id=494 Shave rear pillar down to fit- You shave the manifold down in the rear where the map sensor would go. Questions: Where does the brake booster line go to on the Dorman? Same place as the stocker but you will need a t line for the hvac lines. Do the steam lines need to be relocated? I didn't have to do anything to mine. Thanks IA! Answers in bold in quoted text I used this as a guide https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...-find-out.html Also you have to flip the TB if you get a ls2 tb so you will need a maf extender Are you talking about this adapter? they are all over the place. https://www.ebay.com/itm/LS1-LS2-LS6...9ZSUrp&vxp=mtr |
Gotcha. Thanks, guys.
Also, that wording for the adapter is confusing. Should be something like, "LS6 throttle body to four bolt intake adapter". |

Allows any 3 bolts (LS1/LS6) LS intake manifold to fit 4 bolts (LS2 / LS3 / LS7 / L92 / L99 / L76) -Direct bolt -Allow to use with any LS 3 bolt intake manifold to any LS 4 bolts intake manifold -Made from high quality T-6 aluminum -Including gasket and bolts -Improve throttle responds -Instant power gain |
Ok. LS2 tb it is.
Silver blade or gold blade? |
Silver blade, OE 12570790, which was also used on some of the early LS7's.
I'm getting ready to tackle this project too. So post up your progress. |
What he said...Don't forget you need the ls1 to ls2 tb adapter. Caspers electronics sells it.
|
How much larger is the OD of the 90mm TB? I've got a BBK 80mm TB now. Just curious what I may need to do differently with my intake tube.

This Dorman intake was a last second decision for me. My plan was to run the GM truck rear coolant crossover, but test fitting last night, the Dorman intake hits the crossover. Not sure if i'll be able to bend the crossover any. Otherwise I may be going with the Trickflow steam vent kit. I had wanted it initially but the truck crossover is much more economical.
|
So.... sounds like a steam pipe kit is needed. Yes?
|
I can't recall what I did but may have done the delete thing since i live out here in the desert. I'll take a pic tommorow

My 2001 doesn't have the rear steam vents but I was adding them. For folks with the LS1 style factory 4 corner vent lines, they seem to have mixed results smashing them down... which also seems like they would be less effective. So my guess would be that if you want a guaranteed solution, something like the Trickflow kit would be pretty good.
It may be a week or more before I'm back in the garage, but if I can tweak the GM truck crossover to work with the Dorman, I'll post up. |

Bill Curley has posted where he ran the 01+ front on the rear, others have used a truck front cross over on the rear. Google image search is a good place to start. |
Will this work?

Or just get another front crossover?

I found GM 12605716. Looking for the front truck crossover.
